Parenting tip from experience #1:

If your newborn baby sleeps soundly from 5pm until midnight... you will not get him to sleep again until at least 3am.

Old business:

When Chrapko began work on the royalty panel, he went looking at that basic accounting data about provincial royalties. He was "horrified" to discover the Alberta energy department has no accurate records of how much royalty money is owing compared to how much is actually collected -- which means there's no way to find out if the department has collected the right amount over many years.

Hey Pam, if I wasn't clear at the Beckette's house, I am 90% sure I will go to the corn maze on the 29th.

Thanks

woo Matt and Keri! Congratulations!

and welcome to Earth, Little Nicholas!


I'd come over and say congrats in person, but I still have a cold, and I don't think the hitchhiking germs would be appreciated.

Thanks AD for passing on the info. Thanks Ed for letting the dogs out so they weren't locked up so long. We are indeed home, and do have in our possession one Nicholas Geoffrey Beckett. You are all welcome to drop by at your leisure if you wish, we would enjoy the company after being cooped up in a hospital room for 36 hours.

quick update, they've been discharged. If you want to see them, go to their house instead.

I have been asked to pass on the following information...

This morning at 2:59AM Keri gave birth to one Nicholas Jeffery(sp?) Beckett. He was born at 7 pounds 4 ounces and apparently quite healthy (he's a shreeker)! They are at the Grey Nuns in room 3311 and are asking me to pass on that all who are wanting to come and oggle their baby are welcome.

Hello All

In leiu of the rain at Paras party- the corn maze was a no go - I talked to soem that night and people still wanted to go and try it . . . . So . . . .

Saturday, September 29th
4:30pm
Edmonton Corn Maze- West of the City of Garden Valley Road.

Let me know who wants to go- if we have a big enough group we get a discount.
Thanks!!!

It is my fault and it isn't my fault

I can't actually say that the forty boobed woman was my idea, it was though my idea that in order to stop all wars, all we have to do is drop hot cheerleaders on the battlefield, this lead to the idea that instead of dropping 20 cheerleaders, it would be more economical to drop one forty boobed woman on the battlefield... that little doozy was percy's idea.

I do have to say though P, we do come up with some world changing ideas!
