We had the final inspection and handed in the keys to our
apartment on Wednesday. We have been staying with my parents since Tuesday
night as an intimate goodbye and a place to rest as we complete the final
preparations for our departure on Saturday morning. Today we were going out to
do some last errands, getting a wash basin and some propane for the camping
trip. We told Zaid to say goodbye as he was coming with us. He went up to the
dog, Kala, and said “Bye Kala, Me go home now.” It made me realize that we are
a bit homeless for the next 6 weeks. It was kind of difficult to come up with a
place to call home. He didn’t seem to mind so much though after we promised him
a trip to the park afterwards. As long as he has us then he is home.
We had a nice get together with My Aunt Gillian and Robyn
and some of their children this morning. It was nice to have a last visit
before we leave. This picture of us was taken by Auntie Gillian. It is the
first family photo of the 4 of us and perfectly encapsulates our children’s
personalities. Zaid is trying to get away, never content to sit in one spot,
and Owen is just sitting there, trying to lean forward to make sure he isn’t
lying down. Come August we will have an after picture, probably with a bit more
of a disheveled look on all of our faces.
