Still Here
Wow! This life is so crazy, but exactly what I've always wanted. The kids are in full blown crazy acting season, with Christmas quickly approaching. They are wrapping up stuffed animals, and dressing up like Christmas trees for fun! We are not going to know the real presents from the fake ones. But, it's fun! Yesterday we went to Atlanta and hung out for the day... We went ice skating and rode the horse and buggy around town. It was funny because the buggy driver was trying to talk us into riding and we didn't have enough cash so he drove us to the ATM in the horse and buggy. Not sure how, but all 8 of us fit on a 2 seat buggy... and it worked and was tons of fun! Cameron is doing great, and fits right in with all of us crazies:) Except for the squealing every time he enters the car, he is perfect!
well... maybe not so popular but a few people have been asking why I don't ever update this thing, so I will.
Well, since our Summer has ended it ended with a bang! We got a new addition to our family about 5 weeks ago. We now have temporary custody of my 9 month old nephew which has definitely been interesting. The kids absolutely love him as do we. It is definitely new though packing up a diaper bag, changing diapers, and getting up all hours of the night. I wouldn't change a thing though we love having him.
We made it home! We had a nice trip home, all flights were on time and I was able to sleep most of the way.... Other than getting up at 3AM, I feel pretty recovered. We had a great time in Canada, but there is no place like home. Yesterday we went to Banf and the rocky mountains were beautiful!
Wow! We woke up this morning and it was snowing hard!! Ofcourse, the downside was they had to cancel the festival and we got to take it all down in the freezing weather. We had a good day though, and got to spend some good times with some new friends. I talked to some of the kids today, and everyone is having a great time and no one really misses us all that much... I guess that's a good thing??!! At any rate, all is well on the homefront and even with all of schedule changes, cancellations and crazy weather this trip has been good and I'm reminded more every day of how God is in control and I am not...
Wow today was unbelievable here in Canada!! I think the high got up to about 37 degrees and poured down rain all day long. We did set up for the festival today, but it was less than uncomfortable. Once we had worked for a little this morning, we decided we should go to the second hand store to try and find clothes... since we all mostly brought shorts and t-shirts. We succeeded in finding some warm attire and I came back with a nice warm leopard head wrap which did great for my ears today. The rest of me... well was cold.
Well, we are Canada Bound!! After, plane issues with the weather, being rerouted to another airport, and the flight to Canada being delayed we finally made it Tuesday night. It was a good trip though, other than the fact that airplanes just don't give out snacks anymore. Can you imagine? I was about to starve to death.. Anyway, so far since we arrived in Canada, we have ate, ate some more. Today we are getting ready to go and work. We are going downtown today to help set up for a festival. I have met some really neat people so far, and we are staying in a bed and breakfast that has an awesome family running it. I hear pancakes are on the menu this morning! The time change is throwing me off just a little though, I actually woke up at 5:00 Canada time this morning... Ahhhh!!
