In the month of July, already

Happy 12th Birthday to my beautiful little sister.
Today I realised how much she has changed. It feels like only yesterday we were scratching eachother and biting eachother! Love you Katanna!
My big kids turned 12 and 14 in June... my tall handsome son is now just about 6 ft and my tall gangly sweet bluebird KK is wearing mascara. I am filled with joy watching my smart, hilarious and caring children make their way through adolescence. I love spending time with them, they are amazing.
My medium kids finished school for the year, Indy finishing grade 2 with good grades, strong french vocab and solid friends. She was described as a perpetually happy and creative girl with a kind word for each of her fellow students. Her teacher this year was awesome, a male, who lead them through scientific and results based projects and taught them to study outcomes. A city bus trip to the bowling alley in the last week was a blast, even if I couldn't stay out of the gutter. (typical)
My baby boy made it through the most difficult year of his life, Kindergarten. I love my baby so so much, I've spent so much time in the classroom trying to help ground him and keep him on the right track. I'm so fortunate that I work nights and on call that I can be at the school each day. I've been touched by the kids in his class as they grew into independent students this year. I am so thankful for a maternal teacher that spoke to Marlin with love and kindness. We still seek educational support for him next year and we have decided that moving him out of French Immersion would be detrimental to his growth so far. This summer will uncover more information about Mar's health.
Work is good, I love my work girls, our regulars, Nicks virgin mango mojitos. Fire has been incredible, as the Chief posted this morning:
"Wow! busy few days for us. Four structure type calls in the past 8 days. Kitchen fire, licensed marijuana grow operation fire with structural damage, garage fire and smoke in hospital last night (FFs had to break open a wall), vehicle fire a couple of days ago. Add a few first responders and Duty Officer calls and...."
Adam is settling well into his new role of GM at the Naniamo Fastenal store. We have always wanted to live in Naniamo, now that bigger picture isn't so far away. One more year in Comox to establish Marlin's education, and finish up all of my NFPA extras and we will plan accordingly.
In the meantime, the in between time: kids and I are off to the lake in the jeep <3
