My moon, my Dan

What a wonderful man.
To my two-year-old boy:
I see that little smirk on your face and I wonder what you are planning; I know it will bring a smile to my face. You are a fun little guy, my Dan. With curls for miles and more charm than you know what to do with.
Every night I find myself smiling at the funny things you have done throughout the day - whether it's taking Hock for a ride on your new toy bike, or colouring a "fish", or singing the alphabet (a, b, la la la, h, m, ess, ess, la la la, double yewwwww, esss). Ever-changing, constantly amazing, you are a true light in my life.
Love mom

Helllloooooo!

Ever have one of those days where people are giving you nice smiles and you think to yourself, I must be looking pretty good today; only to look in the mirror in the bathroom and realize it looks like a bird could comfortably nest in your hair? It's that kind of day...
Needing a haircut,

Lily is here!

Lily Michaela Jackson made her grand entrance to the world on April 7, weighing in at 7lbs, 7oz and 21.5" long. I get to meet her on Saturday and i can hardly wait!!!! She is so beautiful. Jill had a bit of a long labour, but thankfully no real problems! Lily is nursing well already and her dad is already a sucker for her - or so i hear...

Take care,

Tubular Rasa

No tubes for Dan! Somehow his body - ears - naturally drained the fluid. He has to go back for regular check ups, but still... Now he doesn't have to be put under and that takes a load off my mind.

Dan and Hock

OR A Tale of a Boy and His Wiener

Dan has a new best friend. He dearly loves this little guy - wants to have him in his hand constantly. Meet Hock. Dan's wiener. Of the plastic variety. How exactly does a child decide that a plastic hot dog should be his most beloved possession? I have no idea.

But if Hock (or sometimes Hockie) gets lost, we are in for a world of distress. We have already had to say - "Stop! Everyone look for the Hock! Olivia, have you seen the hock?"

It's amazing how dexterious he can be while holding firmly to Hock. He can eat, play games, read books, colour, just about anything, with Hock in his hand.

But the best, THE BEST, was watching as Dan found and donned Olivia's glass slippers, a beaded necklace, and twirled in circles singing - while still holding on to that hot dog - natch!

Here I thought the duckie blanket would be the can't-live-without-it item. See how wrong I can be?

Take care,

V
