Hola Barcelona

Our first trip aboard not to see family took us to Spain. Jellybean helped with the trip planning of the sights we would visit and things we would see.

With great excitement she watched the world fly by

We took a "Hop-On Hop-Off" bus to see most of the system, the three of us even road on the top! [It was fun trying to stop Jellybean from pulling on the headphone cables.]

High lights Sagrada Familia and Park Güell by Antoni Gaudí.

Another family first, we all put our feet in the Martian Ocean.

Great time had by all.

Mothering Sunday in England

In England Mother's day coming at the end of March and not in May like Canada, so we thought we would join in on the fun while in England.

HAPPY MOTHERING SUNDAY!

With Love

Our first Valentines day as a family was full of much love.

Hope you all had a good one.

44 oz any one?

One thing Stephannie missed since the move to England is a little drive-thru coffee shop in the USA called Big Foot, they  make a great dairy free chai latte. Given paper work issues we were not able to travel to the USA, but her father said he would pick her up a latte when he went to get gas. Stephannie came home to find a 44 oz chai latte! (It took her three days to drink it)

Merry Christmas

This early morning photo says it all...may you enjoy Christmas like it was your first. May it be full of awe and wonder like the lights on a tree.

Aria's First Day and Snow Day in Canada

We woke up early given we were all still on Cambridge time, so we thought we would enjoy the Canadian winter wonderland.

How we have missed the snow, and hope that there will be more  of it while we are here to enjoy. Going to walk to the local coffee shop and test out Aria's new stroller and rain/snow cover. Thanks to family for the early Christmas gift.

Our bags are packed...here we come Canada

Here are some time photos from our very long trip to Canada for Chirstmas.

Stephannie and Aria ready for the first of two train trips, surprisingly the suitcase worked ok to help move Aria around, but both hands were on the car seat.

The girls waiting for the second train which only stops for 90 seconds, to let people on and off. We did with just a little bit of luck get all the things and us on the train before the doors closed.

 Brendan and Aria on the second train, Aria was having fun looking at everything going flying by.

Dee Dee, Aria's toy dragon was taking part in air plane safety.


Multi-tasking? Aria is in a  Flyebaby  hammock, which allowed us to watch a movie and spend some face to face time with Aria.
