We Are Here!!

It is Sunday, September 7. We got to Grande Prairie last Sunday about 2 in the morning. It took Tim until about 1:00pm to get the cars through the border. When he got to the Canadian border they said that the letter didn't say exactly that we could import it into Canada and they were not going to let him through--again. But he pleaded and they talked to the supervisor and he was able to get through. Yet another sign that we are suppose to be here. So we got here and we are just trying to get all the little things done.-- Change car insurance, health insurance, drivers licenses, etc. The kids started school in the county school-Harry Balfour. It is a nice school and they all seem to like it. They also started to ride the bus which is a new experience for them. Ethan was a little worried about finding his bus at the end of school and came home with an upset tummy. I will meet him on Monday at school to help him find his bus. We are still looking for a house. Everything is only 3 bedroom. When we tell people we have 5 kids they all are amazed and say, ya you're going to have a hard time finding a house. Then when we find one that has more bedrooms, by the time we call it, it has already been rented. It's only been a week and we know the Lord will help us find where we are suppose to be.
We are really loving it here. The weather has been nice. It gets cold in the morning , about 40 degrees but warms up to about 60 degrees during the day.
That's about all the news right now. We will continue to post as things start happening. We really are enjoying being around The Moline side of the family and getting to know them better. We miss The Francis side of the family and hope you will all be willing to keep in touch.
The numbers we can be reached at here are: 780-532-5938 Sherry's house
and 780-876-3965 Tim's cell.
We love you and miss you all.
