A post that is not about NZ :)

Hi All!

I thought I would do a quick post that is not about our New Zealand trip. But, just to let you know, it was a great trip. :) We've really been enjoying our time back home. Some things never change and then there is always something new to discover. We're loving the time with family and it's been really nice to see the kids warm up to all the grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins! And I was very pleased to have a feed of lobster on the first day of fishing! Thank you to my nephew Mitch. Very yummy.

We do miss Australia though! Especially our great friends. And the weather! Damn, it is chilly here! I didn't bring much for warm clothes because everyone kept talking about the great spring...hmmmm, it's been cold since we got here. There was 1 or 2 warm days but chilly overall. We need time to adjust! :)

We did arrive at a great time of year though. Spring is here which is always nice. And the hockey play offs are on! I missed Ron MacLean!

We arrived in Montreal this afternoon and got settled into our temporary apartment. It's right downtown so it will be very busy I'm sure. I plan to look into school for Shamus this week and daycare for Breagha. And then look for our new home!

We will post some pictures of Antigonish (And Mabou!! Thanks for asking Clo! Mabou rocks too!) but I haven't taken the camera out much since we got home. We have soooo much luggage that I haven't dug for anything in a suitcase unless necessary.

Hope everyone is well. And we'll post again soon!!

We miss you guys too...
It makes it really hard to leave Australia when you're leaving behind such great friends. We kind of feel the same: with very strong mixed feelings-" Happy of being back with family but missing our trips to the beach and barbies together...
We will have to set up a trip once every or two years somewhere in between so we can all can catch up.. I propose Mexico for 2011 or 2012! =) hehe
