Those Baby Blues….

I am currently in Ottawa now with my husband’s family and trying to catch up a on a few things. Including some pictures I took of Josh’s cousin, Jason, his wife and their adorable 4 month old in their home. We had the opportunity to stay with them for a few nights and it was marvelous getting to know the both of them better ~ the last time I had met either of them was 5 years ago at our Ottawa wedding reception. But this time, we both had little ones which was so much fun!

It was also very interesting talking to Jason about his work and adventures in working for himself as a mediator. The first time I heard about mediation services was a few years ago and I love the concept as an alternative to other methods of dealing with conflict out there, like say, hiring a lawyer. If you would like to learn more about what Jason does or mediation in general, you can go to his site, Absolution Mediation.

Their little guy was so cute and well, I think it’s quite obvious. And here he is!



  • Marg Mantel: I am the proud Beppe (Frisian for grandmother) of this beautiful little guy. Absolutely LOVE the pictures you took and would LOVE to have some prints of them, so if you could get back to me about that, that would be great. Thank you so much for sharing them on your blog.
