Vansterdam

Mom and Dad came to visit us! In Vancouver! In the snow! ON CHRISTMAS! AND...we did it in less than 500 square feet in a non-smoking building for five days with no incidents. That is either a testament of how awesome we are or how drunk we were. I would like to think it was both. Highlights included walking the Capilano suspension bridge , dining at HJU:Z on Christmas, taking Kyle to his first casino (collectively losing 20 dollars).    -------    ------- We didn't take pictures in the casino,  both because we didn't want to document our loser selves and it is illegal.

I'll tell you what, we have checklists going for everything right now... I would love to report that it is starting to feel like home here, but there is still so much to get done around here. Just so everyone is on the same page, we still haven't found a permanent apartment, we haven't even started researching how to get our stuff up here (or how long it will take), and if you know what a SIN is - you know more than me. Still, it is great to have the three of us under one roof again. And Bella even has a window to look out of - like she did in Marietta. A bonus is that Travelope is still making stops; here he is in Squamish and in Whistler.
