One Season Comes To A Close, Another Begins

Hello dear ones! Today is October 3rd, 2010. Baby Girl's official due date. Our lives, as many of you know, have been moving at a steady pace since our move to Canada, and especially since June, when we moved into our new home. These last three months, since our last post, have been rich, full, and fuller still. July was spent at the beach and with friends, as it was Sarnia's hottest summer on record (lovely fun for a pregnant lady, so glad we live by the lake)! August was spent celebrating a wedding of some good friends of ours, and Ezra turned 2 on August 4th. We were blessed to celebrate his big day back in Minnesota with our families. September brought a newness of schedule as the school year began. The students have gotten back into their routines of weekly meetings and retreats with Josh. For myself, all 3 months have inspired a sort of ridiculous nesting urge. Partly due to being pregnant, the other part due to settling into a new home, I have been teetering on the edge of insanity. If you think I'm exaggerating, just ask Josh:) A week ago, my parents arrived from Minnesota in anticipation of the birth and also to lend their talents to helping us get more settled in by painting, building, cleaning, washing, cooking, sheet rocking, playing, biking, reading...the list goes on and on! They have been such a blessing. I'm going to post lots of photos. Hope you have a minute to browse! We should be updating the blog again SOON with more good news:) xo's to you all

Our friend Jocelyn gifted us with an afternoon family portrait session:) Fun to document this season, before it changes. Thank you, Jocelyn!

Must post this one...Ezra is wearing his new Vans, a birthday gift from his Uncle Ben (skateboarder extraordinaire). He calls them his "Uncle Ben Shoes."

Ezra loves to jump! Though this is to document the last day of his baby hair. A blazing mullet.

A boy and his dad.
