  • Mom, we’re hottttt

    Mom, we’re hottttt

    We headed out first thing this morning, well it was actually 9:30 but that’s about as close to first thing as we can manage with Charlie. How am I going to get this child to school in the fall? Anyway, we were cashing in the second of the kids Christmas…

  • Monday Funday

    Today was a great day. We started the morning slowly. Everyone got up, got their breakfast, and did their own thing for a while. The kids played together inside and out while Nora napped. Charlie is finally over his jet lag and change of routine and is back to his…

  • The Bags are Packed

    We are currently on the road to Moncton to catch the first of three flights that will bring us to Cape Town. Two of the three kids are sleeping in the backseat. The first twenty minutes of this 40 hour (!) journey are going perfectly. This is the first big…
