Forward facing

H can now ride in the mama kangaroo facing forward. It's rocking her world.

Loyalist Lodge

On our epic drive to Pittsburgh via the Canadian Consulate in Detroit (where we turned in our work permits for permanent residency), we stumbled upon loyalists ...

A loyalist parkway -

(photo borrowed ...
we have learned - don't stop the car to take a photo when the baby is sleeping)

A section of highway maintained by loyalists - no photo.

And, a loyalist lodge -


At first we believed this to be the Canadian equivalent of the VFW... but it's not. Just a hotel chain that serves as a proud reminder of an important group of colonists to Canada. A group which we have official joined. Sort of gives one pause...

Peak-a-boo

It's been a little cold out again. On our Sunday walk, H started out in her stroller, but couldn't see enough of the world around her. She opted for being carried all snug in her new blanket.

Three and a Half Months

We are three and a half months into this. What, you ask, do I think of the latest addition to our family?


I am wondering when we will sleep again.

Oh no we didn't...

Actually, they did. But we do like it. (:
