244 of 365 Delightful Miss Norah

We babysat the girls tonight. Took this about 5 seconds before Norah said "Enough I am tired" and promptly fell asleep in Grandpa's arms. (for about 15 minutes) We wore them out. They should sleep well tonight.

Sweet hat from Great uncle John and Aunt Mary.

I went to the zoo with the girls today. Miss Eva was more interested in jumping off rocks and collecting rocks then any of the animals but she seemed to have a fun time and walked for well over an hour. Miss Norah slept.

I am loving all her wonderful expressions. As we were walking along hand in hand I heard this small little voice singing "ah, ah, ah, ah,  lets go fly a kite" ...... although the words were not quite so discernible I knew exactly what she was singing. She quite loves Mary Poppins these days.


Today was also the day we officially turned Eva's car seat to face forward which Miss Eva thought was just very cool! Big grins and wide eyes all the way to the zoo. (slept all the way home from the zoo)

It's just me, laundry, my Mac, my tablet and about 1000 wedding photos.
And I have a photo shoot tomorrow. :)

This is where the Trans Canada # 1 Highway ends here at the Pacific Ocean. Thought I would play with some long exposures - 1 minute exposure on this one.

236 of 365 Calgary Sunrise

Got up at 3 am for this shot.....
We are in Victoria.
"A man plans his ways but the Lord determines his steps". This has come to mind several times today as plans for the great grandchildren to finally meet Oldemar (Norwegion for great grandmother) and their new cousin Jane, were squashed by a flu bug Eva picked up earlier this week. Allison phoned at 3am this morning to say that Eva was still throwing up so we cancelled her 5:30 am ticket. So sad and so disappointing. The house we rented here is perfect for the gang. Oldemar (who is 86) has the fridge stocked with food and of course is very disappointed too. But such is life with little ones. Not sure when we will have opportunity to rearrange this.  So there you have it - the best laid plans were not meant to be. Eva needs to be at home for the next few days to recover and prevent any more spreading.

So it was quiet in the Calgary airport waiting for our connecting flight and watching the sun come up.
