Only a couple of weeks since I posted and it feels like so much has happened - time for some bullet points:
- I got a job, I start on Monday for a helicopter company. Full time (gulp) after two years off is a bit daunting but I am sure working is like riding a bike - right?
- Charlie will be the stay-at-home Dad for now, which he is a little bit nervous about. Daycare is hard to come by in Vancouver so we were prepared for Isla to be on a waiting list for 6 months. I went to drop off the cheque on Friday and they found a place for her starting Monday. It is two days a week and means when Charlie gets a job we should not have a problem upping it to full time if we need to. It is the one place I loved - the room is light and bright and airy, loads of activities and I could hardly get Isla out of there when we visited. Plus they have a webcam so we can watch her all day if we want - hurray!
- My Mum and Dad came to visit for their half term, today was a sad day as they left this afternoon, but we crammed so much into this week. We visited the Sunshine Coast and did a couple of great walks up Pender Hill and in Francis Point Marine Park. We walked around Stanley Park, introduced them to great wings, visited Granville Island and they spent a lot of time playing with Isla. Goodbyes are so hard, but it is so nice to spend quality time with them. In England too often it was a few snatched hours on a weekend, while trying to visit so many other friends.
