New member and a guest!

As always, there's so much going on here, so much to write about!

I'm currently uploading pictures which is always fun, even if it takes a long time!

So this week, our family is yet again complete!  Luke from a small town near Victoria, BC is with us now!  Unfortunately, he's a terrible person... (just kidding)  All jokes aside, he seems pretty comfortable already and I think he fits in really well with the group.
"No taboo!" our friend, the PLC Denis always used to say.  That still stands within the group, and honestly, I don't think I've ever met a group of people that were so open with each other, which makes me really happy and  I get the feeling that Luke is pretty open-minded as well.

Last night, we also got to have a guest for dinner!  Francoise, the principal at JBES (the school) informed us he was coming the first week when we arrived.  "Someone famous is coming to Chisasibi!" she said.  His name is Nathanial Arcan and he's a main character in Heartland, among other things.  He's kind of a big deal in the Cree community, so it's actually really great that he's here to encourage the students, especially for drama.  (He helped the secondary school film some of a script they wrote)  And he's actually quite modest and does not look nearly his age!  He'd never really heard much about Katimavik, so he was pretty impressed with everything he was learning  about the program. 
And, of course, we had to get a picture with him (to put on the wall of fame for Katimavik, of course!

On the far left is our newest addition to the group, Luke, the little girls near the middle are our neighbours who came to visit and Nathanial is in the back, with his head tilted :P  Julie is missing from this picture because she was in bed sick       Oh, and the big Katimavik thing is our lovely table that was hand painted by another group :)
