I miss you, Mommy

Fell asleep with Kimba cuddling up by my feet, only to wake up a little while later because someone's persistently licking/sucking my ankle!

Told him to stop, which he did, but only until I fell asleep again. Then the licking will start, gradually, lightly.

I was so tired that I finally gave up on trying to stop him, and he eventually fell asleep while suckling my ankle.

Meanwhile, Tinsel clawed and pawed her bed, flipped her pillow around, and made funny noises.

It was only until I woke up, acknowledged her, that she finally calmed down to sleep.

Wow, you guys do miss me, don't you?

I miss you both too - lots.

Kisses, mom

Welcome home...

....Mommy and Daddy.

First, the "Welcoming dance" - squealing, dashing, jumping, pawing, running around and around in a frenzy - for about 15 seconds.

Then, sit up tall, shoulders back, sit bones rooting into the earth - in front of the largest suitcase.

So what have you gotten us this time, Mommy and Daddy? ^_^

Enroute....

....to Hong Kong



Two movies and an inflight meal later, I'm still awake.

Darn.

Bye bye Vancouver....for now

A blissful ten days flew by in a breeze.

Yoga.

Friends.

Wine and dine.

Doing what we love doing, living, breathing, laughing (and eating).

Life could not be better.

Thank you all, for such a wonderful time.

Thank you Chris and Ozlem, for another amazing journey.

And of course, thanks to those back home, for taking care of the kids so we could have had such an amazing and worry-free holiday.

Oh, I'm getting misty in the eyes....
