Online...

So we're finally online!  Yippee!  The telecommunications guy braved the snow this afternoon to install the internet and the cable TV.

We've been in Canada for a week now and it sure has been a busy (exhausting) few days.  There is so much to tell you about but I'm so tired so here are a few pics to start with...


The kids playing in snow for the first time last Saturday.  We'd practiced making snow angels in the sand at the beach.


Since we've been here people have been telling us how mild the weather has been but it looks like the "real" winter weather has started.  We had 15cm of snow yesterday and it looks like there should be another 10cm overnight.  The weather has hovered around -5 which has been ok.  Thank goodness for our coats and boots!  The suit we'd bought Baby A wasn't thick enough so now he wears this when we go out with mittens and a beanie underneath!



He doesn't really enjoy wearing this and can't really move his arms but it's necessary!  It's not much fun for a baby who has just mastered putting things in his mouth!  In the pram he has a fleecy blanket sleeping bag as well.  The lady at BabiesRUs said it's fine to go for a walk with babies up to -10!  I've seen people do it too!  People don't stay indoors just because it doesn't stop snowing and it's super cold.  They walk their babies and dogs and go running!

I tried to take a few photos today of the snow falling but it's not easy.  The camera doesn't want to focus on all white!  Not only did we get a lot of snow we also experience freezing rain.  It's just like rain drops that froze on the way down.

All those little white spots are little snow flakes.  It really is turning into a winter wonderland.  Sounds very romantic doesn't it?  I'll talk more about trying to go out into this winter wonderland later...
