I know this is not a happy milestone, but a milestone nonetheless. Finn is sick for the first time in his life. It's a first for us as parents, too - caring for a little baby that sometimes sounds like an eighty year old smoker. Despite this, Finn still has his little happy face on, even when he hacks and sounds like one of his lungs is coming up with all that yummy mucus. We are hoping this will...

Once upon a time in 1999, Brandi-Lee and her friend Monica were in Foods class and had an assignment to make an apple pie. They worked hard at mixing and measuring the ingredients, however they must have had a little too much fun chattering and laughing because the pie was a disaster. That day Brandi-Lee refused to make pies henceforth. It was the first and the last.True story - I vowed never to make...

We had some very special guests fly in this weekend - Granny and Papa from Edmonton! This is Chris' stepdad and his wonderful and beautiful wife (perhaps one day I will do a Doucette family tree post, but for now just go with it and pretend you understand) It was only for one evening, but it was so worth it. We had some yummy chicken korma and homemade apple pie. We visited and they had the best time...

I was online today looking for songs to sing with babies/kids, since the only ones I remember are Christmas songs and B-I-N-G-O (gets old FAST). I came across www.bussongs.com and they had this neat,  slightly prejudice number: Ten Little Injuns. Check out the lyrics:Ten little "Injuns" standin' in a line,One toddled home and then there were nine;Nine little "Injuns" swingin' on a gate,One tumbled...

Yesterday was sunny and crisp, so I decided to take the little one for a walk. We walked to Starbucks. While he was sleeping I enjoyed a Caramel Brulee latte (which is sugar and milk and coffee in a cup - I recommend half sweet...my lips were sticky after!)Finn is saying 'hey'.  The day before also included a Starbucks run, this time with Jessica and Jenna. Aunty Jenna is starting him early with...

I just found the USB cable to our new 'diaper bag camera' (so I don't have to lug around the giant Nikon to get candid shots) so here are more photos from our Christmas in Osoyoos:Every year we get matching PJs. Here I am doing my Sears catalogue pose.If Finn looks warm, it's because I seriously think we was teething over the holidays. Hence, the rosy cheeks.  Us attempting a winter walk with...

Am I still a good mother if I don't do 'tummy time' with Finn every day? This is probably the second or third time I've put Finn on his stomach since he has been alive and I'm pleased to see that his neck is still strong. Whew.  Here are a few other recent pictures!  &nb...

For Christmas Chris got me a cookbook by Jamie Oliver called Jamie’sFood Revolution. His objective is to get people cooking ‘real food’ andto pass it on to friends and family and eventually get the wholecountry cooking real, healthier meals instead of popping a pizza in theoven or getting take-out. My resolution for 2010 is to cook bettermeals for my family and to actually have a clean house. Not...

December 2009 is Finn's first Christmas. We went to four grandparent's houses, and that didn't even cover all the grandparents. Christmas is going to be a crazy holiday in the Doucette household, and I hope our kids can keep up with the madness. (They don't really have a choice, actually) Finn has 12 grandparents, not counting great grandparents, all with a different name to remember. We'll see how...
