Home is where the heart is!
13 days until we are home owners! Scary? Yes! Exciting? YES!!!! We can’t wait to finally have a home where we can actually put our hearts into it. We have moved 16 times in 8 years. We can’t wait to finally have a place where we can feel like we are really HOME!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Today is a very special day! It’s a day to recognize the mothers in our lives, their hard work, their devotion and their love. That is especially true in our family. One of Debra’s characteristics that I have truly loved since Canaan was born over six years ago is her incredible devotion and love towards [...]
Family Self Portrait
Every now and then we snap a family pic. We always make Norm take them… since he has the best aim and the longest arms. =) Here is our latest attempt… Not the best but not too bad and we are all in it and looking at the camera. We have truly come a [...]
Canaan lost his first tooth!
Canaan is sooooo excited. After wiggling his loose tooth for nearly a month it finally came out. He was so incredibly excited. He very excitedly put his tooth under his pillow waiting for the tooth fairy to come and give him money. If you ask him who the tooth fairy is he will very proudly [...]

32 days!
Thirty two! 32! Trente-deux! XXXII! Yep thats right! 32 days until we board a plane to Canada. I am having a little bit of writers block even trying to describe how we feel about that. Pretty much every possible thing! Stressed, too much to do, excited, relieved, sad, happy, scared, thrilled, and “Is this really [...]
A Strange Christmas
This year things are a bit different for us. We are preparing to move out of our apartment and even more than that we are preparing to move back to Canada. Its been a true emotional roller coaster for us and we decided that this year we would celebrate a little differently than a typical [...]
Decorating contest
A few days ago we were invited to be a part of a jury to judge the kids classrooms at school. They had a Christmas decorating contest. They all worked very hard to decorate their classrooms as well as they could. We were very honored to be asked to come be a part of the [...]
