    We left Whistler in plenty of time to drive right onto the ferry. It was in fact the one before our planned one to catch. Pretty good we thought since we had to stop a couple times because Quince was too unhappy. His cries coming down the mountain seemed to be timed when Richard and…

    During our holiday visit to Victoria last year we learned that my cousin was planning his wedding for this summer up in Whistler. “Of course, we will go!” we said. We booked a room for two nights at the hotel they arranged special pricing with – Crystal Lodge. It was a nice place, but the…

    Worse than no summer at all is… Having a fever and stuck in bed when it’s the nicest week all summer long! It’s been many years since I had a fever and honestly I didn’t know what to do about it. I don’t even notice I had one until Thursday night. I thought maybe I…

    Quince is now 3 months old and wow, have these last two months flown by! Over the course of these last couple months we have come up with a couple different nicknames for Quince. Most often he is called Qwiggles, sometimes Barf Master Q or just plain Q while typing. He is now 12 pounds,…

    They aren’t the ones you can earn in WoW even! Richard and I are really happy with how Quince is doing. He’s continuing to impress us with his patience and general behavior. The week of the 19th, we were at the hospital lab again for another phenobarb blood draw. His is making quick friends with…

    Everyone has been asking “what’s the total?”, and currently we don’t yet know. However, we do have some of the bills in and each week brings a new one or changed one reflecting renegotiated amounts between our insurance company and the one who provided the services. Richard and I have decided to give you a…

    We have reached quite the milestone this past few weeks. Our favorite one so far? Being home longer than being in the hospital! When Quince hit 7 weeks old, we had been officially home longer. Yay! As of today, he is now 2 months old and doing well. Yesterday we spend the day in Seattle…

    This posting documents our 3 week stay in Swedish Hospital in Seattle following Quince’s birth. I realize that the tense is odd you as read it, switching from present to past, this is because parts were written as it happened and others I filled in as I put all the notes together. After having a…
