I sit by the open fire looking back on the year
\nAnd wonder how we arrived to be here.<\/p>\n

The year started out much as to be expected
\nWith snow and cold weather and the family somewhat disaffected
\nMichele with her work and Imbaw with Saskatoon
\nIt was clear that a change was needed, and soon!<\/p>\n

We engaged in some skiing to pass the time
\nA week at Big White, then Easter at Sunshine
\nIt was great turning moguls with Dad and close friends
\nBut the bigger issues, alas, these trips did not mend<\/p>\n

Then looking East in the Spring, opportunities arose
\nAnd amidst Storer family visits and Michele\u2019s piano exam throes
\nWe painted and tiled and listed the house, phew!
\nAnd sold two boats, a trailer and a Subaru too<\/p>\n

To friends and family we bid a fond farewell
\nDriving to Ottawa in August, where we now dwell
\nNat in Grade one immersion, and Thomas in grade three
\nMichele biking to 100 Sussex and Imbaw engaging the new communities!<\/p>\n

We are very well and wish you all a wonderful year in 2015!<\/p>\n

Michele, Thomas, Nathaniel and Imbaw<\/p>\n

Photo was taken at Owl Cabin on Weber Pond in December. Nat was stellar keeping up on the hour long uphill ski in!  Bodes well for the coming winter.  You can click on the photo to see a larger version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
