Elina’s got a pair of Crocs – those comfy, foamy soft comfortable hot pink (fushia) pair of sandles to fit her cute little feet! (its the smallest size). Tonight she went to bed with them on her feet!! I’ll post an update on when she actually takes them off!
Ok, now that I’ve become alot more comfortable “scooting” throughout the neighbourhood and the city, I can’t – because its raining and apparently scooting becomes a whole new ball of something-or-other when it gets wet, so until I learn how to manage the rain – its parked (& locked) at home!. I am still working [...]

I pick up my Piaggio Typhoon tomorrow afternoon from Motoretta (on Dundas). Piaggio is the Italian makes of the more popular Vespas (about $3000 more!) After much too much thought I decided to start small (50 cc’s) and see how things go.
I passed my M1 (graduated licencing with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation) this permit [...]
Ok…the testing two’s have officially began. She’s been slowly and slowly asking more and more of us as we put her to bed. Tonight as the title says, after our entire usually nightly routine, from her bedroom, she’s lying on the floor, with her little lips pushing through the space between the door and the [...]

We took Herman to Beachers Cafe on Queen St. for breakfast with Dean/Gus and [...]

taking the dishes back to the [...]
