FAREWELL TO NOVA SCOTIA...

If ever I felt the inadequacy of the blog to capture our lives, it is this entry. The first portion of our North American vacation was spent in Nova Scotia. Ella, Mattias and I flew July 21 with the help of Auntie 'Chelle. Jeff joined us August 9. We were there until August 18.

This was the first time everyone (except Mom and Dad) met Mattias, and the first time most people had seen Ella since she was celebrating her first birthday. We want to thank our family and friends for their hospitality and generousity during our stay (My gracious, the gifts!!!). As usual, we are overwhelmed by the love and support that continues to be showered on us even as we insist on carrying out this hair-brained adventure an ocean away.

During those few weeks we tried not to do too much...take it easy...relax...recover from the jetlag...and yet we still...

Celebrated Ella's birthday...



Finally met Uncle Michael in person...



And Baby Henry...



Visited with friends...







Had lots of beach time...



And, of course, there was THE WEDDING!





But the best part was the hugs!
