We hope to keep all of our cross-provincial friends, and those abroad, updated with this blog. And maybe even hear from some who are long lost friends.

keeping busy

Nadia and Colin play so well together, sometimes. And I caught a moment to prove it. I'm not entirely sure what they were doing but it sounded funny.

While Colin naps Nadia is allowed to play with her strawberry shortcake and my little pony stuff. And my are they tiny. I can barely pick them up. Nadia loves it and set up 2 different parties around 2 tables. And only 1 thing has gone down the cold air return. Don't stress....we got it out.

Nadia loves to go shovel the driveway with Daddy. She ran out the door, across the deck and into the pile of snow we've made.

Of course, eating snow!

Getting the snow off the slide. They were out for about an hour, and Daddy had to drag her inside. She brought me a gift...a plant, in the form of 2 sticks. Which Colin had a blast with, whacking everything.

Okay, so there were two confusing points to your last post...are you guys actually expecting? And who said anything about TWO babies for us ?? ;)

I'm still concerned about the two cuties part :)...

Annalisa, I always thought my pedantism ran on the Heise side, but apparently it's from the Schulz side! (IOW, I would have asked the same thing. . .)

I think I better set things straight! Congratulations to Andrea who is expecting 1 baby and when said baby arrives will then have 2 cutie kids. We are NOT expecting. And the really concerning part about this whole thing is that Dennis goes around using the word pedant! I had to look that up! I think I'm offended, just kidding! The only question remaining is what is IOW? I'm not good at cyber short hand!

You guys crack me up! :)

Okay, so now I have a record to set straight, apparently. This is our first baby (unless you count my 'babies' of the canine variety:))...

Sometimes our modern day society's aversion to the use of the telephone sure gets us into trouble, eh???

Okay...hold the phone! I think the confusion is that I think you're a different Andrea B. Which B is this?

Cracking is what we do best!

As for IOW, that's internet slang for "in other words". My bad for assuming this is more well used than it perhaps is. But please don't be offended by the implication of being pedantic; I'm a self-avowed pedant, and it's really not as bad as it's made out to be.

Regarding confusion caused by internet slang, we recently had a client send us a technical clarification wherein they used 'I/O', which in our industry typically means 'inlet/outlet'. But they used it to mean 'instead of', which completely changed the meaning of the clarification and caused major confusion.

And finally, congratulations to whomever is expecting how ever many children!

We can get it to 16 comments, for Jen!

That was a very funny conversation. Confusion, more confusion and a little more confusion.

As for the post, I love reading how you are all doing and how cute your kids are being. Take care, oh and see you tomorrow (Sunday) I hear.
