HI everyone. It has been a while. Spring has come and gone (so has the snow). Summer is already past and we are almost done Fall so I thought I better send some photos and give a brief update of events.
Spring was crazy busy. I don't even have any highlights except that Mira and Kate both did well in their respective grades - Mira completed first year of high school and Kate finished grade 3.
Summer arrived and brought us here in the Yukon the best summer we can remember - actually it was as good as 1994 when we came for a few weeks to play and ended up falling in love with the place. Not sure if the fine weather will bring a super cold winter but we will keep you posted.
Summer - Paul worked for a friend's company (all Aussies - great laughs I understand), his own companay and worked on our house. Kate enjoyed both gymnastics and circus camp (highlight for her! - she now hopes to attend Cirque de Soleil circus school in Montreal for her high school - long bus ride each day Kate.) Mira had a great couple of weeks on the river with a conservation camp and loved it. I took some time to do some reading. We also went to Ontario to catch up with family.

First Day of school - Kate
Like the last few autumns, Mira and friends have participated in the Klondike Road Relay - the kids - 8 of them, run from Carcross to Whitehorse, 75 kms. We leave Whitehorse with tunes thumping at 2 am and run/scream until they finish around 10 am this year. They busted all the records this year in speed - we even surprised a couple of check points having arrived so early! It was great fun and lots of laughs.
Before....
Winners of the Youth Category - the Blue Squad Ski Team.
Last big news for the Fall would have to be Kate's birthday- she is still great but no longer eight!

Party central.
So I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy. We are starting to prepare for the white stuff as we see it creep down the mountains surrounding the city; we know it will be here very soon. We are all back into activities and connecting the crazy weeks with somewhat restful weekends.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - we are truly thankful. Sharon
