Reds go Italy

The adjustment from hot and humid Fairhope Alabama to the freezing winters in Ancaster Ontario was not easy.  Furthermore, we decided to finally give  in to Sebastiaan's long wish and get ourselves a dog - which obviously needs walking, even in -25C....   Meanwhile Sebastiaan also made it through that IB program (which we thought was international, but wasn't really) and both kids are now at McMaster's University aspiring to be psychologists.  It's been quite the two years again, but we are adjusting to the new life here and we're quite happy with the move.   Apart from the cold winters, Ancaster is really nice.  The people are warm and welcoming and nature is just stunning.  Here are some impressions, mostly filled with Amara's presence.  Not sure if the blog will be continued, but we will see

 It's been a while, but the last 4 years in Alabama really flew by.  As mentioned in the  last post here, the Italy story came to an abrupt end and COVID didn't help, so we had no option but to go back to Alabama.  Home sweet home almost....   The 4 years we spent in Alabama from 2020 to 2024 were mostly uneventful.  Life seemed to go by at a good southern pace ;-) Meanwhile, the kids weren't getting any younger.  Jozefien graduated the IB high school program in 2024 and Sebastiaan built up a solid friend group and was planning on graduating in 2025...  until it all went crazy again and we decided to pick up and move...  Canada, here we come ;-)
