You may already that know Kelly had quite a time bringing Taylor into the world, it was a long haul and I would have given up hours before had it been down to me; but Kelly pushed on and now we have a fantastic little girl to yell if we don't get her diaper changed quick enough. A good friend once told me that babies are made to look so cute to us intentionally so we will put up with all the crazy things they demand.

Kelly and Taylor are both home now and resting happily.

We are so excited to have Taylor home we are bursting thinking of everything we want to do with her, I know three days old is too young for tobogganing but I have to admit that was my first thought when I saw snow falling the day after Taylor was born.

It was at Womens College Hospital in Toronto that Taylor was born, Kelly and I agreed that there was very little anyone could have done to make the experience any better than it was. This hospital, for those who have never been, is a little older than you may expect and even seems a bit out of date. It could be used as a set in the remake of Clockwork Orange.This hospital is a testament to what an impact quality and competent people can make, with the drab conditions in Womens College Hospital. It was the nurses, doctors, support staff and everyone, even the cleaners, who make this place first rate. So many people owe the birth of their child to these folks and we are now among them and feeling very lucky to have been there.
