Canadian Swans--Our first months in Montreal (August-September 2017)

Hi friends and family, and welcome to our new blog!

We have been meaning to get this going since we arrived, but 2017 was a whirlwind for us. It's currently May 12, 2018, and I'm finally able to start catching up and sharing more photos and videos from our time here.

I'm going to keep the narrative short, as I have a lot to catch up on, but many of the photos and videos speak for themselves. We'll try to post more often.

Lots of love to everyone!

Hamsa (and Danika, Ellora, & Mirabel)
