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!

We are not caught up on sleep (though our kids slept for about 13+ hours Wednesday night) and we are not unpacked (we aren’t motivated to do so since we’re moving in less than three weeks). But we’re home!! The … Continue reading We’re Home!!
