What an amazing summer this has been. My daughter and I spent 22 days driving from the west coast of Canada to southern Ontario, stopping along the way to visit with friends and sight see. Packing the car was a combination of Tetris and pick-up-sticks by the end of the journey, and we still have yet to clean off the dust from the nooks and crannies of the van. So many stories and memories. What a great transition from one life to the next.
We have been in Oakville, our new city, for 16 days. Our home, remarkably, is even nicer than the pictures suggested. Caroline had a week of gymnastics camp, giving me a bit of time to get settled. This past week we mostly went out, visiting with friends for two days, first at the Ontario Science Centre and then at Centreville, a great amusement park for younger children on Toronto's Centre Island. Wednesday we puttered, and on Thursday we took a road trip to the shore of Lake Erie to visit a friend and frolic in the sandy waves of the great lake. Finally, yesterday was the day to visit the new school, find out where the washrooms are, and get information about the classroom and the school bus. So now it is Labour Day weekend, the last free days of summer. Time to find out exactly how much Caroline has grown, get some new clothes, and get ready for the rhythms of the new year.
