Back in the Northern Hemisphere






Well, we made it back. We've been back almost a month now, busily adjusting to life back home. We spent about ten days at Rob's parents' place on Lake McMurray. Rob left for fishing on Father's Day. The kids really loved being able to run around the yard and play outside all day long. We had quite the excitement one night when a transformer blew just in front of the house. We got to watch the firetrucks and firefighters secure the scene and finally the power company bucket truck fix the problem. Bennett was in heaven!!
We moved to Victoria at the end of June and settled into our temporary accommodations. Joelle's parents and nieces arrived on July 1st to help out while Joelle started work. The kids have loved having all this family around. We've been to the beach and even took a ferry ride to SaltSpring Island. They've been a huge help as Joelle has been trying to find more permanent rental housing (which she did) and an office to set up (not yet found). Work is going well. It's been a good return. We are looking forward to Rob's return when we can start making more permanent plans.
