Back in Canada

Jordan — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:47:53 +0000

So, after a long day of travelling (which was preceded by long days of packing and parties), we’re now back in Canada. Lots to catch up on and many photos of our last week in London to share, but it will take a little time to get settled and everything sorted. In the meantime, just know that all is well and we’ll be in touch soon.

Cheers,
L, J & I

Planning, purging and packing…

Jordan — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:15:17 +0000

Two weeks to go and we’ll be on a plane back to Canada. And while we live in a pretty small place and have tried not to accumulate too much over our years here, it still seems as though there’s lots to do. At least we’ll have some help with most of the packing. It’s the organising and purging in advance that we’ll need to find the time to do…

Anyway, the weather has been beautiful these past few days and, while we’ll do some more London tourist-y things in our last few days, we took Isla down to the South Bank for a walk on Sunday. She was in a great mood and we took some fun pictures.

In the meantime, we hope to see many of you in London at our farewell party next Sunday at the Windsor; those of you in Toronto, hope to see you soon.

Holiday Fun

Jordan — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:48:21 +0000

It’s a rare year when Hanukkah and XMAS fall at the same time, and especially with my being off work and it being Isla’s first holiday season, we had lots of fun.

2008 XMAS + Hanukkah

We spent both XMAS Eve and Day with close friends – first with Darren and Tree (before she moved to the US to join the circus), then with the Baskin’s as we have done every year since we moved here.

Hanukkah was also fun, with Isla being mesmerised by the candles each night; more so as more candles got added each day. Some of our favourite pictures came last night when the whole menorah was lit.

Anyway, one week to go until I’m back at work and I’m expecting a few busy months before the move back home. In the meantime, however, there’s still New Year’s – so whatever you are doing, we hope you have a fantastic time.

More to come in 2009!

Happy Monthday Isla!

Today is Isla’s 1-month-day!

We’ve had Ziona, Norman and Pam here for much of the last month and today was our first full day after they had all left. It was great to have them around – both fun and really really helpful (really!) – but it is also nice to now be on our own.

We finally managed to consolidate all the photos from the various cameras we’ve had here the past few weeks and have put some of our favourites in these two types of slideshows.

The first is with Slide…

…the second is a YouTube video.

Not sure which works best, so let us know what you think and we’ll use that format from now on.

Anyway, aside from the next two light days at work, I’m off until January which is great.

In the meantime, not much to say – everyone is well and we’re just having a great time.
