Hard to believe we are at this stage but we are and it is going awesome.
Even though all good now, the start of school was delayed for everyone in BC due to a province-wide teachers strike. While we believed in the teachers’ stance, it was a source for frustration for all involved. In the end it actually worked in our favor though…
Being out of catchment due to living in a different area, our hope to attend a school where Claire & Rhys’ preschool friends were was low. Due to the time it took to dissolve, said strike pressured some families to delay enrollment, start home school or attend private school. Fortunately for us, this opened up spots for us to claim and we did so with fervor!

Our family’s transition into full-day kindergarten has gone well. The kids have adapted decently although they are pretty tired by day’s end. Jimmy’s time with the kids lent itself to spontaneity and flexibility both in mood and scheduling. Our new “9 to 5” life is still a work in progress but we all enjoy the fresh independence, growth, change and early start to the day -well maybe not Deanna (not a morning person).
