Beautiful Gift
This evening we were invited over to Mario and Lise’s place for dessert. It was a great evening. While we were there they said there was another reason for inviting us over. Lise had painted us an absolutely gorgeous painting as a going away gift! We were very surprised and love it! We can’t wait to hang it in our new house.
Glad that part is done!
We got back from our house hunting trip yesterday. Overall things went really well. We saw 9 houses in one evening.
A little Badminton Fun…
This past week Etienne went to the school to play badminton with a couple of the teachers and his boss.
and yet ANOTHER great Northern Purchase…..
Now that the foodmail program is over, I have told Etienne to buy any and all decent (non-spoiled) produce he sees at the store. He has come home with a couple interesting (produce and non-produce) purchases.
So, it’s official!
I always knew when we moved up here that our time would come to move. I just didn’t realize that it would come this soon!
The Globe and Mail: The Trials of Nunavut
Today Etienne showed me this article he read from the Globe and Mail. I had a chance to read through it today. It is a really long article, but definitely worth the read.
It’s about the History of Nunavut and an explanation of why the territory is plagued with social and economical issues. There really isn’t a lot of finger pointing or someone trying to save the world in it. It is more information of what the journalist found while traveling through the territory interviewing different ranks within society.
Fox Trap Island
Yesterday we decided to take Cisco and her buddy Siku for a run with the snowmachine out to Fox Trap Island. It was a little cooler than the past week or so, but it was still nice to be able to get out for a bit. I think the dogs were thankful to get out and stretch their legs. I think we should have ran them a little more. They were leading us all the way home….They still had an amazing amount of energy. It is just a km or so from town out on the sea ice. We drove out there, walked around a took a few pictures.
Young at Heart Hockey Tournament
This past weekend Chester hosted the Women’s Young at Heart Hockey Tournament.
Picky Eater?
Since Cisco was a puppy she’s always been a messy eater. I thought this would be something that she’d eventually stop.
Us
The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.
