Django's First Ukulele

This shot was taken by Savta Ruth on the occasion of Jonah's acquisition of his first musical instrument. He choose the Fire Engine Red to match his shirt. I can't wait to see where he takes his inherent musical talent.

Let the good tunes roll!

Saba and Savta safe in London

JD Blog's very own Union Duck reports Ruth and Harry have arrived safe back in London.

Our family wishes to take a moment to thank them again for the lovely visit. It was so nice to enjoy food, day trips in the car, brisk walks in the rain, playing in the park and hanging around the new house. Jonah especially wishes to thank Saba and Savta for the lovely gifts and especially his New Balance shoes!

We do hope you both keep well and can come back and visit us all real soon.

We love and miss you loads already!

Pics from Yasmine's visit

Hi folks,

As promised my cousin Yasmine just sent our office some pics from her trip. It's a mixed bag of candid shots, so I've attempted to post the one's that won't embarrass anyone. I love the shot of her above, relaxing and enjoying a big cup of tea. She fit nicely into the Toronto vibe and scene as if she had lived here her whole life. We really hope that she can come and visit again soon. Ok, let's get to those pics.

Here is a cute shot of Mom and I at Riverdale farm.

I was overwhelmed by something and Mom came to my rescue.

Here is a funny photo of us all trying on these crazy hats at one of the market stalls at the Harbourfront. Mom and I are cut out of the frame slightly but it's a funky pic none the less.

Here I am playing with a big Chinese fan.

Finally, here are the two ladies indulging in an afternoon foot spa treatment.

Thanks Yas for sending these. We miss you so much! Don't work too hard and best of luck with your studies this year.


Love Django :)

Welcome Saba & Savta aka Ruth and Harry

Hey people,

Regular readers to this blog will know that October has already been a very busy month for us. The good news is that our move to the new house on Condor went really well thanks to the heart and muscle of Uncles Marty, Tom and Stephen. Our new house is cozy and absolutely fabulous, it feels like a really good fit for us. It has some minor issues but we all love it! The fact that it's situated so close to my daycare means that I have more time each day to play and hang out. I also love the fact that I can ride my bike, scooter or walk to school. Being on such a quiet street is a great bonus and already we are all sleeping better.

With the move now behind us, I'm also posting a warm welcome to Ruth and Harry,  who arrived from jolly ole England on October 3rd. They are staying for a 3 week visit and lodging at a nice B&B around the corner from us. We have plans to lay low and do stuff around the city if the weather allows. We also have a trip planned to go see my Bapa Ken over Thanksgiving and also hang out with Nana Emily too! To quote the Baby Signing Time DVD, "So many moms, so many dads, there are many, many people who love me!"



I'll post pics hopefully ( although those two can be a little camera shy) but Ruth is a great photographer, although I haven't seen her get out her camera, yet.

Jonah :)

P.S. I'm still trying to connect with Yasmine to get her to e-mail me some pics. Will keep you posted.
