It is now March 2017. Olivia is playing hockey, Miah ringette and Loc is swiming. I went from the Air Force, to IMP Aeropsace, and now to Iriving Shipbuilding.

OK, so having looked at the blog after about 5 years I realized how cool it was to keep the story going.

Catch Up
OK I'm so far behind I'm never going to catch up so I'm going to try to pick a few moments from each month instead.
In October we headed down to the Valley for Thanksgiving. We had dinner with my parents and my sister's family. We went apple picking and pumpkin picking, and for a lovely walk in the research station too. We then had so many apples we ended up having a mini factory to deal with them: pies, dumplings, apple sauce and more. The kids also had their first Canadian Halloween that they remember. They had a great time and ate candy for weeks. We also raked leaves for the first time in three years. I had a lot of help but most of it was destructive rather than constructive. The kids had a blast!
November brought more activities, hockey tournaments, parades and Olivia's birthday. Olivia and I continued playgroup and swimming and I started skating with both girls for the first time. They love it and we go once a week now. Lochlan had a hockey tournament at the Metro centre and it was a fun day for the whole family. We also went to the Bedford Light Up which kicked the Christmas season off. Olivia's birthday was a skating party with my family followed by food and drinks. She had a fabulous time and she was the last one off the ice after an hour and a half!
That brings us to December which has been a swirl of parties, concerts and more. Mark hit the big 35 and we celebrated at his DND Christmas party which happened to be the same night (haven't downloaded any pics yet). We are looking forward to the arrival of Mark's parents next week for Christmas. I am finally done my shopping and only have a few other things to finish getting ready. The kids are uber excited and it should be a wonderful time this year.
Hope all is well you! L

Back in Canada
We're back and settling in. The move was relatively uneventful(thankfully)and our stuff only took three weeks to come.
About a month after we landed we headed out west to catch up with Mark's family. It had been three years and it was great to see everyone. Mark's parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary party with a big bash so we had a great time partying it up with everyone. We headed to the Lake of the Prairies where although the weather wasn't great we had fun with camp fires, a bit of tubing, water skiing and fishing, and of course more visiting. We finished our visit in Oakbank with Mark's brother and family at their new home. We went to a beach not far from their place at a lovely provincial park, did some hot tubbing and the kids had so much fun with their cousins (the entire trip), definitely the highlight for them I think.
We are now back in our new home and loving it. Mark's Mom came for a visit and was a great help getting us organized. We still have some stuff to finish around the house but it is mostly nitpicking now. Mark is enjoying his new job at Shearwater and is starting to find his groove. Lochlan has started school is settling in. Miah loves her new preschool even more than old one and wishes she could go everyday and Olivia is kicking it at home with me. Miah and Lochlan have started music lessons for the first time and are loving it. It's a really great program aimed at making it fun for young kids (what a novel idea) and they actually enjoy practicing. Something I never did! Lochlan will also start hockey this weekend. We have sorted all his gear and it should be fun to watch, he's quite excited. I am getting my bearings and getting on top of the new schedule. Although I plan to look for work eventually I think I'll give it a bit of time to let everyone get settled and start slowly to figuring out for what and where to look.
So that's us in a nutshell. Hope everyone is healthy and happy! Some pictures of our adventures below:
