Don’t you hate it when you go out and someone is wearing the same outfit as you?
It’s worse when they look better wearing it too!

I don’t know if people usually get presents for the Victoria Day weekend, but Mel and I did; Quinn’s home and resting on my chest as I type this. We’re having baby/daddy computer time.
Orange Crush
I love Orange pop with my Pizza – Brio or a Coke are okay too, but nothing quite goes with a strip of “Za” like a cool can of Orange Crush or C-Plus. Does anyone else have a favourite drink to have with something they eat? I know for Brad it’s beer Cherry Coke, or for Attila it’s beer, but maybe you like Milk, or Juice, or something I don’t even know about.
Of course we all know what Quinn likes to drink ;D

Magnolia
So yesterday’s and today’s post aren’t the result of any photoshop Voodoo but the experimental wanderings of me and my new Lensbaby only fitting that I get a few new babies in, roughly, the same month.
This one is shot at the shallowest DOF f/2.8 and it’s pretty soft as well as one of my first shots with the lens. I’ve seen some pretty decent, much subtler stuff done with it, but I think it’s the extreme amount of blur and messing around the central focus of the subject that I enjoy most. It’ll take a lot more getting used to for sure, but for now it’s a great way to look at all the old things in a new way.
A quick link to an album I created with a few more flower shots from the other day

Month of May
Okay, so let me see if I can give everyone an update via the blog (if anyone still visits this).
April – Moved to Ottawa, basically right into the Hospital, Mel was admitted on a Friday, and the following Friday Quinn was born (to thunderous applause).
The Monday after Quinn fell out I started work at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation; a fine group of people (of which I am one) trying to do the right thing for Cancer patients and survivors in Eastern Ontario. The most noticeable change for me is a 30 minute walk to work instead of a 2 hour commute on the TTC – and a smaller group where I’m the one with expertise (who knew!?)
Quinn being a Preemie (30 weeks 2 days) is to stay in the hospital until he’s doing well enough; which he mostly has been – we may get him home in as early as ten days!
Through all of this we got a new/old house – with lots of work needed. Despite being newly renovated a lot of the renovation was half-assed and we do lack certain pieces of key furniture (bed, couch, Dining table, Big Screen TV*). Neither of us drive, and we do spend every day with Quinn, so it’s a bit of juggling to get things done, but we’re managing with very few setbacks.
Leave me a comment or drop me an E-mail, I’ll get back to everyone in time, but my focus is, of course, the family.
*Just kidding Mel!
