This last Sunday began the winter here in the northern hemisphere and finally the days will get progressively longer. It's currently dawning around 7:45 and dusk at 4:20, so when you see it it's night again. That's the thing that bothers me the most about winter around here, the lack of sun and daylight. But with winter also accentuate the beautiful monochrome landscapes, the snow, the cozy days at home in front of the fireplace, the hot chocolate and everything. Despite the feeling of -13ºC, we took advantage that my parents are here and went to the first family sledding of the station, here pertindo from home. And here's last…

I think this was the first major blizzard of the season – with more than 15 inches of snow here in Ottawa. The snow fell steady and peaceful yesterday all day and at night the thing intensified and today by morning we were with several centrimeters accumulated. Diego was the one who suffered to clean the front of the house and the cars… #ginásticagratis… I escaped cleaning due to the big tummy… Rsrsrsrsrsrs For those who like snow, here are some pictures: Car windshield! The one who likes snow in the house the most – fierce competition with dogs Good Friday to everyone! Kiss

A few weeks ago, when I was still free to travel, we went to visit our friends Carol and Luciano, in Mississauga, in the Toronto metropolitan area (GTA).  It's always nice to visit them, but again, it had to be something fast, going on Friday and back on Sunday.  Despite the 475km door-to-door, the route from Ottawa (Kanata in our case) to GTA (Mississauga) is quiet and hassle-free. The most obvious path between the two cities is by highways 417 – 416 – 401 and 403, respectively, which can be done in approximately 4h30min, since all stretches are duplicated (or tripled / quadrupled in some areas) and it is all…

*Thank you Camila! I use Lightroom to edit the photos when I think need it. 🙂 Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving is celebrated today here in Canada. This year, despite the holiday season, we stayed at home and didn't make any typical date suppers around here. We are reserved, thanking you for the blessings we have and for which we are grateful. We take the opportunity to take a walk here through the neighborhood, admiring the beauties that the Canadian autumn offers us. The temperatures have gotten nice during the day and dropping near zero at night (and it looks like it has a forecast of the first flakes there by the…

Wait, stop the world I want to go down! 7 years ago (jáaaaa!) we ventured into one of the biggest steps of our life and I am happy to share, that yes, we are grateful that we did. See here the previous years – 1 year // 2 years // 3 years // 4 years // 5 years // 6 years Well, well-planned adventure, by the way, but it's still a daring undertaking. It's okay that back in 2007, when we got here, it was just the two of us, suitcases and dreams. Today we are almost 6 and we see the world in a very different way from what…
