Daria’s Life

Last week was Brigs long awaited Tonsil and Adenoid removal surgery date. He was very brave for the most part and came through the surgery really well. It’s taken a bit longer for him to bounce back than his older brother Joshua, but Joshy was lucky enough to be able to have the new Coblation […]

There are many moments that my kids just shine and I completely gush over how wonderful they are. This is not really one of those stories, but begs to be told!
Yesterday was Joshua’s end of the year class picnic at a lake near the school. Brigs and I ran over to meet up with […]

Yesterday Brigs was in the van after school and out of the blue said. “Mommy you know, you named me Brigs Conor”
I said yes and he said “I want you to call me Brigs Conor!”. So for those who know Brigs, please adjust the way you address him now and call him “Brigs Conor” […]

Last night I was excited to share the Lunar Eclipse with our children. Once it had started, I asked Brigs to hurry downstairs to tell his brothers “we’re going to see the eclipse!”
But in his sweet 5 year old nature what he heard and communicated to the boys excitedly was “Dylan, Josh - We’re […]

Happy Halloween! I wanted to share the cutest Spiderman I ever did see. Brigs was so excited to get to school wearing his Spiderman costume (he’s been sleeping in it for the past 4 nights!). The boy was just over the moon to finally wake up and wear it to show his friends. All […]

Brigs quote of the day :
“Mommy, what are those cracking things around your eyes???”

I walked downstairs to find Brigs had unpacked a box with all the parts of our old ceiling fan. I quickly made him help me clean it up and put everything back, while telling him that he couldn’t do that because it was a box I needed.
He sweetly looks at me and says “But […]

Today was the BIG day for Brigs - his first morning of Kindergarten, and a whole new world opening up for him. What a treat to have a little guy so excited at the wonder of what school would bring. He awoke with a smile on his face and ran for his backpack […]

On the way home from Nathan’s parents home tonight the interchange between Brigs and Joshua was truly hilarious to me. I love driving with my kids because some of their funniest moments happen when they’re chattering away in the car.
This was the conversation on the way home:
Joshua- “Oh wow! Look a police man! I […]

I did it! Applaud me now people. I got the info on Brigs registration for Kindergarten this fall. Can he possibly be that age already? I have visions of Joshy and Brigs sitting happily together on the bus to school and meeting up on the playground. At home they’re pretty much attached at the hip, […]
