Our little tribe has been in Ottawa for almost two months already. I can hardly believe it. There have been ups and downs as we meet new friends and then miss our ones at home but for the most part we are enjoying our time in Eastern Canada. The weather has been absolutely beautiful as we have been blessed with warm sunny days and a amazing display of fall colours. I have never witnessed such beautiful colours and we are doing our best to enjoy

them while they surround us. Our little family has been making the most of city life. Walking to the library multiple times a week, biking along the canal and walking down our street for both swimming and skating lessons at the local arena and pool. J and A started skating lessons last we as we decided it would be necessary in order to fully enjoy the canal once it freezes. We have all been enjoying our studies :-) The kids and I are learning a ton from our involvement in classical conversations (my kids have a better memory than I do!). T and I have also been enjoying our classes at the college. We were blessed to be invited to Thanksgiving dinner with a family from church and I was even able to go out with some lovely ladies for coffee the other night. It is amazing how quickly community can come along especially in the body of believers. Construction continues on our street much to the enjoyment of the smallest boys in our home and while this is inconvenient for parking purposes all the diggers and dump trucks provide endless hours of entertainment for our little man.
