Catch-up Time

We mentioned in a couple of earlier posts that Alexey slept beautifully on our flights home. The bassinets provided by Lufthansa were just perfect for him. They put us in “the children’s row”, right in front of our portion of the cabin, on both of their flights. The bassinets attach to the wall, allowing their occupants to travel securely. Although Ivan the Bearrible is lying on top of it, you can see the wide heavy cloth restraint that prevents your baby from flying independently of the aircraft:

We took every chance we could to doze on the way home. Here, Mama and Alexey catch some sleep in the lounge in Frankfurt AIrport:

Even once we were home, we needed to sleep a bit more. Here are Alexey and Dada trying to have forty winks. Shiraz is always a willing snoozer:

Welcome back everyone:

It's been a while since I have been on the blog b/c of the change of jobs to another ministry... change of email address etc...

Lucky I have friends at NRCan who can keep me somewhat up-to-date.

I was so sorry to hear about John's misfortune with illness. Glad you are on the mend though.

Man, I cannot imagine how great it must feel for the three of you (four... sorry)to finally be establishing routine AT HOME finally.

Enjoy these happy days... and don't forget, we all have to meet now.

All the best,

Jacques

Hi Monika and John,
Welcome back home, you guys, with your new family member! Alexey looks real cute, and clearly has an adventurous spirit. Enjoy it!

And as Jacques said, "don't forget-- we all have to meet now".

Take care, and welcome to parenthood!

Doug
