God’s Design
Bar none, Canaan’s most commented on feature is his eyes. Very rarely can we get through a store without someone mentioning it and ‘what beautiful blue eyes!’ was one of the first phrases we learned in Québec. Debra has hazel eyes and I have brown eyes which always catches people’s interest when they see Canaan’s [...]

We’ve been in our temporary home for about 3 days now, busily unpacking arranging and often fixing. I arrived home this evening from a meeting and found a bouquet of fresh cut flowers on our door step! There wasn’t any sort of note but we feel very welcomed to our neighbourhood. The house we live [...]

We are in Illinois attending a family reunion for Deb’s dad’s family. The Rutledge family has a lot of history in this area, in fact, Debra’s ancestor Ann Rutledge was engaged to Abraham Lincoln though she died of typhoid before they were married. We visited the Lincoln museum which for me was very interesting (I [...]

Before we were even expecting Canaan, his name was chosen so we really never had to search and think about names. Until now! This time we have no idea what to name the baby. We had decided to wait until the ultrasound to even begin so that we would only have one gender to focus [...]

Sometimes Debra and I like to search for pictures of Guinea and see what we can find. I found a Guinea group on Flickr and soon came upon the following photo. Debra glanced at it and said, ‘wow, that is a pretty big dog!’ Then I pointed out that the poor animal in the trunk [...]

My uncle left yesterday with all of our stuff, all we have left are a few pairs of clothes, the computers, some books and some of Canaan’s toys. So, what do you do when you are BBQing, it starts raining and you don’t have any coats? You search the cupboards and use what you can [...]

Sorry for our lack of posting the last couple days, it’s been insane around here! Exams are in progress and I have 4 out of 8 finished. Last night we enjoyed the ‘FLE Spectacle’. It is the end of the year event for the French program at the University of Laval. It was basically a [...]

I suppose that I should consider myself lucky since my dad starting going gray in his early twenties, but it is starting. Debra has found a few grey hairs on the back of my head before but I couldn’t see them so I quickly forgot about them. This one stared me in the face yesterday, [...]
Read onRecord Snowfall?
Last night we endured the second snow storm of the week. While there wasn’t an incredible amount of snow fall the winds were vicious causing huge drifts and no visibility. We set up my computer for the night on top of a shelf infront of the patio doors (pictured left) to record the view of [...]
