Hey there everyone! Just wondering how everyone with new Kindergarteners is doing so far down there in LB. Our experience this year with P is VERY different from last year with C, in terms of how schools do things here. Very interesting.
And how is it going at the CDC? At first it seemed everyone was kind of down about it. Has it improved/settled down? Are you missing the way it used to be?
Still feeling a bit lonely up here in Calgary (although we have made friends with one neighbour family and even got invited to watch the hockey game at their house on Sat. night -- can't get more Canadian than Hockey Night in Canada, beers and pizza!!) The fact that the kids take the bus and that my police check for volunteering is taking forever (so I can't be in the classroom yet) has definitely been a little isolating. I'm hoping that will change soon. N and I are taking a Spanish for Parents class once a week, which is fun.
Some of you know that I came down with appendicitis 2 weeks ago and had to have surgery ... BOY DID THAT MAKE ME MISS ALL MY MOMMY FRIENDS IN LB!!! (Not that I wasn't already missing everyone a lot!) Luckily my mom was coming out to visit and just moved up her trip by a couple of days to come and help. Not sure what we would have done without her. (She stayed for a week.) I'm on the mend, but still have to try to take it easy. Since N's work hours are INSANE at the moment, it has been a bit of a challenge to keep everything together.
Anyway, I hope this finds everyone well and that Fall is going ok for you. It is already in the negative temps (Celsius) here at night and sometimes very chilly during the day and other days warmish. It is dark when we walk to the bus in the morning, just before 8. Eventually it will be dark when the kids go to school and when the come home.... Should be interesting! At least it is quite sunny most days though.
Missing everyone!

So, after our bout with the "Poison Foo-Goo" (don't ask, it involves lots of barf), a bee-sting and yes, an ear-infection all IN ONE WEEK! Fia now has some random irritation in her eye that recently hosted a stye...(karma? what did I do, was it the sharpies?)
