Mackenzie King & More

Here is Lucas and me with the newest member of our family, Mackenzie King! We adopted HER from the the Ottawa Humane Society just one week ago now. She's just over a year old and still as fiesty as a kitten. She has really livened things up for us here and it's nice to have the distraction. Really, she's an absolute sweetheart who loves attention and to play with anything that moves! She has quite the name you might notice. She's named after William Lyon Mackenzie King, the longest serving Prime Minister in Canadian history. We just call her Mack for short :)

Besides Mack, everything else is going really great in Ottawa for us. We're settled into our new apartment and slowly adding pieces of furniture and small touches to create a home. You'll notice up there a picture of our new bed which we love! And our new couch which we got for a GREAT deal on, none other than, Craigslist. The apartment building is too good to be true some days when we're keeping warm in the hot tub and relaxing in the sauna. :) We live in a really great part of town and can walk to everything we need from the grocery store to a number of awesome restaurants and even better pubs! I'll post pictures as more excitement continues! I hope everyone is well! xo
