yesterday I finished reading The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, and I have to say that it was the first time in a really long time that I was absolutely compelled to keep reading once I hit the final third of a book. Bea was having a particularly cuddly day in which she really [...]
I added lots of photos into bea’s album, click here to get to the album, or try out the link on the right. edited to add a video… bea is starting to coo and have little chats with us, which you just can’t capture in a photo but the video does a pretty good job.
I would have some way to remember the fleeting moments, some words capable of capturing the scent of a scene, the glint and flash of a single maple leaf floating down towards the ground in the autumn sun, a flock of leaves in formation between branch and ground. the smiles and coos of my baby, [...]

Tom found real cotton wool at london drugs, and I found omega eggs at the corner store across the street from our apartment. [...]
does anyone know where I can buy cotton wool? like cotton balls, or even a big roll of soft, absorbent fluff made out of real cotton instead of icky rayon “absorbent puffs”? I don’t remember ever having this problem in canada before, but it seems that all the cotton balls have disappeared out of the [...]
a few updates: bea has totally figured out how to smile. I’ve been trying to get a picture, but catching just the right expression on a baby’s face is really difficult. most of the pictures turn out blurry, off-centre or just that moment too late to get the true smile. but this one gives a [...]
