I was kind of surprised when 18 months slipped by without me really noticing. I knew it was coming up, and then suddenly it had passed. I don’t feel badly about missing that anniversary and a half. To me it’s an indication of the relatively smooth cycle we’re in. The big events are fewer and farther between. Now it’s a lot of little steps. A new word or sign, showing understanding of things, starting to share toys, and so on.
It’s been a busy time since my last post. We’ve picked up everything, and moved to Dawson, Yukon. I had an interesting job opportunity that was worth relocating for. There were some concerns moving out here. While there is a small clinic, there’s no hospital. They’re building one, but until it’s completed the nearest one is a 5-6 hour drive away. There aren’t as many opportunities for them out here. There are a couple of play groups during the week. Fortunately it looks like there was a bit of a baby boom a while back, so there are other children near their age around, and other parents to talk to. Another concern is the future. Dawson is a small town, one that’s very far from a large city. I worry about their opportunities here. I was exposed to a lot as a kid, and it had a significant impact on who I am today. For now though, we’re happy here, and we’ll deal with those issues later.
Kim’s preparing lunch, and the kids need a bit of distracting while she does that. I’ll catch up with you all more later. Sorry there’s no pictures today, I’ll try to have some for my next post.
