\"its-winter.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s official. The snow is here and it’s staying! We woke up to a beautiful white winter wonderland this morning. I always say this about the first snow of the year. My tune changes by March! but today it is a lovely soft drifting snow and the temperature is only -2 so I don’t mind.<\/p>\n

I caught the flu that Tim had and so have been out of commission for 2 days. Yesterday, Tim stayed home from work in the morning to look after Edz\u00e8a and let me sleep\/rest and in the afternoon Tracey took Edz\u00e8a to let me sleep for the afternoon too. This seems to have helped as I am left just a bit weak today with a sore throat. Luckily Edz\u00e8a hasn’t caught it or she had it last week and passed it along to Mom and Dad which is more likely.<\/p>\n

So, we attended the Halloween party on Monday afternoon at our post-natal class. Edz\u00e8a isn’t overly fond of her Halloween costume. My camera batteries were dead when we got there so I don’t have any pictures. I will take some on Halloween. There is only so much torture that I can put my child through! I met a woman who asked me if her name was Dogrib when I told her Edz\u00e8a’s name??!! That was a first! Only in the North. It turns out that if she had had a girl she was going to name a daughter Sedze\u00e8 (pr.Zedzay) which means “my heart”. This is what my Dogrib friends call Edz\u00e8a as a pet name. Strange but true. It will probably be the first\/last\/only time that happens!<\/p>\n

Here’s a daily dose of Edz\u00e8a pics for the day:<\/p>\n

That’s all for now. Oh, her latest tricks are: 1. She gives wet slobbery kisses 2. She likes biting…not fun for me I’m telling you!<\/p>\n

Also just for fun: Signs That You’re Becoming a Yellowknifer<\/strong> (borrowed from an online forum) to help you get into the spirit of what it means to live in the Arctic!!!<\/p>\n

\n9. When people talk about an early breakup, you know they’re not referring to the fact your partner slept with your best friend 2 weeks into your relationship.

\n15. When you drop the word “minus” to describe temperatures in mid-winter because everyone knows what you mean. ie. “Hey, let’s go ice fishing. It’s only 25 today.”
