A new record
Cache currently holds the Gaby record for “Earliest crawler.” He has been threatening to do this for a few weeks now and this weekend he figured it all out. We don’t really know how we feel about it…but he sure is cute!

A Happy Birthday Boy
My 2 year old turned 3. I will lament about time flying by too quickly some other time. He had the best darn DINOSAUR Party ever! Just ask him he’ll tell you ALL about it. Coming off the sugar high was difficult. This morning when he woke up he came out of his room with a baffled look on his face. When I asked what was the matter he said “Well MOOOOM where’d all my presents go?!”
There were lots of friends and LOTS of family here to celebrate:
A new blanket made w/ love by Aunt Sa-Sa and Grandma. A perfect union of the two things Harm loves most: Dinosaurs and silky blankets. He slept quite soundly with it last night.
Annnnnd another lovely cake brought to you by Ben, and to Harm’s credit he only attacked it twice, once with his fingers and once with a toy dinosaur.

Ode to Miller…Over and Out
OH MAN those were the best 3 periods plus 7 minutes and 57 seconds of over time OF MY LIFE!!! If you watched that game I LOVE YOU, you are my new best friend. That good people who read this blog, was what HOCKEY is all about. Hard hitting, LOTS of mix ups and can we just have a moment of silence for the game’s MVP goalie Ryan Miller. Who looked like this A LOT tonight:
I give these guys 2 great big thumbs up for playing an amazing game. I am sure at some point it will sink in that they won a silver medal, even though while they were handing them out they looked like they were attending a funeral. It stings a little to loose like that, especially to their arch rivals due north.
I am saddened that it has all come to an end. We will have to go back to boring nights of phase 10 and Candy Land…bummer. In parting I’d like to leave you with a funny little good bye clip starring my guy Bob Costas (does anyone know what his gig is between Olympic seasons?) and Jimmy Fallon. Click HERE it will make you laugh, I promise…come on would I lie to you? I was right about Hockey wasn’t I? Next time any of you are heading to Calgary, give me a shout, I’ll take you on over to the Saddle dome and we’ll take in a Flames game, my treat. Over and Out.

The Need for SPEED
Here is how my morning went: Wake up, wake boys up, boys begin to SCREAM no one wants to be awake, no one wants to be dressed, or fed or get in the car for that matter. Screaming ensues all the way to the babysitters. Silence the moment we walk in her door they are blissfully happy as I walk out the door. Enter my office. Seat my first patient…turn on the TV for him, the first words out of his mouth I kid you not “I HATE the Olympics!” ***I think to myself “WHY DID I EVEN GET OUT OF BED?!!!*** I didn’t try to sway his opinion (Hate is a very strong word) but I did tell him how I was a nervous wreck last night as I watched Speedy Peterson (AKA The Olympic Stud of the Day) pull this off last night:
My mom has a name for individuals like this… MORE GUTS THAN BRAINS people . I could think of a few of you who would really thrive at the winter Olympics by the way. I won’t name names, you know who you are. I think we should rename the Winter Olympics: the NEED FOR SPEED, ADRENALINE RUSH Olympics instead…just a random thought. Bode, Lindsey, Princess Mancuso, Apollo, Speedy…all speed freaks, every single last one of them has made my heart just about STOP at some point over the last 2 weeks!
The sad part is I just keep watching! (With one hand over my eyes) but still I’m hooked! And it’s not over! Apollo and Vonn are back up tonight!
This just in: My boys just finished DEMOLISHING Finland 6-1. SUNDAY NIGHT HERE WE COME! This is so amazing! I may just get to watch a USA vs. O CANADA REMATCH!! Be still my heart!!

Can’t Be Bothered…
I’m sorry I can’t come to the blog right now… I’m paying CLOSE attention to the US of A vs. O CANADA hockey game. Yes the game I have been anticipating for many many moons now. Yes the game where I was going to get to watch my boy Iggy play again! This fetish I have with Hockey needs some explaining, I know. See one day a few years ago I moved to O Canada. I was your typical US of A-er. I didn’t believe in Hockey, donairs, or using the phrase “Come again” Typical.
Then one day a few years and some plus days ago I went to my first ever, real live Calgary Flames Hockey game. Located here at the Pengrowth Saddledome in Calgary.
2 words…A-MAZING! Since that day I have been known to scream things like “HIT EM HARDER!” “NICE POWER PLAY LADIES”and “Sweet save KIPPY!” It’s true. I now know what things like “shots on goal” and “hat trick” mean. I do enjoy a good old hockey mix up. So ya I have been waiting with MUCH anticipation for this game to be on T.V. You can imagine my deep dispair when I found out just today I with my meer 7 digital channels would not be able to watch this event live. So here I pathetically sit…refreshing this site. There is no screaming, there is no watching Iggy or Team USA…I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out of bed tomorrow. It’s O Canada -2 USA-4 perhaps I will be able to get up…HIT EM HARDER BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!
