Feeling content here in Calgary

June 20th
Our flights to Calgary went really smoothly with there being only 2 slightly trying times.  One was trying to land in Houston.  When I checked the weather for Houston while we were still in San Antonio, there was no rain anywhere close to Houston, but by the time we were getting ready to land in Houston there were quite a few storms!  So, on our first approach to the runway we were going down steadily until the pilot all of a sudden gunned the engine and headed us back up into the air.  Of course, not knowing what REALLY happened, all I could think of was that somehow we had a near miss with another plane.  But the pilot did come on later and told us that it wasn't safe to land at that time after all and had to circle the airport a little longer.  Whew!
Then, when we arrive at our gate (which amazingly enough was in the exact same terminal where we landed), we see on the board that our next flight is delayed by almost an hour.  So, we had a longer wait in Houston than we had thought but it went by quickly enough and soon we were on our way to Calgary!  We get to Calgary at 10:10pm and it was still very light outside!  Fernando met us at the arrivals and after many hugs, we were on our way to his apartment and Eva and little Leo.

This is a picture taken of little Leo on June 19th, which was midsommar!

And now some pictures taken on June 21st and 22nd

A few Leo pictures

He's growing right before our very eyes.....

The little Nackerbatzl!  Nackerbatzl is an affectionate German word for an unclothed little baby.
