Wherefore seeingwe also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the same, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hide and seek has to be one of my kids favorite games at the moment! D has it down pat, other than having very little patience to be found, but E is a funny gal, and thinks she needs to hide to do the counting (she only counts properly up to seven, then is all over the place until it's time to yell 'twenty'). Here, they decided it was a good idea to both hide from mommy! I knew from the giggles where they were, so I grabbed the camera!
Good news on the basement suite, the renters started moving their stuff in today! Different renters than the girls I mentioned last post, who were late on bringing the damage deposit, and so we decided that was a no-go as we don't want difficulties of course! I'm really thinking we've got some great tenants here though. A single mom and her 11 yr old son. She's a very nice lady, and she just loves kids and doesn't mind the noises they produce, which is important around here! When she was unpacking today she had E down there with her, and there were heaps of giggles lofting up the stairs! Her son seems like a quiet and sweet boy, and D is so excited that there is a boy moving in downstairs. He seems to think they'll be part of our family though, which I'll need to talk to him about! He asked today how long till he moves in and is sleeping here, and when I said it would be 9 more days he said that that's how long it took to bring E home from Ethiopia (our trip was 9days). Humm.
Some news on the job front as well. Hubby has a phone interview this coming week, and there is a job fair in Kelowna next week as well! We're also looking into him perhaps working part time, and upgrading his skills in school a bit as it would be beneficial to have Microsoft certification.
Last but not least, here's a sweet photo from this eve. I would have gotten on of E as well, but she was grumpy, and baby J was already asleep!

  1. Congratulations on renting your suite! Sounds like you have perfect tenants. I love the photo of the kids hiding in the hamper!

    We're still in Victoria looking for homes, maybe back this week. Can't wait to visit and catch up!

  2. Hope your hunt is fruitful (in a mixed sort of way of course!). Looking forward to a visit!
