This has got to be one of the cutest shots to date.
Watching Chris and Zoe interact really warms my heart. Chris is a natural at being a Dad. This shot was taken during a gruelling Scrabble game with Nanny and Poppy. Chris was entertaining himself (and Zoe) rather than paying attention to his game... understandable with such an adorable baby coupled with an unfortunate whipping in Scrabble.

Movember!
Hi,
I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer. I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a donation. The funds raised go directly to Prostate Cancer Canada.
What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to afflict Canadian men with 25,500 diagnosed and 4,400 dying from the disease each year.
Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.
To make a donation, you can either:
• Click this link http://ca.movember.com/mospace/7316/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account , or
• Write a cheque payable to ‘Prostate Cancer Canada’, referencing my Registration Number 7316 and mailing it to: Prostate Cancer Canada, 145 Front Street East, Ste. 306, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.
All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Prostate Cancer Canada will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.
For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please go to http://ca.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
Thank you

Starting again in Toronto
Since one adventure has come to an end and another has begun, I thought that I would keep up the blog. Hopefully Chris will join in too. I have been in TO since Jan 21 and a lot has happened. My first few days were spent looking for an apartment for us. I found one that we both agree is pretty great. It is a building from the 1930s with original wood, beautiful hardwood floors, glass door knobs, 2 bedrooms, close to the lake and trails as well as BloorWest. We don't have much furniture yet but we are making due with a futon and borrowed dishes until our stuff arrives at the end of the month. We have most of what we need - kettle, pots, etc. and we have gotten used to improvising. Chris arrived about a week after I left Vancouver and it was great to be back together after the week apart. After spending 24X7 together for 10 months, it felt odd to be so far apart. It was good time for both of us to spend some time on our own and with friends. Shortly after Chris arrived we moved into our apartment. It was a quick and easy move and it feels great to have our own space and be able to cook our own meals. While traveling was great, and staying with friends a nice treat, nothing beats being able to kick back at home and relax.
I started working at Yummy Stuff with Morag this week. It is amazing to be in a place that smells so amazing all day! I'm amazed and proud of what Morag has done with her business. It is exciting to become a part of it, and exciting also to be in such a different environment to the corporate world. Valentines Day is a busy time of the year at a bakery and it is a good chance for me to see how things operate. Getting back into the routine of daily work has been more tiring than I had anticipated! The end of my loafing around is welcome, but will take some getting used to!
Chris has been busy with interviews and job searching, and he has been an excellent house husband during this first week of work
for me. He's made some great dinners and taken good care of stuff on the home front. I think the role suits him very well, actually.
As you may know it has snowed quite a lot in TO. I was dreading such weather, but am finding it quite nice actually! The snow has been gorgeous and the temperature cold, but not crazy cold. The sky has been blue and brilliant, so no complaints from me. I miss the snow on the mountains in Vancouver and I'm sure that those thoughts won't go away too soon, however it is nice to be reminded of the beauty in this city too. So far so good.
Hope that all is well for anyone reading
