We are back in Canada. We arrived Saturday afternoon, and have been busy getting ready to go back to our normal routine.
We enjoyed our time spent with family. I have tons of pictures to share, and I have posts set to auto publish for the next week (or more).
We were very encouraged by the cards, letters, and gifts that we received over our break. It is such a great reminder of all the people who are supporting and encouraging us along the way. If it were just Stephen and I doing this we would have never made it this far. We are grateful to have a whole team of people who are ready to help and uplift us each step along the way.
We had Ian's birthday yesterday (my how the time has flown-- he is halfway to being an adult!) Some neighbor's came down and had supper with us. I took time out of the unpacking, laundry, etc to make some homemade soup and pita bread-- and of course, rice krispy treats for Ian. We enjoyed the time spent talking with them and relaxing for a little while.
We received our schedule for the semester this morning. There will be two intermediate classes, which is a huge answer to prayer for us. Right now, Stephen is in the morning class, and I am in the afternoon. We are going to try to switch that, but if we can't it will be OK.
Stephen and the kids are outside playing in the snow for a little while, and I am going back to the almost finished tasks of laundry and unpacking. :)

Hey Anna!
Wow, your pictures were so sweet. I am glad you are all back and ready to begin your new classes!
We have had so much snow. I had a guy shovel the library today and he removed a bunch of snow. Many roads were closed today and we will get more snow tomorrow and Wednesday.
Happy New Year,
Kathy McDaniel
You have a normal routine? And 9 is only halfway to being a legal adult. 18 is still pretty young, I think. I have to believe that as I get further past that age each year...
Enjoy the snow. The schools here are closed...for water! It is flooding, so even teachers are out today.
praise the Lord on the 2 classes!! YAY!! I'm glad you are home and can get some rest! ;) I love all the pics but cringe at the "4th christmas" label!! I remember doing that at times with relatives, etc. GRUESOME!! :) Looks like the kidlets enjoyed it though!! ;)
