One year ago today...

... we arrived in Canada after a long trip home from Ethiopia. Button was not impressed with the cold - he didn't want to leave the warmth of our friend's van (in which he had fallen asleep during the 2-hour drive from the airport) to enter the frigid January air, even just for a rush into the warm house. So Laoye carried him in, and we pretty much fell into bed (it was about 8 pm local time, 2 am Ethiopian time!). The next morning, though at first saying it couldn't be possible to go outside (or at least communicating it without words!), after seeing Mustang get all bundled up in her snowsuit, boots, mitts and hat, he was happy to do the same and go have fun outside. Hasn't looked back since!!

i love remembering those FIRST winter experiences... so glad you are now entering the year of 'seconds', it is in many ways more fun than the firsts. sk
