where we live and what we're doing. catching up: part 3

This is the acreage we are house sitting for the winter. We are here because we are looking for a house to buy and haven't found one yet. There's not much for sale in Birch Hills. But we're having a lot of fun in the yard while we wait for houses to come up for sale. This is a cool looking old barn we can see from the kitchen - although the door has a sign: Danger rat poison! So we haven't checked it out inside.
This is our "street". Tim keeps telling me to call it a road...a grid road! We have a few neighbours near by...they all attend our church!

Here's the field out back, behind all our grass.
We are loving the wagon! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma! We've been on many excursions and Nadia loves to give it a pull, and Colin doesn't seem to mind.
Colin relaxing in the wagon. It was a cool day.
Daddy and Nadia mowing the endless grass. If you live in town and think you have a lot of grass, just remember that it takes 3 or more hours to cut our grass, and it's still growing! Die already! Just kidding - the green grass is awesome to play on!
Our neighbours dog Noah! Nadia loves him so much and the feeling is mutual, which is always good since she likes to sit on him.
Nadia finally put on the dress Auntie Lisa brought her from Thailand! It is so cute and now she just loves it. She always wants to wear it.
An updated shot of Colin and Heavy Baby! Way to go Colin - you're now longer than Heavy Baby!
Colin has been smiling since he was 5 weeks old. He's just such a happy baby! Today Colin is 2 months old and loves to coo and 'talk' and smile. He's sleeping long at night and eating lots during the day! He's great!Tim had a birthday on the 9th. We're now the same age for a while. Nadia and I got him a Bowflex. It came in so many boxes and pieces - I was impressed he could get it set-up. And I'm double impressed that he uses it all the time.
So internet access is still not at our house, but soon - we're hoping! Apparently our new computer is too new to have a dial-up modem. So right now we are working on getting the new modem installed and running.

more gypsy living: catching-up: part 2

At the end of July we headed up to Birch Hills, but the place we were to house sit was not ready, so a very kind couple let us stay at their place for a week. They were actually at the lake, so I guess we were house sitting there too. It was a great place, a lovely house on an acreage with lots of grass and trees. And the coveted orange cat. We found out later that orange cat is actually his name. Nadia had a blast with the cat and playing outside. She is such a farm girl!
Colin did what he does best...sleep!

Gypsy living begins. catching up: part 1

We moved out of our place in Martensville on July 28th. Then we stayed at Grandma & Grandpa's for a few days before heading up to Birch Hills. While there we went out to play in the water and Nadia wanted to give it a try. So we let her at it. The next thing we know we're running for cover because she's learned to aim! Crazy kid.

Were here

Well hello everyone. It's been a while since we had internet and in fact we still don't have our computer set up at home but I thought I'd just give a quick update from work. On Tuesday we finally moved into the place that we will be staying for the next few months and so we have been unpacking our boxes. The move up here to Birch Hills went well and my first Sunday went great, even though the other two Pastors are away on holiday's. There is a lot of stuff to blog about and dozens of really cute pic's of Nadia and a cat and some with frogs (her new favorite) and those will be coming soon. Thank you to all of you who are praying for us and to all of you who helped as well. God has been so good to us throughout this transition and all the things we were stressed about were not really a problem since God had a plan all along. We are now living on a farm about 10 minutes down the grid road from the church. It is older but it is a very nice yard. We will have to adjust to country living but I think it will be fun and I know that Nadia will love it. Well I have to go but there will be more in detail later, keep checking back.

Thanks,
Tim

PS: I am also pleased to announce that this is our 100th blog entry. So for those of you who have been here since the beginning, I just want to say thanks for your support.
