I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy. Come on, Squishy Come on, little Squishy.
Ow. Bad Squishy, bad Squishy.

Oops, its been far too long since we blogged last. Which means we have so much to catch up on. This is because in New Zealand we had to pay for the interent and we are too cheap to do that. And to be honest now we are here in Oz and the internet is also not abundant and free I am writing this offline with the aim of copying and pasting it into our online blog!

So I think the last time we blogged we were in LA. It rained in LA which did put a bit of a dampener on our spirits. However we should not complain as it was pretty much the first rain we had to deal with since leaving the UK!

The tricky thing about keeping a blog is the keeping of the blog. If you are doing so many interesting things that you don't have time to keep the blog, then you don't keep a blog - but if you have time to write it all down, you are probably not doing anything interesting enough for the blog. Perplexing.

A treat for you all...only 2 days after Stu blogged, it is now my turn to do the same :)

The first thing I must note, is that Stu missed out on one of the best things that we did when we were in San Francisco...or I should say that we did on the 1st when we were not up for doing much else! We went to see Avatar in 3D. Now the film was excellent. Nothing too amazing in terms of the storyline, but in 3D it is just so great. It was also our 1st 3D movie and i must say, it is something that I will be doing again :)

Wow. I am super sorry about the lack of updates that have been happening - I'll take full responsibility (and point it at Fiona. Everyone knows she's the lazy one...). Ahem. Anyway, here's what's been happening since we last left you....

27th - Vancouver

So, we arrived at the Dunn compound to find it busy!

Aunt Audrey, David and Sue, Sarah, Emma and Megan, Catherine, Ian, Jamie and Peter...the Dunn family! And what wonderful people they were. The kids ranged from age 5 to age 11 - all of them were very excited about Christmas. In fact, when we arrived they had all been allowed to open one present early. I quickly found my place playing polly pocket with Megan (6)...in fact I was barely allowed to eat my dinner....Stu of course was soon lost to the play station with David and Ian!

Gosh, we've been quite bad at keeping you all up to date - but it's all because we've been having such a great time so forgive us :)

Hey!
Just a quick note to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone...and we will blog more later!!
Love to everyone!

Toronot was totally awesome. We had such a good time. There was enough to see during the day - we did not do everything that we had planned. Missed out on the CN tower becuase the weather was cloudy and so we did not think it was worth it to go up when we would not see anything.
But we did manage to see "Fort York" which was almost the basis of the beginnings Toronto. We walked along the water front - something that I feel would have been much nicer if it had not been raining and cold...i think i lost feeling in one side of my face!! OOPS!

We're now in Toronto after a brilliant week with Adam in Montreal. I met Adam when travelling Europe with Duncan, and we all got along brilliantly - so much so that we re-joined him again on another two occasions during the month! I'm not sure if he expected either of us to actually take him up on his offer of free accomodation if we were ever in Canada, but he was a very generous and gracious host.
