I write this entry looking out over Avonlea, the dream come true, the place we now call home. It's incredible that we made it. I'm so so grateful.
Goodbyes are Such Sweet Sorrow
“A little town of no consequence to anyone, except those fortunate enough to have lived in it.”

High Five
Our little boy is five! In all the chaos of mummy returning from a trip to Canada and only a week out from moving house we paused it all to celebrate Quill turning five. Quill is friend to all and a bit too popular to have a to pick a handful of friends, so instead he invited all the kids on our street and everyone at preschool to his big five birthday bash at the Bungendore Park. And they all came! They have a great time running themselves ragged on the play equipment and returning periodically for snacks.
Return to Canada
Halifax holds half of my heart and earlier this year the longing to return got strong. I've always wanted to go back in a general sense, Levi and I talk all the time about taking all the kids and sharing it with them, but I started to feel like I really needed to get back there myself and sooner to feel whole again. Levi as always finds a way. We were able to use his frequent flyer points and next minute I was booked in and making plans. I was going to be able to see all my favourite people, do all my favourite things, eat all of my favourite food and just exist in a place that I love.
