We are still alive!

We won't lie.

This is tiring.

But its SUCH a good kind of tiring. It's the kind of tired one gets when one goes on a missions trip. Right now...my mission is my wife and our ministry is our daughter. This won't last forever. I am still called to the people of Granville Chapel. But for this week and next...I have been released to "hold and behold". Here are a couple updated pics of Elizabeth.



Also...on the 31st...we moved!

I won't go into details... to use words would not communicate adequately how much the help we received meant to us (it brought us to tears). Specifically (in no specific order) thank you to the mothers...mothers like Fran/Chantale/Joan/Marlene and a few more than I am forgetting (please forgive me...I'm working on 4 hours of sleep right now)....and a big thank you to the students and dads who followed these brave woman's directions....you are our FAMILY...and we are somehow more of who God made us to be...because of YOU.

...so...quick update on the new apartment. WE LOVE IT. More on this for a later post. We are still waiting on a phone line and Internet...which may come sometime next week....but its mostly all coming together!

Also...how are we (i.e. Heidi and I) doing?
Answer: GREAT. This is SUCH A FUN TIME FOR US!

We have even gone out every day since the delivery:
Date one: Tim Hortons
Date two: A walk
Date three: Tim Hortons
Date four: A walk
Date five: Starbucks
Date six: A wedding of some of our friends

Thanks for following our lives. We love you

I just can't get over how excited I am for your family!! And I am SO in love with my niece and I have even yet to hold her. I was showing my mom her pictures and just kept saying "LOOK!!! HOW CUTE!!! SHE'S PERFECT!" And I am SO excited for your new place and how it'll rock your new world!! I am so thankful for your "family" up in Canada who are there when we can't be--thank you Granville for all the love and support you've shown the White family!!!

Holy miscoly! (Something I say, have never written it!) I was about as active as a corpse for the first week. Heidi is a wild woman!
