Andy's new digs

Andy moved a couple of weeks ago from the flat he was staying in, in downtown Edinburgh to this quaint coach house located in the backyard of someone's home, just blocks from the North Sea!!  How cute is this?!

International Christmas Marketplace

Today Rachel, Tyler, Lyden, Silvana, mom and I went to the International Christmas Marketplace at Spruce Meadows.    I particularly loved the "vintage feel" belt buckle shown above - so sweet!  On stage there were some Irish dancers performing and later, a Dutch choral group singing Christmas carols which really added to the Christmas feel and atmosphere.  A good time was had by all.

Snowmen abound!

The kids helped me put out the snowmen collection today - actually, it was more like they "took over"!  

First real snowfall

And Norman is prepared!! Erin and Lyden updated Norman's look for winter.

Postcards from Edinburgh

Andy sent me these photos he took from his walks about Edinburgh - he's living at a flat not far from the Royal Mile.  He's there for a total of 7 weeks to work on a film, returning just in time for Christmas on Dec 22.  I miss him terribly.
