Mommies of the world, I encourage you all the get those cameras out and snap away!!!! My Mother in law passed away recently and while we are preparing for her funeral we are gathering photos of her for the service. Hmmmm....where are all those photos?????? For the record I am a lover of photography, I have hundreds and hundreds of pictures of my babies, but apart from that I really don't take photos of anyone else. Not even people with the babies. We must do better than this. There are not … [Read more...]

I have been fortunate lately to have had a few different opportunities to spend some one on one time with my two little guys. Parents with one child, will not understand this. Maybe even parents of two will still have a hard time grasping this. But when you have more than two kids, one on one time is precious and rare. I remember the two years I had with Big Brother before the Middle Man made his appearance, I took him everywhere with me, all of the time, we played, we painted, we swam, we … [Read more...]

Thanks to those of you who read and responded to my first post of The Middle Place, which was about my dad. Today it's about my mother in law who I have mentioned in a few previous posts. She has been in the hospital since early October and while she was starting to do really well, has taken a turn for the worse over the weekend and is on a steady decline. It makes me feel really old to think we are going through this right now. I really didn't imagine having to lose a parent for many years to … [Read more...]

This past weekend for us Canadians was a long weekend, due to Family Day being yesterday. It's a new holiday they just came up with about 3 years ago, apparently going from Christmas to Easter was just too long of a wait for a long weekend- and who can argue with that!!! And so began Family Day, which is nothing more than an excuse for a long weekend to spend with your family! lolMy parents came up this weekend for a visit, they only come about once or twice a year (except last year because … [Read more...]
