Tyler Harrison Farbstein was born at 9:10 a.m. on July 28. Honestly, my wife Lyla was an absolute star! Of course, he decided to come four weeks early while we were at the cottage so a long drive on the 400 in a thunderstorm at night was needed to get back to Toronto. As most of you know me well, you can imagine that this was not a calm hour and twenty minute drive for me but Lyla was so calm. A quick stop at home to get the car seat and o to the hospital. A short labour the next morning and he was here. I cannot wait to see how caring and wonderful of a mother Lyla will be. I also cannot wait to embarrass Tyler as muchas I can and spout all of my horrible dad jokes I have been telling everyone for the past 11 years at school.k MICHELLE LEITER k MICHAEL SCHMIDTDave and I are thrilled to share theRoya and I are pleased to news that on Wednesday, August 5introduce everyone to Winnie at 10:55 p.m. we welcomed JonahZuzu Aziz Schmidt!

In September, we started our cross-country drive with all our essen-tial belongings in an F150. We drove across Canada to Vancouver Island and did a sea kayaking trip similar to what the Grade 11s do for Fall OE. The best part is, we came practically face to face with a pod of orcas!!We then bought a travel trailer and lived out of it until December. We drove down the entire west coast from Vancouver to San Diego. During that time, we spent a lot of time suring on the ocean and hiking in the Redwood forests. We headed north from San Diego and landed back in Fernie, B.C. En route we hit as many American national parks as possible, including Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canyon. We stayed in Fernie for the ski season and had a lot of fun on the slopesit was a wicked powder season! I also did some supply teaching while out in BC and completed an Additional Qualiication course.We went to Costa Rica in early March, planning to stay for six weeks, but only stayed 10 days due to the COVID19 pandemic. So, we went back to Fernie and spent the spring mountain biking, hiking and camping.In June, we drove back home across the country, stopping at Yoho, Ban and Jasper National Parks. It was the best year ever, but I am super thrilled to be back and Im really looking forward to connecting with my students and Advisees this year. I missed the sta a lot too!20 evergreen Oct. 2020GRWD206_Evergreen_2020_v5.indd 20 10/9/20 4:59 PM'
