On the road again...



You may be wondering what has been going on in our lives lately... a LOT!









We did it!  Ben graduated with his Masters in Christian Studies and won two prizes along the way... I couldn't be a more proud wife!  



We took some last pictures and said our sad farewells and then we packed up our little basement with the help of some great friends to make the trek south.  Vancouver is a pricey little city and we're hoping to save some money over the summer as we wait to see what the fall holds.    














Moving is a lot harder with an infant - but Nora has been a trooper through it all.   If you're reading from Vancouver, know that we miss you!














Nora is still cute as a button.  She is moving into the teething phase so we are having a lot of trouble keeping her in dry clothes these days.  She loves sitting/standing (with help of course) so that she can get a good look at what is going on around her.  She seems to babble more and more each day and is very interested in watching people eat and drink.  It won't be long before she'll be ready to do some of that herself! 

































We visited Portland over the Mother's Day weekend where Grandpa helped Nora experience the great outdoors (okay, okay - the front lawn) for the first time.  Video says it all.  ( :
