Well we have made it to Deer Lake for year three. This year with an extra person in tow. Each year we introduce one more person/animal to Deer Lake. First year was Greg and I. Year two was Edgar and this year Sawyer is making her big debut.
On Sunday we started our journey up north bright and early. We woke Sawyer up at 5 am (of course the day she has to be up by 5 she sleeps past it). My parents picked us up and we went to the airport. We were at the airport and through security by 8 am. We got to skip the big security line and go through a quicker line for people with young children. It was really nice. Sawyer was great on the airplanes. She slept most of the way, she only woke up to get fed.
As soon as we got to the airport in Deer Lake, she was passed around the airport to all the different people. It was great to see how many people were excited to see her. We made it to our apartment and went to the store shortly after we arrived.
True to Deer Lake fashion our internet wasn't working when we got here. However, that was quickly fixed and it was up and running by lunch today. Tomorrow evening by dinner we will also have a phone.
Greg started work yesterday. All went well but he has no TA this year. He only has 12 students though and he is strictly the grade 8 teacher.
We have 2 new teachers. One female from New Brunswick who will be teaching grade 9 this year, and a male from Ottawa who will be teaching grade 3. We also found out when we got here that the principal backed out. They couldn't meet the requirements he wanted in his contract. Apparently he wanted one month a week to go home to Peterborough. He was leaving his wife and three kids there. So one of the locals (who has their principal qualifications) has been asked to take over.
Anyways I think that is all for now. Below are some pictures for you to enjoy.
