I wasn’t going to participate in Project Looking Through (Mark Will’s photo project… basically, everyone is posting images where we’re looking through something), but I came across this view and I couldn’t pass it up. So here’s my little contribution below.

There was a theme this week for the Gélinas children. And not a cutesie one.

Orléane

I turned two months this week,
I had my shots,
and I went 9 days without pooping,
like the perfect little rose petal that I am.

Xavier

I turned my stomach this week,
but just the once,
and I went through 9 very uncomfortable diapers.
They called it a stomach flu.

I call it: Missing my milk.

Snow is at its ugliest right now. Crunchy, peppered, oozing lakes of dirty water…

It’s also going away. Which is the best thing about this white, brown and grey time of year.

Xavier and I went out to play this morning: he finally decided to help out with the shoveling (about time!). It was great fun.
