Another Phase Coming To An End
We’re hard at work packing away for our move to California in a few weeks! We received word that our apartment application was approved, it’s very exciting and we are excited to get down there. Canaan has been spending a lot of time at his grandparents, they want to get as much of him [...]
Read onPart III – December 2008 Newsletter
Over the last two months we sent out Part one and two of our three part series. Here is part three! In this issue you can read a little about Emmaus and Finances (I know, a lovely topic these days). The brochure version was mailed out a couple of weeks ago, if you regularly receive [...]
Read onOur Last Family Christmas (for quite some time)
Our blog has been quiet for the last week, we’ve been spending a lot of time with family as our last few weeks in Canada dwindle away. We had all been looking forward to this Christmas, particularly my parents. All three grandsons (Canaan, Emmaus and Noah) would be together. We spent Christmas day at Colin [...]

Read onFour Week Checkup
We’re up in Owensound and just finished Emmaus’ four week checkup. He’s doing awesome and the midwives were very excited to see him, the last time they saw him be was very black and blue. When he was born he weighed 9lbs 1 ounce, and today? 11lbs 5 ounces!
He’s had a lot of gas to [...]
A Very Quick Answer to Prayer
We received an exciting email today!
We are planning on leaving for California mid January but getting Emmaus registered and applying for his birth certificate and then US and Canadian passports before then seemed an impossible task. The night Emmaus was born I filled out his birth registration form, hoping to turn it in the next day. I [...]
Adjustments
For me, I’d say it was a bigger adjustment after Canaan was born (being our first) than it has been with Emmaus. That said, there still have been plenty of crazy moments and things to adjust to. I look at large families with many children and think that it can be only one of two [...]
Read on3 Weeks Old
Today marks the end of Emmaus’ third week! We’ve enjoyed watching him grow and become a part of the family. One of the best parts is watching Canaan interact with him. Canaan adores Emmaus and is genuinely concerned if Emmaus is crying or upset. We have to keep an eye out though because Canaan is [...]
Read on“Bye bye two Greggs!”
Last night (or this morning, hard to tell which right now) I had the pleasure of taking our friend Jon Coe to the airport. Our airport trips are not usually short trips, they typically involve crossing the boarder into the US! The Toronto airport is only an hour and a half from here [...]

Same position, same outfit, same age! Different babies! =) Emmaus has much less hair than Canaan and one big difference we have noticed are their ears! Canaan got the cute Copeland ears and its looking like Emmaus got the Rutledge ears. This picture doesn’t show it off but Emmaus is nearly 1o lbs and at [...]
