January to March 2010

In an attempt to bring this blog up to speed, here's a quick recap of some of our highlights earlier in the year.

January

We said goodbye to our cozy apartment of 5 1/2 years and purchased our first home! We had an amazing crew of helpers and the move took a seemingly effortless two-and-a-half hours to complete. Perhaps it was the -15*C temperatures that contributed to the short timeframe!

January was also the month when Kaarin was granted her Canadian cititizenship -- long live the Queen!

February

Kirsten, Jeff & Glenn visited Ottawa! We participated in Ottawa's annual Winterlude Festival by skating on the canal and eating Beavertails. We also cheered Kelly on in one of his hockey games.

March

What do Canadian do to pass the winter months? Why, they play Winter Bocce, of course!

Kelly's parents paid us a visit the week leading up to Easter. Among attending a Thirteen Strings concert, a Seder dinner, and engaging in various sightseeing, we also found time to play a bit of Scrabble. Any Scrabble champ in our household is awarded accordingly!
