As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.

The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.

When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.

It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.

Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.

As always, thanks for your patience.

Hmmmmmm....you taste kinda good....

Sooooooo-oooo....

Okay....we can let her stay....

This year for Thanksgiving we headed south to Tsawwassen again.  Since my sister's wedding was the following weekend, also in the lower mainland, we just stuck around for a lovely and relaxing week there.

 A highlight included a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium.  We figured it would be a hit after Jonas enjoyed the zoo in Calgary so much this summer.  And he did!  From belugas to frogs to jellyfish.  Great fun.

  

What have we been up to?

Sick again!  The last 2 weeks have seen the kids have various cold symptoms, usually cough and runny nose, just bad enough to feel like we can't go places where other kids congregate.  They have also had a slight fever occasionally; this actually prevented us from heading out to get a flu shot over a week ago.  Molly is also working on pushing through some molars, so that explains some of her general malaise. 

As well as being plagued with colds, I lost my voice for a couple of days this week.  This is a very frustrating occurrence when much of one's parenting skills counts upon verbal communication.  I felt like an very ineffective parent.

Other news:  We think we may have heard our first word from Molly: bath!   But it's hard to tell.  She chats a lot, but most of her communication happens when she points to what she wants.  Oh, and she shrieks.  She likes carrying toys around, hanging around her brother, riding in the stroller and cuddling with mom, mostly because mom has the lovely hair.

Jonas loves his cars and trucks, playing with his stickers and glue stick, gymnastics, macaroni and cheese, and hoarding his toys.  He does not like sharing with his little sister.  He's learning to do it anyway.

All for now!

   

  

It goes without saying....

I definitely disapprove....
