We’ve been getting our feet under us… Jrock went back to work the day after we got home, so the girls and I have been keeping busy: baking bread, going to the beach, hanging out the laundry, etc. We still haven’t unpacked, but that’s the way it goes. They are upstairs watcvhing football with Daddy right [...]

Thank goodness! It sure is nice to be back.
I just want to start by thanking everyone who was so kind and helped us out during the difficult time - from my mom jumping on a plane with 6 hours notice, to my sister posting this stuff up, to my friend T helping me pack, to [...]
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I spoke to the whole family this evening on the phone - safe and at home in Kelowna. Nicky and Jrock sounded wiped, but glad to be home. Sugar and Spice were very excited to be in Canada at last, and didn’t sound tired at all! [...]
What good girls these are! They are patiently waiting out on the balcony blowing bubbles while Daddy checks his football and I write this update at the internet cafe. They so cute - toe to toe. One guy just came in and said “Are they twins?” - we hear this probably 4 or 5 times [...]
For all those of Nicky and Jrock’s friends in Kelowna, you are welcome to greet Nicky and the girls when they arrive in Canada!
Unfortunately, Jrock wasn’t able to get a flight home with them, so they all leave Addis on Tuesday, but while Jrock is going through Germany, Nicky, Sugar and Spice will be flying [...]
Just a quick note to let everyone know that as of this morning, they have the visas! Yay! Now they just have to get the travel visa for Germany…usually just a day or so turn around. So travel plans are underway….
Yay!

Here are a few of my favourite pictures from Gramma’s camera. They aren’t necessarily the best pictures, but the ones that made me pause…that show my sis being a mom (so cool), that show a little about the girls’ personalities, and that just made me go “Awwww….”. I can’t wait to see the pictures of [...]
 Hello Ena,Â
Â
I arrived in Addis last Friday after a long flight, but was happy to be here to see Nicky and the girls. They were a little worried at first and not completely receptive but things have improved with time. We spent a couple of days in Addis in the rain and then went south to [...]

With Gramma back, there are a lot more pictures to post… here are a few she emailed me. I’ll get the rest over the next few weeks, so keep checking back!
Sugar, Spice, Nicky and Gramma.

This is one of the learning games Nicky has been playing with the girls to build vocabulary. She says a word, [...]

Howdy everybody. I just wanted to let you all know where we’re at…
Gramma (my mum) is back in Canada. I got to have a little time with her yesterday, and it was wonderful hearing about Nicky and the girls from her. She’s happy to be home, but she’ll miss spending time with her grandaughters and [...]
Hello everybody! from Ethiopia. We’re just finishing up our third week in Addis - and Mum is off tonight on the plane. She’s been a wonderful help - it’s been hard for her to be hands off with the kids (although I see her sneaking a kiss now and then!) but she’s been a trouper [...]
Hello friends and family. I just wanted to update you that I will be heading to Addis this Thursday August 6 to meet up with Nicky, Sugar, and Spice. It has been a long few weeks since Nicky left on the 13th and I am excited to be travelling. We are going to tour around some [...]
