C’est l’anniversaire de Hudson!

January 25, 2022January 25, 2022 / battsabroad / 1 Comment

It’s Hudson’s third birthday today! A few weeks ago, shortly after the Christmas craziness, we started asking Hudson what theme he wanted for his birthday this year: Paw Patrol, trains, cars… he could pretty much pick whatever he wanted (especially since all we do is hang up some color-themed balloons and a “Happy Birthday” banner). … Continue reading C’est l’anniversaire de Hudson!

8 Years Ago…

January 10, 2022January 9, 2022 / battsabroad / 6 Comments

Eight years ago, Allen and I stood in front of God, family, and friends to promise our lives to each other. Amidst white and green flowers, lanterns, and keys, we said our vows, lit our candle, and said "I do." Eight years later, nothing looks the same. My hair is longer, and so is Allen's … Continue reading 8 Years Ago…

Happy Friday! We are halfway through our quarantine here in Quebec, and boy do we have our new share of stories.

We’re in Québec for Clara’s « Welcome to Kindergarten » day at the kids’ new school. We’re so excited for our move and to be plugged into the community here! Ruth, Clara, and Hudson are ready to talk all about the things we’re taking to Quebec City when we move, their time at the ranch in Oregon with Mimi and Papa, and what we’ve been up to since getting home. We took the kids up to see all the things we brought over from Alaska for our apartment in Quebec, which are currently stored in a cabin on campus. We’re all excited to move and settle into our new home in a couple weeks! UPDATE: Success!! Importing the Jeep went really well. Next on our list: a vehicle inspection and getting Quebec license plates. We are finally home! Well, at least for the next few weeks before we move to Quebec City. Finally shared a quick recap of our trip through Canada on our website - www.battsabroad.com After driving through six other provinces (and Alaska) we are back in Quebec! We’re still about 10 hours from home, but we are so thankful for God’s protection, mercy, and provision on this trip. Thank you to everyone who has been praying. 🇨🇦♥️ Day ✌🏻 and we’re crossing into Canada after a good night’s sleep in Tok. Starting our long drive back to Quebec! Today’s goal: reach Tok.
