With no great travelling adventures happening but with a desire not to lose momentum, I have loosely called this post an Adventure, but you'll just have to take that with a healthy dose of Maple Syrup!
So after much gnashing of teeth, I bit the bullet and purchased the Blue 1968 Mustang Coupe. It looks awesome and it has a couple of easy jobs for me to sink my teeth into. Unfortunately though, due to the weather and the amount of salt on the roads, the Mustang has to stay inside and undercover until we reach the spring thaw. I did get a good drive in it, to bring it back to Kingston. Thomas still refuses to go in it, because its a Ford, but he is just worried it will turn him back to Fords! Here are some pics of the 'Stang!

So onto less important matters now.....the house. So it has four walls and a roof and generally keeps us warm and the snow off us. Here is a picture of the roof and one of the walls.
So eventually we had everything moved into the house except for all of our belongings from Australia, because the Customs guys had better things to be doing apparently, other than inspecting our stuff. So I headed off to Walmart (yes those photos in the emails are true) and bought enough kitchenware to cook and eat a meal. I then bashed out a very quick Spag Bol. Here we are hooking into our first meal in the house.
Importantly the boys are all very happy with all of the arrangements so far: school is great and they are enjoying all aspects of it; the bedroom allocation is also popular; as has been Jac's decorating.

The rest of the house is good to go, with the exception of the study / gym and there are a few pictures that we haven't been put up yet. Here is the sitting room, with Australian flag and map, as well as our map of Canada with pins in it, representing all the places we have been or still want to go to.

The next couple of weeks will hopefully see an increase in the adventure activity. This weekend will be quiet with a mess function and then an Australia Day gathering at our house. The following weekend might see some pictures posted from hospital as we plan on going to the snow for lessons!
All for now.
