We moved out of our house at the end of August. It is under renovations and currently uninhabitable. We moved to the beautiful city close by to us, that we used to live in 7 yrs ago. The girls were extremely excited. They started at a new Catholic School - so new uniforms had to be purchased. Trinity went into Grade 7 and Avalon went into Grade 4. They are settling in well. It was the first time that their Daddy was not there to walk with us to school on their "first day back".This Immigration beuracracy "ticks" me off. I never would have imagined that we would be apart this long. I have a conference in Victoria, B.C. at the end of this month that will take up my time, but I am in the midst of obtaining a sabbatical soon to fly down to see Douglas.
The girls and I are debating about whether to surprise him or to let him know of our arrival date. He knows that we are planning to come down in October or November time, but that is all that he knows. He is soooo looking forward to seeing us.
The other day the girls and I were back at our house that is being renovated and my girls discovered these little adorable kittens with their Mum nursing them across the street. Unfortunately, their Mum is a stray and a single Mum as well - no husband to be seen! ha ha
They are only a couple of weeks old. So adorable! The girls made a little home for them in a cardboard box and fancy leopard furry material, fed them and gave them water. Our local "nosy neighbours" caught wind of the plight of these kittens and called the SPCA. I don't know if they were picked up yet, but I hope they will get nice homes.

Adorable girls and equally adorable kittens. A nice post, need to read some earlier ones to fully catch on the immigration problems. Would love to join you on your journey though so am signing up to be follower number 8!
ReplyDeleteI too was born in England and raised in London but, for the past, nearly 3 years, have lived in the mountains of Andalucia, Spain.
I have a blog which is lighthearted and fun but also has bits about my life prior to coming to Spain, some quite personal. Hope you'll come over to visit. I'll surely be back to visit with you and your family.
Have a great day Jane. I'll be back to read some earlier postings.
Hey Gloria! Thanks for dropping by and for the lovely comments. Your blog is so interesting. I just watched that Michael Jackson video - that was great! Also, since photography is a passion of mine, I loved your son's blog as well. Smiles & Chuckles!
