Today after dropping off Elina I realized I was missing my iPod (& mobile phone)! Much to my surprize, I opted to return home and be late for work than commute to work without it! Call me easily distracted but I get really bothered by the oddest things (i.e. some sniffling, humming, chatting, the buzz of [...]
Today we visited Riverdale Farm after our usual coffee on Queen Street. It was such a beautiful sunny spring day. Here’s proof, a spring flower, we even passed some trees with little leaf buds (beyond the pussywillow form)! I love spring and so did Connor and Stella – who we visited the [...]
Today I saw a Disney commercial for Barbie Fairytopia Elina Doll. It was so cute of Disney to name one after our daughter. We chose the name Elina for a few reasons. First off, we liked it. Then immediately realized that it had the names of both our mothers – Elin (Herman’s mom) and Lina [...]

Elina sang the Happy Birthday song. I’m wearing green. We’re going out for supper tonight with the kidlets! Last year this time, we [...]
So, about 10-15 years ago I visited Toronto as a tourist and wondered how on earth people lived here! Well, its been 9 years now that we moved here, planted some roots, travelled, found great employers, great friends and adopted a beautiful child. I wouldn’t do this anywhere else expect here in TO! Throughout the [...]

Absolutely nothing, but mommy’s freeting, and hoping that everyone doesn’t think I’ve forgotten about you all. Its taking a bit longer than I thought and I am looking for ways to implement a Gallery (for all the photos!) and to display the archived material. So give me a few more days.
Elina on the other hand [...]
