sleep and snow, what else is there in my life to talk about right now?

I feel like I have a milion things to blog about since the holidays and yet… no blog posts. Why you might ask? Well, just sit right down and I will tell you all about my favorite thing in the whole world to talk about, ‘SLEEP”. So simple, yet so amazingly profound… he he. Most of the conversations I have with other moms with similar aged kids always revolves around sleep at some point or another. Either they are sleeping good, or they are not sleeping well or a mix, but always about sleep. I know this is just a stage and in about 5 months when I turn into the sleep enforcer everything will be different. But for now, my brain is on Will’s teething schedule, and that means it is fuzzy, foggy, cloudy, tired or whatever adjective you wish to describe it. So slowing down on the blog posts, but that is okay. My sister and I joke about it, after one of the kids had a bad night of waking up alot, we say, “Okay, that means he is either teething, going through a growth spurt, learning a new skill, is colicky, is sick, or is just waking up alot or any combination of the above or all of the above”. Trying to figure out why is like trying to answer a multiple choice question on my university psychology exams, every answers sounds like the right one!

Here is a shot of my little drooler in drooling action:

I ‘just’ figured out (after a year!) how to use my old old (1969) Nikkor Nikon lenses on the D40 (which I just sold by the way, but that is for a different post). This is taken with a manual focus 55mm nikkor micro f3.5 (the lens is from circa late 1960’s). Apparently nikon made a ton of these lens and they are pretty cheap. My grandpa left it to me and my mom after he passed away. Or maybe just my mom and I hijacked it? I am not sure…

And just incase you are not sick of hearing about it (though you haven’t heard it from me because I haven’t been blogging- too busy shovelling with the garden shovel ), we have had LOTS of snow here. Snow and snow and more snow. For Vancouver standards the city was pretty much was snowed it. All of our snowplows were hired out by Surrey, Burnaby and the surrounding areas… There were no snowshovels to be seen anywhere. Why? because our city officials are masochists? maybe. Or maybe they all live in Surrey! Ha. Anyways, we were all un-prepared for that debacle, but now the whole snow drama is past history, as the rains have come and we are all free to go grocery shopping to our hearts content. YIPEEE! Did I mention that we now are the proud owners of 2 snow shovels? My husband wrote a beautiful post about snow in the city here. We were joking this morning that we have never been so happy to see the rain. And that’s funny if you have lived in Vancouver!

This photo was taken with a nikon D40 and 28mm f2.8 nikkor (circa late 1960’s aswell).

Okay time to go and SLEEP!!! happy ZZZZZZZ’s to all of you!
