Toronto is a beautiful Canadian City!

Hi Everyone !

Never thought we'd be so happy to get to "the Big Smoke" ( a.k.a Toronto) .

We touched down at about 3:20 pm local time and Miss Alyana did fabulous on the flight.

She stayed up a couple hours past her bedtime (so much activity) but when she went down she slept for about 6 hours! She stretched out over one and a half seats while her Mom and Dad crammed into what little was left of the third seat.

We got to the hotel inToronto at about 6:30 pm and all of us were sleeping by 8:00 pm. So, despite the fact that it is currently 2:00 am and we're all up (jetleg is great...) we are doing really well and can't wait for the final leg of our journey later this morning ( around 8 am).If the snow holds off in NB today we'll be touching down at 11:05 am.

We are really excited to see everyone but "jumping-out-of-our-skin" excited to see Benjamin.

Here are a couple more pics for you to have a look at while we get ever closer to our own comfy beds.

As we have said before, this has been an amazing adventure and we are thrilled with our sweet daughter.

We won't miss this!

We're over Canada ....hooray !

So close ......yet, so far away.

(you can see how much the pressure change with descent bothered our girl)

First sleep in Canada.

Getting rested to go see her brother tomorrow.
