Jake all ready to rock for an outdoor excursion.
Taken in Saskatoon but the look is much the same here.
The last few days Edmonton has been graced with some beautiful Autumn weather. The leaves are almost off the trees but line the streets and make that wonderful crunching sound when you walk through them. Jake, Sophie and I have been taking advantage of the nice weather by exploring our neighbourhood. Jake hasn't been sleeping the greatest so he enjoys the crisp air and a few zz's in the chariot while Sophie and I enjoy some peace and rest from grumpy baby. This morning Tim was able to join us on our exploration. As we walked we ran into the people who live in the basement of our house walking their dog. We stopped and chatted and I couldn't help but think of how rarely this happens in Saskatoon a much smaller city where we know considerably more people. We also visited a local coffee shop called The Wired Cup. Great coffee, neat art and gifts to look at, delicious cinnamon buns. So many yummy things to be thankful for. As we were talking, a lady at the next table overheard we were new to Edmonton. She turned around and continued to tell us all the local attractions and some great places to run and cross country ski. She found out I like to run and gave me her number and email address in case I ever want to go out running with her or just meet up for coffee. This is the third time this has happened in the last week. First the lady at Bible study, then another mom at the Baby and Me Music class and now random lady at the coffee shop. Not to mention the friend of a friend who offered to help move us in and has already arranged a "date" next week with us. My biggest prayer in coming here was that I wouldn't be lonely. I think I can safely say that the Big Guy upstairs has heard and answered. My only dilemma is who to call first.
