Just A Little Bit of Parenting Advice







Dave, Markus and I had dinner with the Kempers last night, which was really nice. We have decided that it is essential that we actually venture out of the house on week nights on a regular basis. Why? Basically to retain some semblance of normalcy outside of family life. It makes us feel a little bit more like people rather than simply parents. Mind you, there is a lot of running around chasing toddlers and borderline mortifyingly embarassing entertaining (see photos), but it's still good. Our little golden nugget advice for the day is bring a portable DVD player with some of your little one's favorite shows and it might buy you a few more minutes to enjoy your meal...maybe :)



Welcome Baby Luca Van!!


Luca Van Palaitis has been a part of our crazy world for a week now. Amazing!! He's absolutely gorgeous, just like his big brother, Deville (and mamma Karen!).

Ummmm...this one is just really cute :)


I cut his bangs myself - you like?

Wednesday Morning Ritual


Every morning after our weekly Romparoo session, various very hungry members of the CSP crew convene at the Frozen Monkey for some seriously tastey eggs (or paninis or salads, depending on the day). The waitress tends to be eternally patient with the kids (and the mommies!) and normally there aren't many patrons at 10:30. When there have been, they are usually enamoured by the kids...how couldn't you be?
