On Our Own Again
Kim left yesterday. It's so quiet and lonely without her here. I always wish she could stay longer. Of all places, she has to live in almost the exact antipode of Halifax.
I am tracking her flights. She had a long flight from Dulles to Tokyo yesterday. I watched the flight path, it went way up north over the Yukon and Alaska and the Bering Sea. She is just about to take off for her final leg from Singapore to Perth.
I was sick for the last week of her visit, which I am still mad about. Awful stomach bug. Luckily Dan only had a very mild version of it and no one else seemed to be affected. I didn't really get out of bed for 4 days. Bleh.
I'll leave you with a couple pictures from a few days ago. Auntie and Evan.

Back in Town
We're back from our trip to Ontario. It as fun but tiring with a baby and we are all glad to be back home.
Tuesday - We got up very early and caught our flight to Toronto. We rented a mini van, drove to Kingston and visited my Nana at my Uncle Don and Marg's house out on Louborough Lake. We left around 7:30 and went back to our hotel to sleep.
Wednesday - We met Don, Marg & Nana at a Chinese buffet for lunch. We were there for several hours and took lots of pictures.
That evening Dan, Evan and I went over to Shaun & Nickie's. Shaun was at work but we hung out with Nickie and Deena and had dinner and talked and played with the kids. It was so much fun to be around her again.
Thursday - Dan, Evan and I met Shaun, Nickie and Deena for breakfast in the hotel restaurant. It was really yummy. We talked for a long time and finally had to say goodbye to go check out. We drove back to Toronto and arrived around six p.m. Geoff arrived from Amsterdam just before we checked in to the hotel and he was already in the room across from us when we got there -- perfect. Evan fell asleep early as he hadn't napped since the early morning so mom stayed at the hotel with him while the rest of us went to Jack Astor's for dinner.
Friday - Dan, Evan, Kim, Geoff and I went to Yorkdale to shop while mom and dad went to some window and door store half an hour away. At 2:00 we met Chilina and Nicko for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. It was great to see them, I hadn't seen Nicko in a few years!
After lunch we went back to the hotel for awhile and then went to a Thai restaurant for dinner. After that it was back to the hotel for sleeeep.
Saturday - Our flight didn't leave until 7:45 p.m. so we had lots of time to kill. We had a leisurely morning and went back to Yorkdale to kill time. Kim & I had a lot of fun in Sephora, Gymboree (ok, it was mostly me that had fun there) and Juicy. We returned the rental van, checked in at the airport and got home no problems. The flight crew on the returning flight were so friendly and funny. I have never heard the "here is how to fasten your seatbealt and here are the emergency exits" speal done like that before. I wish I had a recording.
Anyway, I'll post pictures once I find our camera.

Evan and Kim

Almost Here!
After several weather related delays Kim's plane just took off from JFK and she should be here in a little over an hour. I'm so excited! I haven't seen her since September 2007. Too long! This will be the first time she has met Evan. (I was going to say her 'first nephew' but since Evan is both the first and the last it seemed a little redundant).
She has had a long trip; she was supposed to go from Cairo to London to Montreal to Halifax, however due to bad weather in London she was rerouted directly from Cairo to JFK. She was supposed to catch her JFK to Halifax flight last night but due to snow, freezing rain and strong winds from here down the Eastern seaboard her flight was canceled and rescheduled for today. And that is just her most recent travels; she has already gone from Australia to South Africa to Kenya to Tanzania to Egypt in less than two months. I don't know how she does it. I'm too much of a homebody.
Check back later for pictures!

First Time's a Charm
I realized it would be easier to keep everyone updated via a blog everyone can access rather than trying to email everyone individually, which is what I have been doing (not always very successfully, I might add). Why it took me so long to get around to this, I'm not sure. I'll do my best to keep it updated regularly though anyone who knows Evan knows he is not a little boy who leaves much time for...well, anything!
Here are a couple of Evan from a week or so ago just after his bath. My little ham & cheese!
