Summer is Over

Well it appears we have had our 3 weeks of summer, it was so cold this morning.... I am not ready to face the freezing temperatures again, I feel like I just thawed out.
I will just have to think of the 40+ degrees I will be heading back to in January and the cold wont seem so bad.
For those who don't know, we are heading back to Perth in January 2011.
We have loved our time in Canada but a few things have not worked out for us as planned and we feel it is best for our family to move back to Australia.
Cathy (Noels sister) and her partner Marco are coming for Christmas so we decided to stay till after Christmas and head back in time for the kids to start school in February.
We are excited about returning home but also really looking forward to the rest of our time in Canada.
At the moment there are whales everywhere off the coast - they are amazing to watch.
It is almost blueberry season and we are enjoying a few more camping trips before the camping season closes for the year.
The summer went really fast. This last week Jenna has been doing a summer camp at the YMCA and she has loved it - she is mad she is not going back next week, and every other week. Next week she is actually going to another camp at a friends church so she is looking forward to that one as well. Abby and I have enjoyed the quiet around the house and in true sisterly style as soon as they see each other they are at it again...aah the love!
Jenna starts grade 1 in a few weeks, she ended the year of school a bit anxious and basically 'over it' as she had been in school since January 2009 without more than 2 weeks break, so hopefully she will enjoy going back to school in September. For the first half of the holidays we weren't even allowed to mention the word 'school' with out her freaking out...but she is actually looking forward to it now, I think going to camp has helped.
We have seen some beautiful parts of the Avalon and some of Eastern Newfoundland while we have been here and hopefully we will get a chance to drive further across the island and see some more.

well that is all for now
