Enjoying our little bundle

I can hardly believe Maddie is 6 months old. I am joyfully enjoying a year of maternity leave and experiencing the rich developmental moments and smiles by the bundle. If you need career consulting, a treatment, an event manager, researcher, writer or production manager meantime, feel free to be in touch – time is flying and I’ll be filling in the schedule in no time!

Beauty in the small things

As life has slowed and quickens at alarming paces, my eyeballs seem to be doing their own things – noticing things with such revelation (or maybe that is the lack of sleep, ha!). In any case, this post from happymundane.com is what we are enjoying today.

 

Things have changed around here…

Dearest Family and Friends, as many of you already know, things have been changing around here. John and Deanne’s collaboration on the nine-month 2010-2011 production Baby has finally premiered!

After writing and rewriting (birth checklists), weekend rehearsals with other creative artists (birth classes), and magical days of location shooting (ultrasounds), we are pleased to announce that the star of our production is a last ready to be revealed…

Mathilda Moon Esdale Meadows aired in the wee hours of a very lucky Friday May 13, 2011. Weighing in at a feisty 8 lbs 9 ounces, Mathilda charmed the opening night crowd (midwife, medical and birth team, mama and papa) with her dazzling blue eyes, heart-shaped lips and cheruby cheeks. Attendees were also impressed with her swaddling high kicks, her latching stamina and an immediate and loving bond with her new family. Mathilda was named on this month’s full moon. We can’t wait to share her with all of you!

All our love.

John, Deanne, Mathilda and Jackson

 

“We Make Things”

A mini documentary by Ryan Varga, featuring Kate Hartman, one of my inspiring mentors at the Banff Centre New Media residency. She and others talk of the makers way, “technosapiens” and making friends with tech.

Due for release any day now!

I haven’t posted in a while – it’s been an incubating time! Here: a couple of lovely shots of the baby belly, one of the latest projects…(photo credit to Tamara McGill at lamaphotography)
