September and school begins

 After a slow start to our summer weather September has continued to bless us with warm sunny days to enjoy, however there were 2 days recently when it rained all day and I must admit I did enjoy the 2 days of down time at home playing and drinking tea!!!
When we woke up the following morning the snow had covered the tops of the mountains, reminding us that although it is still warm, fall is just round the corner and after our short fall it will soon be winter. Morning temps are in single digits but by noon it is 20 and above. With the change in the air comes change to our routine, we are now leaving a care free unscheduled summer and entering routines of school and activities.

We eventually decided to enroll Heather into our local public school which offers French immersion from Kindergarten. For those of you that know us, know that we have struggled back and forth with the decision, but we are taking the leap of faith and I have a feeling Heather is going to love it. This program is still just half days and this year we were slotted into afternoons, this may be a nice change from last year where every morning was a rush. With just being a half day Heather can still enjoy her activities ,swimming and dance,without becoming too tired and will still be able to spend time playing and interacting with Finlay.

Heather's first day at kindergarten.

Finlay will start a little Waldorf play school one morning a week and a little gymnastics class once a week
