Well, we finally got the H1N1 vaccine. And by “we” I mean Amelia and I. Ian, apparently, has to wait until Dec 7. Although judging by the lack of crowds today, I bet they open it up to more people sooner than Dec. I had a hard time deciding whether to get non-adjuvanted or adjuvanted [...]

A friend who lives on the east coast just sent me a link to a site for shoes for kids under five years old. The site belongs to a friend of hers, who is trying to get an online shoe business going. Anyway, I’d never heard of any of the shoe brands sold on the [...]
Amelia is talking up a storm. She has a small repertoire of words that we can understand, and many more that sound like words but we aren’t sure what they mean, yet. When you ask her where something is, she turns her palms up and raises her hands in a questioning gesture. She has been [...]
Amelia loves spending time with Ian, and yesterday they got to play together in the park. She tried to sneak rocks in her mouth, and he tried to stop her. Fun times all around! This morning while we were reading Each Peach Pear Plum, I pointed out the drawing of the cat on one of [...]

Ian is in the news! He was interviewed by Montreal Tech Watch about his company and the space he is creating at 2020 University. I love these reusable bags to put in your lunch so you don’t use sandwich bags. Super cool interactive feature in from the NYTimes about how people spend their time.
At the end of last month we sold the condo. It was a relief to get it off our hands, particularly because the condo board had decided that the roof needed redoing and were going to charge us an arm and a leg for our portion. I also worked a couple hours a day for [...]
I am definitely glad I did not end up trying to play ultimate this summer. Ian and I both enjoyed playing with our respective teams this weekend. Plus, we were lucky that both sets of grandparents came to help out with Amelia so we could play. And I still love ultimate. But I would much [...]

A friend from college has a great little business going, bringing local Vermont fare to NYC. His farm makes the best maple syrup I have ever tasted, and I am sure the other products that he sells are of high calibre. For more info, check out his website. In a similar vein, another friend from [...]

Two years ago, Ian and I got married here (photos are here). We legally tied the knot a week before at the courthouse in Montreal but we consider our wedding anniversary to be on June 9th, when we were joined by friends and family for a wonderful weekend in the country. Yesterday, Ian and I [...]
Why is Alias so good? Ian and I decided to rewatch the series and even though this is the third time I have seen season 1, I am continuously impressed with how entertaining it is. I guess I am just a sucker for spy vs. spy action. Anyway, watching a show or two each night [...]
