We Are Still Here

I thought I better just post that we are still alive here in Manitoba. We got home from Alberta this past Wednesday and have been busy getting last minute details ready for SOLID. It starts today. It's hard to believe it is actually here, and time to start leading it. We are excited to meet the students coming, and seeing what God is going to do through us all. So you won't be hearing from us for another 2 weeks. Talk to you then:)

Alberta Trip

We are in Alberta these days spending time with LeRoy's family. We arrived here on Friday in time for supper, and our girls traveled amazingly well. Emma slept almost the whole drive on Thursday, and only started getting too antsy when we had about an hour left to go. Brooklyn of course had her moments, but did much better than we expected. We took our back seats out of the van so we had a little room back there to sit with her, and to have her potty. Never thought I would have a porta potty in my van:) hehehe She sure didn't mind.

There's also some new pics from our Grand Forks trip a couple weeks ago. Just click on our slideshow to the right to see them. I'm now off to have a nap while the boys are all out golfing for the afternoon, and my girls and mom are sleeping.

We've Moved

We are now officially moved into my parents, we just have to clean our house yet tomorrow. It's definitely hit that we're out of our own place. Another huge step closer to leaving. Anyway, I don't want to think of that right now. If you want to reach us, you can call us at my parents, or email us and we can give you the number.

We just enjoyed a beautiful lunch with our church at the park. A yummy "disco"...the food not the dance. Now us girls are back at home for nap time, and LeRoy went off with the youth to Lilac for their windup. Couldn't have picked a nicer day to swim. We may even set up the sprinkler later on to cool off.

Making Memories

This past weekend we took a little holiday to Grand Forks. It was amazing. We had so much fun getting away from our stresses of life, and spending time as a family. We left first thing Saturday morning, and came home around supper on Tuesday. From the time we left Steinbach I hardly thought of SOLID or the fact that we're moving today. On Monday my family came too, to spend a day with us there. We shopped, swam, played at one of their many parks, shopped some more, and had to get a new battery for our van as it died on us in the park. All worked out in the end and we had a very relaxing (as relaxing as it can be with a toddler) weekend.

Today we are moving. So many emotions to deal with. We loved this house, and are having a hard time realizing that tomorrow it will no longer be our home. Last night we cried many tears as it has hit us quite suddenly. We kinda wished we had never said yes to all that we're going into. But then we look back over the years and see what has all brought us to this point and it all makes more sense to why we're moving. We haven't really had time to prepare ourselves for this, just the little bit that we've tried to prepare Broooklyn. But we need to finish packing mostly before supper. We plan on at least getting all the big stuff out of here while we have help tonight. My mom is taking Brooklyn for us during the day so we can get more done. Unfortunately we have a couple meetings this morning to deal with first, one being Emma's 4 month needles. I sure hope she takes them okay, as adding a sick baby to our life right now wouldn't be the funnest. Well, off to packing. Hope you are all enjoying the beginnings of your summers.
