The first two weeks

by

Time sure flies. It’s already been two weeks since we welcomed Shahin, Yasmin, Shana and Yara to Halifax. And what a two weeks it’s been! Full of appointments of all types, learning to navigate the city on the bus, discovering Canadian groceries and figuring out our wacky money (yes, we really do call our $1 coin a loonie!) – it’s been busy. But not too busy, thankfully, to have a bit of fun. Check out these pics of the Ali family’s first two weeks in Canada! 🙂

We are so happy to have them here. Welcome!
