Posted on January 16, 2013 by Mike

When this year started, I noticed that the drive into work wasn’t as tough or congested as it had been in the previous month.  At first, I thought that perhaps folks were still on vacation but seeing as we’re in … Continue reading →

Posted on July 17, 2012 by Mike

The kids’ soccer season has been a little bizarre this year.  Where Kyle (being in U7) only plays once a week, Charlize (in U5) plays twice a week.  Actually, now that I write it out like this, I realize that … Continue reading →

Casey had been acting extremely lethargic ever since the weekend.  Absolutely no appetite, sleeping most of the time, just no energy to do anything.  I could get her to come to me for a quick hello (which everyone else had … Continue reading →

The Curse of Age

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Mike

I went to visit my parents yesterday morning. My dad’s last appointment with his eye doc last week did not go well at all. He’s lost even more of his vision and the surgery couldn’t correct it. There doesn’t seem … Continue reading →

The Grey’s Anatomy premiere is this week. What with getting the last season on DVD last week, we’ve been going through a mini-marathon in order to get ready for it. Not that we don’t remember what happened, but more as … Continue reading →

Posted on June 17, 2009 by Mike

Today’s checkup for Charlize went better than we could have imagined! We got to our appointment on time at 830am and got out by 11am. In between, our little girl was weighed, measured, blood pressure checked, and then off to … Continue reading →

Tomorrow morning, after dropping Kyle off at Daycare, Chantale and I are taking Charlize to the Montreal Children’s Hospital for her follow-up visit. We’ll go through (I’m pretty sure) of the regular tests (echo, maybe xray) and learn how her … Continue reading →
