Heading East

We are now 27 hours east of Sexsmith, by van.  Winnipeg was a blessing, but we’ve finally made it to the coast.  The coast of Lake Superior, that is.  This is the farthest east we have ever driven.  Thunder Bay is a happening place for those of you who have never been.  Fun parks, old buildings, Tim Horton’s (16 of them), and of course garage sales.  Last but not least, a couple good friends to top it all off.  Nik, Dana and the Fiorito family are great hosts.  Although six young kids can make for quite a party, post-bedtime dips in the hot tub help in the recovery process.  We’re looking forward to a couple more days in ‘the Bay.

A quick personal update:

  

Evrest has been talking more than ever.  Playing the piano with Baba is a treat as you can see.  He also loves being able to be outside and can just barely stand up by himself in the hot tub.

Jovi has been a brave girl, getting some cavities fixed before we left Winnipeg.  She loves picnics, singing songs (“The Servant of Lions” aka “The Circle of Life” from the Lion King) and is getting pretty good at handling mommy’s ipod touch.

Britt enjoys hanging out with Dana, going on excursions, browsing local shops, and reading when she gets the chance.

Jeremy is so close to finishing his online seminary course, he can almost taste it.  He loves playing outside, showing how he stand all by himself in the hot tub. And reading when he gets the chance.

We continue to miss home, but God faithfully blesses and sustains us.
