caronport, saskatchewan

So here we are. Two countries and a world away from Cuauhtemoc. And it's good. But I never expected I would miss Mexico as much as I do. One of the things I miss the most is greeting and being greeted with a kiss. Going to church here feels like a bit of a solitary activity. On the other hand, I am thoroughly enjoying the excellent music and preaching at Caronport Community Church.

Here we are having our first meal in our new home. We could hardly walk through the house for the boxes stacked all over the place. Two weeks later the boxes are almost all unpacked. Lauren & Ezra are happily settled into their school routine and Scott has enjoyed his first seminary course. Avery asks every day if we can go to Emily's or Hannah's house (in Mexico) and I find myself looking for something meaningful to do, as though caring for my family weren't meaningful enough.

We're settling in and beginning to find a routine that will be comfortable for us. And we're cold! It's 8 degrees outside and blustery and on the short walk from the van to the church Avery huddled into herself and said "I'm cold! I'm cold!" over and over. So I'll be off to buy mittens, scarves and touques not too long from now!
