The Long Haul





We're finally big enough to get our own row on the plane. This is Mr. Man's first flight, and he did just great! No crying, no fussing. Just eating and napping. That's about all I could handle after 2 Dramamines anyway, thank God.
We had to get a couple of last-minute passports issued for the journey- one to replace Nico's which just expired, and one for Julian. Good thing we figured out that he needed one BEFORE we reached the airport. His passport picture is so cute- his chubby face smiling from ear to ear with a huge drool spot on his shirt.
Zoe too, did a fine job, thanks to our new Finding Nemo DVD. About 8 hours in the air with a minor stopover in Toronto and we landed safely in Ottawa for a visit with Grammy & Grandpa Ted. After a few Advils (does it sound like a string of commercials yet? I'm waiting for those checks to start rolling in from the sponsors) we finally stretched our legs and poured a glass of wine. Last year at this time, we came with the news of a new baby. This time we came with baby. I hope this is the beginning of a lifetime of adventure and travel for them both.
