Quick Update

Oh it has been a crazy fun two weeks. I guess we are finally starting to feel more at home here. S had two play dates at our house. She had fun and I think it has helped her to feel more comfortable at school. I have been trying to set up one per week. Also, she is back at gymnastics and loving it. I have her on a waiting list for swimming lessons and a closer gymnastics school. Her reading is really starting to come on.

We have been entertaining. We had friends (a family of 5) over for dinner. It was a great night. It was nice to connect with another family. We had a co worker of VW’s for dinner as well. She is a real sweetheart and brought the most beautiful bouquet.

I attended the AGM (PTA) meeting and had drinks with several parents afterward. I joined the committee and will volunteer at the school disco in October. Grades 1-3 have a disco from 6-7 pm on a Friday night and grades 4-6 follow afterward. Apparently, the 4 discos are one of the main highlights for the kids during the year.

S had school pictures and I can’t wait to see them. We have had a couple of picnics and hikes trying to enjoy the past week without rain. Additionally, we attended a kid’s birthday party. They hired a jumpy castle, so the kids had lots of fun.

We are also excited because the K family is coming to visit in a few weeks. We can’t wait! When they leave it will be hard to say goodbye, but we are very lucky that their visit is followed by our trip to the Canary Islands. We plan to spend a week soaking up the sun on an island off the coast Spain.

X, then S and finally me all had the stomach flu this past week. I have spent all of today cleaning and washing. I only hope VW has been skipped. What a nightmare.

Always!
