New Age

I'm so far behind. I don't even have time to put away laundry - we've just been taking clean stuff from the baskets and throwing that on in the mornings - so I certainly don't have time to be blogging. I never realized how much I use the computer on a daily basis until it was gone.

I find inspiration for recipes on here (did you know that Kraft Canada has a terrific website full of gnarly-good stuff?), do all our banking, find curriculum ideas on weekly themes for the childcare business I have; so much that I was actually kind of lost for the 8 days we didn't have the computer. I must say, though, the house sure was clean! And all the laundry was washed, folded and put away! I've wondered lately how women 100 years ago had so many kids, kept their houses pristine, had dinner on the table every night, and worked in the fields... they didn't have a computer! Well, that, and they lived in a much different time where weekly playdates weren't organized off-site with other Mums, full-time secular employment was unheard of, and most families had at least one older child who helped look after the young ones when Mum was busy.

Okay, now that I've gone on about pretty much nothing, I will get to the task at hand. We had some family photos taken about a month ago now (it took a couple of weeks to get the CD from the photographer and then the computer died...) and I've been itching to share some with you all. (Should that be y'all?)

Unfortunately the photographer wasn't able to get any of just Kyle by himself because he was busy stuffing his face with my breast. The whole photo session lasted a couple of hours because it included Craig's parents and his 2 sisters with their families. By the time our family was done, Kyle was frantic to eat so I snuck away to the van and fed him in there. In this case, a bottle would have been far more convenient.
