Sasha Sleeps with Her Eyes Open

Both Sasha and her mum share this trait. They both sleep with their eyes open. Sometimes their eyes are so wide open that the pupils are fully visible, and yet they are sound asleep.

Wedding Video, With Completely Inappropriate Music

Our videographer is Czech and didn't understand the words to the song he attached to this video.  The movie was meant as a quick message to mum.  My mother (77) was not well enough to travel from Victoria, Canada to Prague for the wedding, alas.

Gozo Ferry Family Pic

We so need a break. No laptops allowed on this trip. A full weekend of exploring and adventuring with nothing digital.

Gozo Happy

On the way to Gozo Sasha was continuously saying baba baba. Not Mama, not Papa. She's trying to keep us both happy. She's also standing now, with some assistance. But she's not learned to crawl. She's 7 months and 2 weeks old.

Heading To Gozo

On the ferry to Gozo from Malta. Taking a weekend adventure to the teeny rural island of Gozo, North of Malta in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Coffee and a Poodle

We took in a coffee on our favorite terrace at the Corinthia hotel in Malta and were presented with a balloon poodle for Sasha by the friendly hotel staff. Sasha was ecstatic.

Tampa to London

Flying back to Europe with Sasha in a babybox, a batman watch that beams the time onto the wall for nephew Martin, a whiskey and coke, and a book on our shiny new Kindle. Flying is the only time we sit still and do nothing.
