Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups
But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay

Old dirt road, Knee deep snow
Watching the fire as we grow old

I got a man to stick it out and make a home from a rented house
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done
How many acres how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map

Old dirt road
Rambling rose
Watching the fire as we grow
well I'm sold

Cross-country skiing at Mont Royal Park

On Sunday, Alex and I decided to brave the cold (-28 degrees C) and go skiing at Mont Royal Park. It is actually pretty close to my house, surprisingly!! When we got there it was so cold we had to get moving quickly. After the first 10 minutes my hands were so frozen they started to hurt, but once we got moving a bit more, I warmed up quickly. We went for about 3 km and went to two different lookouts. Then it started to get dark so we decided to head back to the car! The trails at Mont Royal are pretty good and we hope that we can go again soon (maybe it will be warmer next time)!

Back from Bombay!

WOW! India was really interesting. I think that I could spend another month there and not get bored. We had a very excellent time, thanks to the great planning of Alex's mom Gina. We toured from Delhi to Agra, Agra to Ranthambhore, Ranthambhore to Jaipur, Jaipur to Bombay, Bombay to Cochin, Cochin to Bombay! We even had time for a bit of geocaching in Delhi! There are so many places to see in India and such a variety of landscapes and cultures. I ate so much food! So much for getting Delhi Belly and losing some weight! We are trying to put together a cool slideshow (using a sample of our 1000 combined photos). I am glad to be home but am now itching to go on another trip!!!
