Unlikely Pair
Monday, August 31st, 2009While unpacking boxes I came across one which was labelled the following (undoubtedly the only box in history to ever be labelled as such):
“Flannel-graph & Nigerian Clothing”
Enough said.
Faith & Covenant
Sunday, August 30th, 2009Part of the reason Marc decided to go to Providence is because we wanted to stay connected to the Covenant denomination throughout seminary. There is a church in Winnipeg a little over a half hour away. (Okay, today it took us 45 minutes to get there, but we just need to figure out the best [...]
It is a truth universally acknowledged,
Saturday, August 29th, 2009That within an hour of making your bed up with the extra sheets, you will find the fitted sheet that has been missing for seven days.
Also, can someone tell me why we have so many mattress covers???
Looks cozy, doesn’t it?
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009This is the living room in the trailer. I’m currently sitting in that Ikea chair under the lamp (on Marc’s new laptop), and as I look up, I realize that the combined living room and kitchen that we have (I was standing on a kitchen chair when I took the picture) is maybe 2 feet [...]
Manitoba
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009I guess we’re on Day 4 here in Manitoba. All is going very well. What can I tell you?
- If “last year’s” Dixie had done this move, her head would have exploded several times already. “This year’s” Dixie is doing very well and enjoying this new pace of life and what each day brings.
- The [...]
Don’t tell Marc…
Thursday, August 20th, 2009But right now I’m laying on the basement floor procrastinating. (The computer’s set up for the first time in days to test some new piece of technology Marc bought for his iPod today.) I really don’t want to do this anymore. NO MORE PILES OF JUNK TO GO THROUGH! I BEG YOU!
We took the kids [...]
If you’re wondering how it’s going,
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009Well, it’s going. Initially we were going to leave yesterday afternooon. Then we found out we have the van until Saturday afternoon, so we decided to leave Thursday morning. Now we realize we need another day. There is just too much stuff still to go through. And rather than go there and drive 9.5 hours [...]
Little Escape
Sunday, August 16th, 2009More and more I’m looking at those three weeks of vacation in July as the much-needed time to getaway before the work of selling the house and moving began. On days like today, those three weeks are like my own little secret — all of the adventures we had, all of the care-free days. I [...]
It’s the eyes.
Friday, August 14th, 2009The kids at Grandpa’s funeral lunch. And, yes, that is a Webkinz tiger with a styrofoam cup on its face on top of Luke’s head. What else would it be?
Quick Update
Friday, August 14th, 2009I guess it’s been several days since I’ve posted. They’ve not been easy days. The funeral was really beautiful. The day after the funeral was pure chaos on the house-front, and that continued for a few days. But now we’re feeling better, are getting to packing, and are more relaxed about it all. And [...]
