Something beautiful

I wish I'd known about this when Jeanne was first born, and I was making way more milk than I knew what to do with: The International Breast Milk Project + Time magazine's article on the Project

Some silly pics of life in Cotterville

Feel free to peruse our new clock feature at the top of the page (next to the Jeanne-o-metre). No, its not wrong, its just the time difference! Also, my little sister Sarah has just started a blog called "The Squid Cave" to keep in touch with her friends and family, so feel free to check it out here.

Here are some silly pics of our life here in Cotterville:

Remember the pic of our pumpkin and leaf-covered tree at Hallowe'en? Well, this is what it looked like after our last big storm.

Happy Birthdays!

Teaching Jeanne to crochet (maybe she's a little young)


Sarah was asking me how the cats (especially 'Purnicus) get along with Jeanne, so here you are...

Cute babies

Yeah, I know all I do these days is post pics instead of writing anything interesting, but Jeanne is just sooooo cute. But she's not the only one...

Autumn in Halifax

Med students, etc.

Hey all,

We've become involved in a programme run by Dalhousie University where we have med students come visit with us and Jeanne in order to become more familiar with infant development. After all, most med students don't have children, which means many don't have any experience around little babies. We had our first meeting just the other day with two young women training to become doctors and they had a fun time sitting around admiring our little darling. The funniest thing was that one of the students was named Jean Marie - how's that for a wierd coincidence?

Jeanne is growing bigger every day, it seems. She's just now figuring out how to use her hands, and she now rubs her eyes when she's tired and also puts her fist in her mouth when she can't find the sucky. She slept through the night for two nights in a row, just enough to make us totally spoiled, but now she's on a growth spurt and only sleeps a couple of hours at a time.

Here's a pic of her interacting with the 'other baby' in the mirror - I don't think she likes her very much! When Grandma Marie first showed me this outfit she'd bought, I couldn't imagine that Jeanne would ever be this big (I was thinking it would fit her when she was maybe 6 months or so!)
