Stampede!

I love this picutre of Neva watching the planes. We had a fairly good flight and it is so great to be in Canada.

















We rolled in to Calgary last weekend and are loving the weather (yes really). What does one do when jet lagged? Go to the Stamped of course.


The barns were a BIG hit.

The rides were a hit as well. We rode the carousel, the swings and the mini roller coaster. 

Here we are at the end of the morning.

Summer Fun

As the heat rolled in to Abu Dhabi we were kept busy with festivities.  Here were some of the happenings: 

Neva's end of term for her playschool (nursery). She LOVED her teacher Ms. Chloe!

Bruce and I had a movie night and made pocket dogs...little trouble with the sizing though.

The latest addition to our living room. The Fat Boy. We ended up purchasing this thing on points - I was orignially against it but have eaten my words as the Fat Boy has provided hours of entertainment and comfy sitting. I always love when Neva wants to play on it - she runs up and says, "Mumma, Fat Boy."

Litte Mia turned 2. We were very happy to drive to Dubai and join the festivities. It was a wonderful party with a Monkey theme - quite appropriate for 2 year olds!

Playing monkeys on the bed. 

Neva being so kind as to help Mia with her gift. 

I ended up returning to the Gramigni's later that week for a longer visit. Coincidentally it was Canada day, so Karla made pancakes and bacon for lunch. THANK YOU!! We all had a great time visitng. 

Neva and Mia

Ella, Mia and Neva. I have a great picture of these three when they were just wee. I will have to dig it out and post it another time.

Here it is Grandma...
I especially like how she can shove food in and sing at the same time. Talented child :)
