Video of Sophia in Winter 2012

Another posting just a few days after the previous one - this hasn't happened in a long time.  Unfortunately the next entry may not be for a few months once I return to work on February 22.  Sophia's birthday is on April 23 and some of her grandparents will be visiting us this spring.  So the next video may come in May.  I'm sure Sophia will have more delightful surprises.   Hopefully some of them can be captured on the camcorder!

Welcome to 2012!

I didn't think that it would be six months between postings!  But many things happened last fall that delayed things.  Me moved into our new house and I traveled to Europe in September 2011.  Then we traveled to Charleston, S.C. for a working vacation in late October and early November.   We spent Christmas in Edmonton and on January 11 I had surgery on my back.  It was day surgery and it went very well.  My sciatic pain is gone but I still have numbness in my left foot and toes.  My back is stiff but I'm pretty mobile.  I've been on medical leave for six weeks and I've had a relaxing rehab.  Darcy has worked very hard looking after me and Sophia.  Darcy is taking bellydancing classes once a week.  She's also been practicing henna and she's drawn some great designs on our hands and candles.

Below is a two part video of my ancestral homeland of Bukovina in Romania when I traveled there in September.  It was an amazing journey to see where my Schreyer ancestors came from 100 years ago.  The third video below is the long overdue video of Sophia's adventures in Summer and Fall 2011.  Stay tuned for her Winter 2012 video!
