Arrived in Denver...

Image
Dear Diary, I thought I should share some pictures and bring you up to date with what's been happening. I arrived quite late into denver on monday night as my flight from newark, New York to Denver was delayed by 3 hours. But when you take into account the extra 2 hours due to mountain time then I didn't lose too much. However it was near 11pm when I got to my hotel. http://marriott88-px.rtrk.com/hotels/travel/densa-renaissance-denver-hotel/ The next day I went to the Metro taxi office at 10am and had my first look at my new office. As you can see there is much to do even before I start to install the autocab system, I haven't even got somewhere to set up and prep my computers, which should arrive next monday, hopefully. So I have had to get painters, an electrician, and the local carpet guy in to get things going, hopefully they will be starting tomorrow. This will be the view from the office... The view from the hotel room is a little better and you can see the rockies in...

Dear Diary, I think this will be a long post so prepare yourselves.... First of all, Colin and I would like to say thank you to all for your telephone calls, prayers, emails, cards and kind words after the passing away of his mom. It was very much appreciated and comforting to know that we were in your thoughts and prayers these last few weeks. Secondly, an update on the Colorado situation. We are leaving at the end of May (date to be determined) but only after Colin spends the next three weeks in Denver. He is leaving on Monday to set up the office and start the installation and return home on or about the 16th. He also hopes to have time to find us a place to live, arrange for a company car, cell phone, locate the shopping malls, restaurants, hair dressers, etc... phew, he'll have a lot to do and I'll give him a list to make sure he doesn't forget anything! In the meantime, I will stay behind and really buckle down on sorting the house and packing up. We have collected so...

Isla can speak?

Dear Diary, Yes, her Daddy really thinks she can say her name. Apparently she can say "Isladlkjfaj" and that's her name!!! Whatever, he's been trying to teach her since she was two weeks old to say "Daddy" so he is marginally disappointed that was not her first word. I will be contacting the folks at Guinness World Records later on this afternoon. She went for a check up at the hospital with the pediatrician on Tuesday and they were very pleased with her progress and growth. She was 52.5 cm. long and weighed in at 8lbs. 11ozs. We've even noticed her lifting her head up when she is on my shoulder or laying on her daddy's chest. Sitting in her chair at 6.5 weeks old Look, she has hair on her head (and eyebrows) In case you were wondering what it says on her shirt, it says "Daddy's little Princess". Enough said, right? Have a blessed Sunday. Heather, Colin and Isla
