Last Friday the wee one's passport arrived. Saturday morning first thing her and I boarded a plane to Amsterdam and then transferred to another one to get to Toronto. I was mildly terrified as obviously I have never traveled with a small infant on my own. I was really lucky and honestly pleasantly surprised. KLM were very good to us and I even had a cot for her to sleep in which meant I could put her down! I tell you, holing a small baby for more than 12h consecutively would have damn near killed me. I even managed to watch two movies (Volver and 27 dresses) and a few episodes of the simpsons, will and grace as well as one of the sopranos! Not bad!
The heat here is monumental but so nice as summer as of yet had not arrived to Barcelona. The wee one wasn't quite too sure where I had taken her as she went from bundled to boiling in the matter of a few hours.
To say that it is wonderful to be here is an understatement. I really really needed a break and it is so good for my soul to see my whole family. I sometimes forget how hard it is to live so far away from them.
I'm equally thrilled that Sean and Grant are coming down from Ottawa next weekend. I have not seen Sean in over 6 years! We are far overdue!
I think we've taken about a zillion photos since we arrived... brace yourself this might just be a mommy blog for a short while...
Arrivals! We don't look too shabby after more than 12h of traveling...
Sienna and Isabella's first encounter.
Meeting great grandma
Meeting Great Grandpa
The girls with my mum (grandma that would be I suppose)
Girls in their car seats (this is all new for Sienna)
Isabella quickly showed her how it was done...
I am in the jolly jumper... one of several instruments of torture they have for me here in this strange country.
Hmmm this is a chair?
And this thing? some sort of spinning walker? We surely have no room for such things in our tiny flat!
Brampton boot camp is all to much work... nap time!
