UPDATE

February has been a crazy month!
Brandon is at school until 4:30pm and it's dark soon after so we do not have so many photo's of him but we'll try to get some soon.
School is a challenge for Brandon but he is trying to get his grades up this quarter by going to school an hour before it opens to get his work done or re-do work he missed or did not pass the first time.

Caitlin and Patrick just had their 100th day of school for the year and are already talking about summer break. Patrick is about to sit the State tests which begin Monday.

Nina has three weeks left of this term. So far all "A's" but PE is the biggest challenge (can you believe it!) She is taking Tai Chi (not so bad) but Kombatan (Phillipino Martial Arts) is quite the challenge. Lots of fighting with sticks. Tuesday she was all but knocked out when her stick bounced off her 300lb 6 foot opponents stick and hit her in the head!

Kevin just returned from a whirl wind trip to Halifax, St John, Montego Bay, Atlanta, Toronto, Halifax again and home. He was gone for two weeks and by the time he returned, we all got sick.
That's all for now. Wish you all well.




Natural Wonders




The kids were very excited this week. We had an incredible lunar eclipse then a glorious rainbow!

Kids Play



The sun fought off the horrid black rain clouds and won today! I got some well derserved vitamin D whilst the kids played at the park.


The kids thought it was summer in contrast to the cold we have had lately. (It was only 10 degrees celcius.)

We went to Fields Park and the kids played basketball but the big favourite was the tire swing. Pat likes to swing the girls so hard and fast that he falls over.
