Check out Black Swede…(did you realize that abbreviated would be ‘BS’? hahaha)…there may be some Jaia cuteness posted there.

Kel Parsons - Shan, WHERE are you getting all those damned cute little hats? Do you make them yourself?

May 17, 2007 - 12:19 pm

Carole - So adorable!

That last one looks like a “whachoo talkin’ bout?” face. ;O)

May 17, 2007 - 2:38 pm

Shannen - My mom makes the hats. They are awesome. We are going to start selling them soon, so get your orders in now! 🙂

And Jaia gives us that “whachoo talkin’ bout?” face a lot. Apparently we aren’t very believable.

Kris - I LOVE the last photo! Priceless.

Can you hold cheese inside an RRSP?

Subsidized ethanol increases demand for corn, which is also used to feed dairy cows, which make cheese.

Funny things happen when the equilibrium of an economy is perturbed by governments picking winners …

Now that

Kel Parsons - Well, just remember the immortal economist John Maynard Keynes’ assertion when it comes to long-term projections, etc.: In the long run, we’re all dead.

Dave - To make matters worse, the US imposes a duty of $0.54 a gallon on ethanol imports from Brazil made from sugar cane as opposed to feed corn. Because the US and Canada use feed corn for ethanol, food and fuel prices are inflated while there is an excess of sugar cane which can’t be used for feed. Incidentally the energy yield conversion on sugar cane ia about 5:1; on corn it is about 1.5:1.

Government may be stupid but we chose every member of Congress and Parliament!

Day 133 – Photoshoot fun.

A friend in our weekly playgroup has an awesome photo studio set up in her basement.  We met at her place a couple of weeks ago and spent the afternoon taking pics of all the little ones…  Here are a few of my favourites:

Kel Parsons - Hey! That last shot is just like that Kodak banner from several years ago. Except more nudie!

Alicia - So absolutely adorable.

The second picture is my new favourite.

May 15, 2007 - 10:08 am

Carole - I second Alicia’s comment! What a sweetheart..:O)

May 15, 2007 - 10:25 am

Coline - Such a beautiful girl! I love the group shot too. This is the only way I get to see your little ones growing up.

May 15, 2007 - 10:41 am

Kel Parsons - Yes, that second one is a shot for the ages. Shan, make sure you get a good-quality print of this NOW, as this is one of the ones you’ll DEFINITELY want to pull out and flap in front of her friends’ faces when she’s a teenager and gives you lip.
