My first holiday

Sorry it has been so long since our last update but we have been a busy little family. Over the Easter long weekend, from Sunday to Wednesday, we went to visit our friends Hanna, Giovanni and Sandro in Italy. Giovanni, who is Italian (just in case the name wasn't enough of a hint), has a family house in a small town called Cavi Borgo, on the beautiful coast of Liguria.

It was a great weekend, and Kirin fared pretty well for his first trip abroad. The flight was fine, the food was good, the house and company brilliant. Best of all for a baby, the weather was fantastic - warm and sunny, and barely a cloud in the sky. So, for the first time in his life, he was able to go outside without a hat, coat or chunky sweater and just hang out. It makes you wonder if raising a child in a warm climate isn't a bit easier than in Canada, the UK, Russia or Sweden.
