We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
It’s Hallowe’en! I LOVE Hallowe’en time. This month we’ve had fun food, decorated our house with Mickey Mouse pumpkins and votives and been celebrating what will be a not-so-scary Hallowe’en. Jensen has chosen his own costume that I’ve *cough* made (along with a matching one for his huge rubber rat and small collared versions for the…

Dear Hero, Merry Christmas, tiny one. How the time has flown by. I have to remind myself that you’re still a baby – and yet you’re so headstrong already. You’re the most contented little boy – feeding brilliantly, sleeping like no baby we’ve known, and bursting our hearts with your smile each time our eyes…
