Happy New Year!

Happy New Year dear friends!

The Holidays are fantastic this year:

Santa has been very generous for

all members of the family

and our parents still have a few days

off from work.

Have fun today and see you soon!

We're still here!

Don't worry! 

We are still alive and well

(and a bit bigger than usual,

thanks to all those treats).

Mom is still getting used to the

"working mom" thing and our

dear big brudder Jerome

asks for attention the minute 

he gets home.

See, he wants to play with

mom's new toy, her iPad.

She took these pictures with it.

You'll get more news next week.

By then, we'll have received our

picture with Santa and

hopefully, the Christmas

tree will be up.

Have a great week and, if you are in Canada,

drive carefully on those icy roads.

It's time to go out, get clean... and walk!

Before the chilly winds of autumn,

our family took time to go out a little.

Here they are, at  the Parc

des Iles-de-Boucherville, a provincial

park close to home.

Our big brudder was brave during

the whole shaky hour!

 Here he is again, ready to visit his cousins.

"Jerome, you have the same look when you're

about to play flute really loudly close to 

our sensitive ears!"

 As for us, we recently got groomed.

We stayed that clean for about 1 hour!

Good news! We are now getting

walked every workday morning!

Mom is out and about with us for about

25 minutes, before showering

and preparing Jerome for daycare.
In the evening, it's dad's turn.
We love this new routine!

When are the next Olympic games again?

Look! A park!

Look at what we see from

our living room window :

a park!

Yes, we now live in front of

a large, green space,

with nothing on it except

trees and 2 big rocks.

 And there's more:

there is a second, smaller park, close to home.

Now, mom, can you just please

do as you say and wake up

extra early to walk us in the morning?

Thanks! :-)

Our new life

As you can see, our brudder is adjusting

very well to our new house

(ugly flooring included!).

He's happy all the time,

loving daycare more and more and,

apart from needing to get bigger,

his health is much much better.

It's super cool, right?

 Dad found a new job last week, for a big

company in Montreal.

So far, so good!

We are not exactly happy about this,

but we do get a lot of attention in the evening...

Everyday, mom rushes from her workplace

 closer to home and with

shorter hours, 

picks up our brudder and

hurries to get us out.

Fino, who never got the top grades

in housetraining, finds this challenging.

I'm doing great!

 Luckily, we have our backyard!

And we are not the only ones who love it!

No, we're not going up there!

Do not mistake us for cats!

The backyard

Here are parts of our backyard.

Let us tell you, the grass is delicious!

Our new house

We love our new house!

It is bigger than the first one...

and we finally have an outdoor playground

with lots of big trees!

We'll show you in a few minutes...

Jerome is really happy about all of this,

despite what the photos show.

He is the one who insisted on wearing

his winter, one-size, now-too-small

pajama during the hottest afternoon

last week-end!

Getting settled has proven to take much 

for time than expected.

That's why you haven't seen us in a while.

Mom will get back to commenting on your blogs soon...

She's now back at work and Jerome is

getting used to daycare.

No more crying in the morning: yeah!

We were worried about being alone all day, 

it's not the case, for now.

A few weeks ago, daddy lost his job

(the Montreal branch of his company

suddenly closed).

He's working hard to find a new one.

See you in a minute!

Now, where's that camera again...
