At this point re-capping all the events of the past few weeks would require more text than most would care to read or I would care to write. We made it home, to no home, from Moscow. On the way I spent several days in London touring the art scene and met up with Shannon and Aurora on their layover and together we flew to Seattle.
Home was a pretty loose term for us initially, we did get a spot on campus at UBC, however we arrived home on Aug 27th, classes started on September 2nd, and we couldn't move in until the 4th of September. Thankfully to generous friends and some manipulation of the housing system we had places to stay and did successfully move into our new home on the 3rd of September.
So that means that we have been living in Canada now about 2 weeks. Things are hectic, Shannon and I are both students, we are still unpacking boxes, we don't have a phone and are mooching the neighbors Internet, we are in the middle of starting and applying for work, and in the midst of it all we are keeping up with aurora. Of course this was all a choice, we could have easily moved in sometime in August and then life would be more "normal". Instead we unpack slowly, eat dinner on the beach, Shannon paddles, and I wake up early to climb in the campus gym (while it is still free). It it an adjustment to full time school with the family, but we are figuring out how to balance it all.

You guys are amazing. Best of luck as you settle in :)
What the heck. You don't update your blog for about a month, I don't check it for two weeks, and when I look at it just for old time sake, next thing I know you are in Russia? Awesome. Sounds like you guys had a good time. Consider yourself extremely blessed to have a mellow baby on your international flight. We just flew to Utah a few days ago and Ellis was sure to make it the longest three hours of my life. Ahh, fatherhood.
