It never disappoints.
We haven't heard too much on the job front, but are trying to remain optimistic and enjoy this pause before our life turns the next corner. Hard to do with three busy boys, mind you!

Spring action
Though the weather hasn't been great yet, we've tried to get out as often as we can. The boys only had a three day school week again, so we made the trek out to Margaret Falls for the first time of the year.
It never disappoints.

Hippity hop
We were at a big event this past weekend, celebrating my Grandma and Grandpa's 80th birthdays. All my moms 4 siblings came out, which included their 4 spouses, their 8 children (2 with their spouses), and 8 of their grandchildren. We had a big happy bunch that hung out for two full days. It is rare that we all make it to an event at the same time as we're spread far and wide, so the times together are always pretty momentous! Hope your Easter was a good one spent with family too!

And so the story goes...
Thanks for just looking at my photos lately, with limited writing.
Many things have changed for our family, as of late. I have been busy in my thoughts, and not really knowing how much to share.
Greg has lost his job. He (and a few others) were laid off over the spring break as his company is trying to cut some expenses. (For those who don't know, Greg had kept his job from Calgary and was working from home.) He was able to do this for four years, and I am very grateful. We needed some time with our family, and to live in this small town and do some things we never could do in Calgary.
But now we move on. We will most likely need to move to another city to find a good job in his field. We're hoping it won't be too far away, to make visits with the family a little more convenient.
My brain is working in overload as I realize I am again in that position of needing to pack, move, sell the house. That we will be changing schools, churches, friends. That Greg will be working back in an office. That our usual routine and activities will all be different.
We told our kids yesterday and they are praying along with us, that God will take us where he wants us to be and that it will be a good change for all. That He knows the right job for Greg, and so we can remain confident and hopeful. I'm trying to be patient, as the "planner" part of me is going slightly crazy since I have no idea what is next.
We'd appreciate your prayers too!
Thanks friends!
