I'm an Auntie again!

First things first: a HUGE congrats to my sister Natasha and Dave on the birth of their third child - a girl!! This as-yet-to-be-named baby took her time in joining us in the world, but she's finally here weighing in at 7lbs 14oz. We can't wait to meet her!

Other than new babies we've been busy getting into the routine of school plus extra-curricular stuff. Aidan started Beavers this week and when he got home from the meeting he was just wiped out! But he really enjoyed it.

Here are some recent pics:



I had a classic "Mommy" moment the other day. I was driving from work to pick the kids up from school and daycare. It was a long day, and I was pretty much zoned out in the car (which is a nice change because usually I have three kids singing, talking or monkeying around when I'm in the car!). Suddenly I hear "hi-yah!" I just about jumped out of my skin because there was no one else in the car with me. After calming down, I realized that one of the kids toys had fallen off their car seat, and the jolt had started the damn thing talking. So, for the next 10 minutes I was listening to a bloody McDonald's Kung-fu Panda toy jabber away. So much for peace and quiet!
