Freedonism - A selfless devotion to making our world what it SHOULD be: allowing independent and collective freedom from oppression, violence, hunger, resource destruction, and other social and environmental injustices that we would be ashamed of if we could only step back and view our world and cultures from the vantage point of a fresh new visitor. -AS&B

Moving & Growing!

We have some big news!

At the end of April 2007, we moved out of the rental world and into the "Oh My God I Own a Condo and have a Mortgage" world. So far, so good. We're living in the vibrant Wellington Village 'hood that feels a little European, with patios, little shops, and a fresh fruit and vegetable market only a couple blocks away. We're in a new green condo building that's more environmentally-friendly than buildings these days usually are. There's also going to be a theatre downstairs to make it a good mix of ecological and cultural. Maybe we can call it our eco-cultural pad, which is perfect, since Brad works in the enviro field and Anne-Sophie in the cultural field!


All right, this is all fine and swanky, but we have even BIGGER news! We're pregnant! Yeah, we admit, Anne-Sophie is doing a lot more of the pregnancy thing, even though Brad is doing really well, talking to The Belly and rubbing it every chance he gets :) Right now, we're just past the half-way point... that means we're due in late October. That's one of the reasons this message is waaaay overdue. Again, apologies. And, no, we don't know what sex it is yet, and yes, we will wait to find out, and yes, we have ideas for names, and no, we won't share them, and yes, we're super pumped and excited! Anne-Sophie has felt a few movements already, like reminders in her belly saying: yes, this is actually happening! Woohoo! Since we thought you'd want to see us, we've uploaded a couple recent pictures of the amazing Expanding Belly.

In other news, Anne-Sophie had her first public art show with her friend Pablo and other artists this winter!

And if you want to see all our photos, you can peruse through our huge photo collection on Flickr. For the new grandparents and others interested, here are the download and print instructions.

We'll update our blog with news or new photos, if we remember.

Looking forward to seeing you soon. Let us know when you want to come by and visit!
