It’s hard to imagine that I’ve sent this girl off to school four Septembers now (five, if you include preschool)! She’s already doing the math on how many years until she’s in middle school. And when I think of how it feels like yesterday that Marc and I were married, and when I think that [...]
Take a good look at this picture. Looks pretty normal. Three kids (who’ve decided to sit on about 1/3 of the couch) watching a little television. Yep. Nice and normal. Except that little girl in the pink shirt there, at that very moment, has a broken collar bone!
Yes. There has been some unforeseen excitement in [...]
Tomorrow at this time we’ll be nearing the east coast of the United States, making our way towards the Atlantic Ocean and at 1pm London time (which I think is about 5 or 6am Saskatchewan time), we’ll be landing at Heathrow. Off we go, indeed.
I wonder if it’s going to hit me that I’m leaving [...]
I’m trying to keep myself together here. I go from feeling like the course work is under control to thinking that I have no time and that I really have no clue what I’m doing — coming up with an assessment and treatment plan for two specific crisis/trauma situations? Really?! Me? I don’t really want [...]
I am wiped out today. Part of that is from that little impromptu run I did last night. I stretched and stretched after I got home, but within a half an hour that part of my back that hurt so much when I tried the treadmill at the gym in September was hurting terribly. I [...]
The day we stated the drive home we took the kids to the Enchanted Forest. We were going stop there on the way to BC, but it started pouring rain as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. We definitely made the right choice going on a beautiful, sunny day. All of the kids were at [...]
We’re home. We got in last night at around 11:30pm (after 3 days of driving 2,000km through 4 provinces). Marc’s old treeplanting buddy who lives in Ireland is in Winnipeg until Tuesday. So that meant that Marc set the alarm for 7am this morning to meet up with his friend for breakfast at 8am. (He [...]
Canada Day in Summerland. We went to the local park to watch the Legion raise the flags and listen to a few speeches. Stockwell Day was there (without his jet ski) and Olivia got chased by the bagpipe marching band on her way back from getting a balloon. She started crying as soon as the [...]
… you’ve got to buy an $18 dingy.
We’ve had two days at the beach so far this trip, with hopefully many more to come. I really do love it here.
I even got in the water today!
Presentation day! It went really well. I kept my top on (and, yes, Marc did send me a text message asking me if I did). My partner and I both had connections to Haiti. People her family knows were in Haiti at the time of the earthquake and we showed clips of a video of [...]
