Here are three fun things from the week! 1. Our kids’ salvations! In case you missed it, all three of our kiddos confessed Jesus Christ as their savior this week, asking Him to forgive their sins and live in their hearts. Yesterday, Ruth sat next to me as I did my quiet time and wanted … Continue reading Three Things
Friday Favorites
Fridges, WiFi, and the Woods
Thanks so much to everyone who prayed for and encouraged our family this week! Our apartment is starting to feel more and more like home and that’s helping all of us feel more settled. Other good news: We got our refrigerator this week! It’s a big improvement from the blue camping cooler and bags of … Continue reading Fridges, WiFi, and the Woods
First Friday in Québec
What. A. Week. We have about 10 hours worth of stories from earlier this week that would have you laughing, gasping, groaning, and lamenting with us. From a UHaul pickup fail to forgetting important documents for an important meeting to finally unloading everything into our apartment, it’s been a long and fun and full week. … Continue reading First Friday in Québec
Pizza, Ping Pong, and Snails
Thank you so much for the sweet birthday wishes yesterday! We had a great day together as a family, plus I was able to spend time with a few friends.

We’re in Québec!
We drove up to Québec City yesterday afternoon to spend the night. It's a quick trip - we're heading back to Sherbrooke this afternoon - but it is so nice to be here for a little bit. We move up in just 11 sleeps! We had dinner last night with Tim and Barbara, our dear … Continue reading We’re in Québec!

But we’re home!! The … Continue reading We’re Home!!

They're short and sweet and will include just one picture to sum up the day. Last night's post is available here. This week was full. I accidentally ordered "sin" … Continue reading Weekly Recap
Weekly Highlights
We bought six boxes of tissues last Saturday. And we've already gone through three of them. Some virus (not Covid - we tested three times) came through our house starting last week and has left us all feeling congested and tired with sore throats and occasional coughing fits. On Thursday, our kids finally returned to … Continue reading Weekly Highlights
Real Life Update
We are so thankful that we could share our life update with everyone this week! We’ve kept it under wraps since last September, when we started exploring again how God was leading our family. If you missed it, here’s the parent version and here’s the kid version. But here’s the thing, in our family at … Continue reading Real Life Update
Blessed.
On Wednesday, we FaceTimed my parents. That’s a very normal occurrence for us, at least once or twice a week, even if it’s just to tell them something random. But anyway, on Wednesday, we were telling them about what a long week it had been already, how much we’d accomplished, and what’s been going on. … Continue reading Blessed.
