Westward Bound

there and back again....
we spent the last week or so in victoria bc, and now after a bit of trouble missing ferries and flights we are home. it is truly gorgeous there! took me awhile, but i think i am smitten. but how we missed the prairie. flying over the mountains pretty much grossed me out, it's like earth warts! when we got further east i breathed a sigh of relief. ahhhh, the flat. nevaeh traveled like a dream. she would get all excited on takeoff, so much that she would clap and yell when we would lift off. needless to say, she made some friends on the planes. she also did very well in victoria with her new best friend, buddy. that is my brother marek's dog, who we were staying with. he is a lover that one. the dog, not the brother. these pics are as follows: 1)me and vaeh on the plane (check out her headset) 2) mike and vaeh on the ferry 3) me and vaeh at the top of mount douglas in victoria which has the most amazing view of the whole city 4) vaeh stuck trying to get at buddy thru the patio door 5) vaeh after escaping from a diaper change to get the dog. to see all the pictures from victoria check out the "more pics" link at the right hand side of the blog. while in victoria nevaeh managed to figure out walking on her hands and feet (the bear crawl) and standing on practically anything included flat surfaces, like the wall. i'm afraid that once she gets going she'll never stop! she is also experimenting with words. on the plane last night when mike got out her bottle she said "ba ba"! or like when i told her "nevaeh can you say Buddy?" and she firmly replied, "Mom." ha ha. i think she misses buddy already now that we are back in saskatoon. sad to be gone, but happy to be home....
