Delayed Update!

Wow! It's been a while since my last post! A lot has gone one in our little family. This is a pretty major post, lots of pictures! I just went through October, November, & December and made a little slideshow for each month.


We have settled into our new home in London and are doing well. It's been about 2 1/2 months since we made the treck to Canada with our two Penske trucks. We had about 20 guys help us to load them up, which made for a very smooth packing. It's crazy to think we loaded up our entire house in 2 hours! It was wonderful. We arrived in Canada in a blizzard but since January have hardly had any snow, only a couple of dustings. NE has gotten hit so much harder than we have, we haven't even gone sledding!! Bummer!

Things with the business are going well, getting our name out there and networking like crazy in all the hospitals and around the city. We're settling in very nicely, the kids are doing great. There are a ton of kids in our townhouse complex so they are loving that. Other kids come to the door to see if they can come play which is so precious. The parking lot is constantly filled with boys playing road hockey and they love to sit on the steps and watch them. I've connected with some other moms and have had plenty of playdates to get to know them. I got involved in a great bible study at a church here and we are starting to build some relationships there. We miss NE, the friendly midwest is hard to beat, but we are making a new home here in London. We didn't think there would be much culture shock just moving to Canada but there definately has been some adjustments, even for James. I will get some more recent slideshows together but, for now, I thought I would post this one for a little catch up from the past!

All of you that we left, we miss you so very much! We realize now how amazing our community was and how we have been shaped so much in our roles as husband & wife, and mommy & daddy through you all. If you ever want to come to Canada you have a place to stay, we're not too far from Niagara Falls so come on up any time! :) If you do, bring some ketchup and chocolate!!
