First Things First

Sure a lot has happened since we've moved here but let's start with things that count. How about bread for instance. Take a look at this picture and you will figure out the real reason why we moved. All bakery items are fresh and in many cases still warm out of the oven. There is a bakery at every corner and prices are decent too. Ivor asks us to stop by every day after daycare. Just take a look at his face. Mia caught on extremely quickly too. We've stopped by this place twice. Third time we drove by she started giving me instructions where to turn and got really upset when I drove by. I couldn't believe that at two years old and in a new city she could learn where she is so quickly. There's no tricking those two.

Finally here

Here we are, finally getting started with a six week delay. I suppose better late than never, right? I wanted to start our family blog so it would be easier to keep up with and share with our many friends all over the world. It's a lot easier to share information this way anyway and we don't have to worry about overcrowding your e-mails with numerous pictures. I had these grand ideas about learning how to host my own blog and make my very own templates and have control over the whole thing... Those of you that know me well will nod their heads. Overachiever in me couldn't resist. It took six weeks for me to come to my senses, throw in the towel (I really don't have much free time) and decide to just use one of many free blogging services. I suppose it made sense. It only took 5 minutes to set up as opposed to hours it would have taken me otherwise.

I'll try to go back to my notes and fill in the blanks about things that happened over the last six weeks. That way our story is complete. I'll also dig up some pictures to document the events. Keep up with us and let us know what's new in your lives too. We've already heard some happy news about people getting engaged and new babies on the way. We love hearing about that.

Chris has also promised to contribute to the blog on a regular basis. His take on the events here is quite different from mine and I am sure that his posts will be interesting to read.

Talk to you all again soon...
