These kids are all kinds of beautiful/crazy/funny/sweet, and I love getting to see how much they have both changed, and stayed the same, as the years go by…

“Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what.”

this american life | things I love

Welcome to a new category on the blog entitled “Things I Love”…which, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, are some random tidbits of things that make me happy.

The first item that deserves a post here is the amazing podcast “This American Life”. I am a very big fan of public radio documentaries, and listen to many of them while I’m editing at my computer or driving or washing the dishes. This is hands-down one of my absolute favourites. While yes, I am a Canadian. And like a good little Canadian I spend lots of time listening to the CBC too, this podcast is just sheer brilliance (and, it also airs Sunday nights at 11pm on CBC Radio One). I could listen to Ira Glass all. day. long. The stories that he and the other contributers tell of everyday people doing ordinary (and not-so-ordinary) things are a mishmash of funny, mundane, serious, quirky, cleverness that I look forward to every week. And you should too. Best enjoyed with a large mug of coffee in your hand, and a warm purring kitten on your lap…

“First we had each other…then we had you…now, we have everything.”
