Garrett is making friends as well and is LOVING school. He loves his teacher and his favorite part of school is recess and show and tell. He is amazing us everyday with his memory. Last weekend, Patrick took the kids to the Terry Fox Run (google Terry Fox ESPN to see a video on him). Terry Fox was a Canadian who ran across the country with an above knee amputation and prosthetic leg. Well, the day after the run, Patrick told the kids he wanted to show them a video of Terry Fox and Garrett said, "We talked about him at school today. He had a robotic leg. Just like Winter. He had a robot tail." Patrick and I looked at each other wondering what he was talking about... He was talking about the new movie Dolphin Tale about the dolphin that learns to swim with a prosthetic tail.

Toronto Update
Well, we are finally settling in after about 3 months (9 months to go, not that we're counting...). Caroline is making friends and is feeling more comfortable with recess and lunch, which had her pretty anxious for a bit. Her favorite part of school is math and art. She started a pottery class today and went right in. We keep reminding her of all of the new things she's trying and that she has fun. Both kids start soccer on Wednesday. :)

Quick visit home
We went home to Indianapolis over Labor Day weekend to say goodbye to Patrick's little sister, Kathleen. Kathleen left on Sept. 7 to go to Eldoret, Kenya for a year. We wanted to see her before she left, so, we decided to make the trip home. It was actually shorter than the drive from MN to IN. :)
Great Granddaddy (getting ready to go ride along with Patrick on the golf course)
Caroline and Garrett with Woodchuck Steve!
First day of school...
Caroline had her first day of Grade 1 (Canadian term) on the Tuesday after Labor Day. She was a bit anxious, but, ended up having a good day and met some new friends. Garrett started on Thursday and he walked right in and was all smiles. He said he was a good listener and a good boy at school. :) I am excited to have us all in a routine...
