valerie-in-mid-life: More NYC
http://valerie-in-mid-life.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-nyc.html
Tuesday, September 6, 2011. As I mentioned - the best part of the trip was watching the interplay between mom and Carson. Neither one had been to NYC before and I was thrilled to be able to show them around and discover new areas with them. More than once, I felt like the personal tour guide to two long-lost bff's, eager to explore the big city. My favourite memories are of the two of them giggling uncontrollably in the bathroom as Carson shaped mom's eyebrows and applied eye makeup. The three of us neve...

Tuesday, June 21, 2011. In between purging and packing (not enough of the former and too much of the latter), we have been:. Downtown to see Glee,. Enjoyed a fabulous post-show dinner (thank you Andrew). And watched the world go by. I spent a day at Leah's track and field meet (and I'm watching her compete at another one today). Acted as MC for an all-staff meeting held at the Bell Lightbox (if you love movies, you have to go there). Father's Day brunch was a lot of fun. Happy first day of summer! Well, ...

On the way home, he wanted to know where he would sleep in his bunkmate's absence. It sort of freaks me out," he responded.

valerie-in-mid-life: February 2011
http://valerie-in-mid-life.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. To date, I have gone through life with not much of a plan, making mistakes as I go, and grateful to land butter-side-up when I make the inevitable and spectacular falls. Serendipity and goodwill, more than a personal vision and strategy, have been my guides. I may not have known where I was going, but I always knew that I wanted to have a big family and I knew that my first born would be a girl. How we managed to raise two other girls during this time still amazes me. Family Da...

Saturday, January 29, 2011. Sydney met the rest of her cousins today. Well, she was in the presence of her cousins today - she didn't seem to muster up enough energy to open her eyes. That didn't stop our gang from falling in love at first sight. I'm sure Sydney will be impressed soon. Day 5 with 2 daughters and Adam seems to have everything in hand. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Syd the Newest Kid and the Miracle of Modern Communication. Monday January 24, 2011. BBM [Text messages] with Evann and Carson.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011. New place, new ways of doing things. We are slowing finding room for all our stuff. Still unpacked are several boxes of photo albums and several boxes of books and cookbooks and cooking magazines. And a few containers of toiletries. Honestly - why do we think we need all that stuff? Leah has only spent two days at the new place - as soon as she returned from New Brunswick, she was whisked away to the cottage where she has been having a blast with her cousins; beating them at War a...

Sunday, January 1, 2012. The End of an Era. I have set up a new blog - Valerie-in-Midlife 2.0. Or on the bar on the side to access it. 2011 marked a turning point in my life and in the lives of the people I love and write about. I wanted to acknowledge that change. One thing that hasn't changed - I am consistently inconsistent! Thank you for support, comments and patience. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The End of an Era. These family members really know how to blog. Aunt Marilee in Newfoundland.

Monday, May 9, 2011. Finally a beautiful sunny and warm weekend. The usual busy one as well. Sunday was filled with lots of fun. In the morning we met mom and dad and Adam and Yvonne and kids at the Royal Botanical Gardens. We had hoped to walk through the rock garden but seems us early birds were an hour too early to enter the grounds. Instead we enjoyed a walk along the marsh. And what did Evann and Leah find the most fascinating? And just hung around the car a bit. My oh my, that was a fun way to cap ...
