Logan's Loot

Well Christmas has come and gone and Logan scored huge! Look at all this loot!! Man, I can't believe how many toys, clothes, money, etc. a 12 lbs baby can get!Some of the neat highlights were the classic Tupperware red and blue circle that you put the yellow shapes in (still shiny!), a pair of carhartts, a cool crazy stuffed robot and some Vancouver Canucks shoes. With some of the Christmas money we plan to get one of those baby backpacks. Any...

Twas the Night before Chaos

Well Christmas is here, let chaos run free like Santa's reindeers on lichen. No really, they love the stuff! Although the submission date is already the 25th, these thoughts have accumulated over the last week. Logan's first Christmas plus the standard chaos package that comes with the season is coming to an end. I've got presents to buy, work to finish for the year, friends to visit, dinners to plan, elaborate meals to consume, beverages to...

Tis the Season

Well here we are, 2 months with Logan! It seems like forever in more ways than one. Regardless if you look at the positives or negatives, it's been a hell of a ride so far! Dora and I look at ourselves everyday and question our sanity. Once in the morning and once in the evening. This week we put up our Christmas tree and Logan's first tree! Pretty sweat eh? My youngest brother picked up the tree for us in the forest reserve. I'm not sure...

W.O.W.

Well this is a wow of a different sort, "Words Of Wisdom". When was the last time you backed up your computer? More specifically, when did you back up your photos last? We all have our little treasures. Moments in time, events that changed us, things we want to forget but love to be reminded of. Often these treasures are captured on film or nowadays, captured on bytes of information. As you might have guess from my intro, I had "computer problems"....

Big, big day!!

Sorry no photos available at this time. Logan is down for a nap - finally, and I'm not risking the stress of a half loaded blog. Maybe I can add them later...Anyway, back to the news...yesterday was a big day! It started pretty badly for me with numerous late night/early morning feedings and I was rather a bitchy zombie by 6:30. Thankfully my knight in fat pants and fleece rescued me from my little terror (though he's pretty darn cute) and let me sleep. Then Wonderboy came back after 3 hrs with dad for some chow. Now, normally a good feed...

Off on a Tangent

Well as it has been well documented, I am a gearhead. True, true as far as addictions go it could be worse. Here is a frivilous piece of gear that I have this strange yearning to own. It comes from a company called "civilian labs". With a name so scientific, how could I not want one!I'm sure every boy has dreamed of being part of some elite tactical force... or a Ninja. This would involve the quick access to gear and equipment. As their website...

A quick analysis of the Oilers

After the crushing hit to Ryan Smyth, it was questionable how the Oilers would do against St. Louis. With the close race between Edmonton and Calgary in the overall standing, the upcoming game would be critical. When asked, Logan gave a look of surprise and quickly stated that Ryan would be quick to recover and told critics to watch as St. Louis was to reap the whirlwind.Logan was quick to relax after this swift reply as he relaxed into the arms...

Hell-o-ween Pt.2

Well, as mentioned in the previous post, we've been pretty busy this last week. With it being Halloween and me having to deal with a fussy baby AND get dora a present, I was having a bit of trouble.As it turns out, I had been pretty swift as to start the birthday hunt early in August. I actually commisioned a pottery piece from the velvet antler pottery in Field, BC. They were producing some ceramic coffee cups in a beautiful red, which apparently...

Hell-o-ween Pt.1

Yeah, it's been like 10 days since my last entry. Well guess what....Actually I've got nothing. This last week has been a difficult one. Fussy baby, busy at work, no sleep, no life. Funny thing is the last one on my list of complaints is the least of my concern. It's funny how life changes week to week, day to day. It's a paradox of changes that seem to occur daily while time seems to have stopped. I feel like a zombie that just walks through...

And the Winner is....

Well, many guess right! It's a diaper chute! It leads from our deck to a 5 gallon pail at the bottom.

Do I need to put that on VHS or Beta for y...

Mulletless MacGyver

Well, I've MacGyvered again! I may not have as impressive a list as the original Angus MacGyver, but I'm doing alright.List of Problems solved by MacGyverThe laundry basket was an easy contraption, not requiring my "Master of Modification" skills. This new project did however require more than a stick of chewing gum and a paper clip.It works great! What is it? Well that's for you to guess. The winner will receive the first 4 episodes of MacGyver...

Laundry Day

With Dora busy being a mom, Marko Polo had to pick up the slack. That means doing the laundry. I've done my own laundry many times, but since we've moved to the new place and gotten the new machines (LG front loaders) I haven't touched'em.So with a set of quick instructions from Dora I was ready to give it a try! If you have the coin, I highly recommend front loaders. Uses less water, less soap, less energy and it's easier on your clothes. Along...

Golden Shower

Yup... it was bound to happen. The little man showered me with his "little man. As I was performing a change, being dissapointed that he hadn't let loose in over 16hr as the doctor had recommended I was trying to decide if I should be calling someone, when he made up for lost time. Using my Ninja-like reflexes, I dodged the main onslaught of the two foot fountain. My head snapped back so fast I thought I got whiplash. I watched the urine dance...

Home...Finally

Well, the new family is home! After a couple of days in-training, they have let us out of the hospital. With car seat in hand we headed home.It's quite a surreal experience, as you leave that hospital with a living being that you are responsible for. That if left to it's own will perish. That's a lot of responsibility for someone who can't remember to put the toilet seat down!After arriving at home, the big question was how would Denali respond....

Baby iTunes

Day 2:We survived a day and it's been full of some pretty amazing stuff! I think this is the first time in my life where I got up at 3:45 in the morning and was happy about it.We are doing well as a family and I am home for a quick nap and to grab a few things before we head home tomorrow. It's been non-stop action as I've learned to swaddle a baby, change a diaper, help get a baby to latch, sleep on a hospital chair and eat cafeteria food. Sweet...

It happened so fast...

Well, the weekend of thanksgiving is over and the week of left overs begins. After killing the day chatting with D and margarita I thought I'd better whip something up for dinner. Yup, that's right, I was cooking again. I was craving pizza - which always gives me heartburn - but I jumped in anyway. A quick search on the internet revealed an easy to follow recipe and the dough was started...with whole wheat flour of course. Denali and I headed out for a few extra toppings while the dough was rising - it's like I knew what I was doing! Not...

Creme Brule

Well, Thanksgiving: Part II. This sequel almost killed me! I can't remember the last time I ate that much.,I felt like I was going to explode. For desert, instead of a wafer thin mint, I ate 3 deserts. THREE! My God am I dumb!We were invited over to Liminal's parent's house for turkey, and I must say what a treat. It was an ethnic buffet of cullinary delights! It was hopeless as soon as I saw all that food. Oh well, that which does not kill...

Dream Machine

While cruising the Internet for roof rack ideas for our truck, I came across this. My "Dream Machine". It's a Mercedes-Benz Unimog. That's right a unimog on my blog! I dare say this thing is some sort of medieval form of transportation. Regardless, I want one. I wonder if dora will agree?Cast your vote here!You can check out more on this sweet ride at this site.http://www.rockymountainmoggers.com/zebra00intro.h...

Thanksgiving

The turkey came early this year as family is unavailable next weekend. If I wasn't 38 weeks pregnant already, the dinner would've provided stretch marks. The nameless being that currently resides south of my breastbone danced all through dinner. A true omnivore - just like dad - dances for food. It was the creme brule that stole the show though. So good! A nice addition to the traditional pumpkin pie.This Cuc Vampire came along for the ride...
