Hello there, I haven't written an update in a few days...we have just been so busy. Well, I should clarify some, I have been busy, poor Amy has been quite bored. I must start by telling you about our beach experience last Saturday. Amy had been invited to a birthday party for the daughter of one of the teachers at the school and her mother had invited me to go along as well. The beach is probably 10kms outside of town and the way in which I got out there was definitely a new mode of transportation for me...I went by quad!!!!! There were a few times that I thought I was going to die, but we did eventually make it out to the beach. Now I hope I can paint a clear enough picture for you so that you will understand...to our back is the Tundra...flat, lichen everywhere, muskox are roaming around, and really nothing manmade for miles and miles. In front of us is the Northwest Passage...now here is this body of water that I had heard about all my life, a body of water that men have died trying to find and some dying once they have found it...just amazing. And, here is Kelly in the middle of all this with 2, not 1 but 2, winter jackets, a pair of mitts, splash pants over my pants, and a winter hat (one of the ones with the ear flaps)...just another beach day here in Nunavut! It actually was an amazing time. I met a few other teachers, one being Amy's teacher ( a very nice person and happens to be from Newfoundland). So, after a few hours of this, I have had enough and go home (in a truck), meanwhile, my 12 year old daughter goes onto another party where she stays until 11 or so and then goes to her first sleepover...we have only been here 4 nights!!!! She had a blast and then went to church the next morning, I am hoping that one has nothing to do with the other! I have more to write, but I have to for lunch, so if there is time this afternoon I will catch up...I promise...until then - take care of each other and we love you!
