Salam wa aleikum




....thanks for coming to read my blog.


I hope that you will enjoy keeping in touch with our lives, and that one day, you might even make the trek out to come and visit with us (**NB - VISA's upon arrival for Canadians once again!!).

Grab yourself a nice cup of tea (Make mine JTG's Blue Mountain, mixed with a hint of French Earl...but get something that suits your fancy), and let's catch up...

Houston? We have a problem...

Curious George

This littlest one keeps climbing up on TOP of the dining table!!  It only takes a second--and zoom!  She's up.  You turn your head one way, to see what Ni-Ni (his own name for himself) is doing and zhoop!  Scotty has beamed her up to the top of the table.  This is not only dangerous for HER (as it is a long fall to the hard tile floor to crack open her rock-melon head), but also for any items that we leave on the table-top (Laptops, iPads, iPhones, cups, food...).  I guess the solution is to keep everything OFF the table (thus removing all temptation), but I am running out of high spaces on which to put things!  Peter says to let her fall and experience the pain...but I don't think he fully appreciates the pain of driving 20 minutes with a bleeding infant to wait in an ER where they don't prioritize patients according to needs.

Between the table and the water cooler...

Atlas

Mercifully, as you can see, Ni-Ni is doing great.  Here he is at the Shangri-la, appearing like Atlas, holding up the world.  Really, he is under a table, in a spot that he has never discovered before.  Thanks to his sister,  Curious George, he ventured there today for this photo opp.

Shangri-La Hiding Spot

The princess was also there (in her finery).  It really is VERY difficult to get all three children looking at the camera at that same time (it was a miracle I managed it for the Father's Day gift).

Tonight we will have an iftar at home (catered by Sumo Sushi) with our friends Hanim, Andrew and Omar.  I am looking forward to catching up with our friends, and Ni-Ni loves company!

As I sleep, my friend's daugther Nadia will be getting married in Edmonton.  I love Fiona, and her family, and I wish them only happiness.
