It always makes me feel a little nostalgic to celebrate Canada Day from abroad... a tangible reminder that we are calling a place other than Canada our home for the present moment. Though we make the most of it and enjoy taking a moment... to make an ordinary day feel extraordinary simply by being together!!!

| Happy birthday Canada... from Isabel and Anaïs!! |
Our festivities were not quite as elaborate as those on Parliament Hill (especially with Royal visitors. Side note: Isabel was giddy with joy talking about the fact that the Prince and Princess were in Ottawa... that's where she was born, after all!!!)... so we are looking forward to photos!! Yet we enjoyed a perfectly beautiful day.
A lovely morning spent in the park. A delicious lunch at home. Then in the afternoon, we went to Usaquen to share some french fries, nachos and mango juice with good friends... and later for ice cream. Here are a few photos snapped with my phone of the girls having fun... memories to cherish. Leo was in the sling, so he and I did not make it into any photos today... but we were just as eager to wish Canada a Happy Birthday!!!
