Tomomi, Sakura and I have safely arrived in Chard, Alberta. Our new mailing address is:
General Delivery
Chard, Alberta
T0P 1G0, Canada
Our phone will be hooked up on 16 August 2006--my first day of work. We don't yet have Internet access at home, but we're going to work on that. Our only commercial choice is $30/month 56K dial-up. I've heard a rumor that a concerned parent in the community might donate a wireless router to the school. In that case, we should be able to get signal from home, seeing as how we're about 50m away. The school has a high-speed connection.
We have some household essentials, and are getting along reasonably well.
In my haste, I left our camera in dad's car. So, I won't be posting any pictures until it arrives. Sorry, Keiko. Tomomi and I will post lots of pictures soon.
Sakura is now about 9-10kg, and ~70cm. She can sit on her own, but her balance is not perfect, and she usually falls over in a couple minutes. She is not yet crawling, but she has achieved mobility through rolling. When she is supported at the arms, she can take a few steps. Again, balance is lacking. We're working on it, though.
Chris, if you're out there, I discovered this morning that plastic collars can't hold together an 80lbs dumbbell. No animals were harmed in this discovery.

glad to hear that you arrived safely.
is it a wise idea to post your address and phone number on the internet?
you'll be getting packages of nasty porn in the mail very soon if you don't watch out.
Hey there Tim, Tomomi, and Sakura
Greetings from the Mercer's
Well we have arrived in Mississauga, thought that we would drop you a line and see how things are going. We are glad that you all have settled in well and are doing fine. How is Tomomi and Sakura liking Chard? Email us soon, we would love to hear from you
Karren and Darren Mercer
Tim phone me, there is a package for you at the post office here. No one seems to have your number.
Love Amanda.
My understanding of the metric system is inadequate to make sense of these crazy numbers!!
Sakura, if you find this, contact me.
