Hi all
This months update is largely to do with our time spend in Port Hardy with Nic, Miwako's dad or "grumpy" to the girls. Nic came over from Japan to spend some time with our little ones and we all went up to our house on North Vancouver Island to hang out where the wild things are. This involved trips to watch whales from the beach, coffee at the local espresso place and the odd beer at the local oceanfront pub, which to those of you have been will likely remember. The girls were on best behavior for the ten days and only slightly cranky on the 8 hour car and ferry trip!
The girls now weighing over 18lbs, play together and eat and even sleep at the same time thus making things a lot easier for mum and dad. Having said that they are still a handful when you have them on your own for long periods of time. This is what happened when Nic and I got the chance to visit one of my fish counter sites, a day trip by boat from the next town. We had a great time enjoying some grizzly bear watching while doing my work. The photo is three bears fighting over one pink salmon which is p
assing over our fish counter.Meanwhile mum was looking after the girls, who had at that time not yet started solid food, but were showing an interest if misdirected as yet. All in all it was a great time, a rest for Mum most of the days as Nic helped with cooking and the endless washing of feeding bottles and I hope a break for Nic from his busy life in Japan.
Next update is feeding time ............ at the zoo (at least that is what it feels like!)
Don and
Miwako
