Nothing exciting...

This week there's not much to write about. It takes a fair bit of mental energy being unemployed and I find it hard to write. A little update for those of you wondering what the job hunt is looking like. Henry was asked to meet with a company in Winnipeg to talk about possibly expanding their presence in western Canada and the U.S. A company in Seattle called him yesterday and wants a phone interview on Monday. A few other things are percolating so we're feeling a bit more optimistic. I've had a few promising interviews for office administrative positions but no job offers. At least I am more understanding of what it feels like - God is teaching me something in this as well.

This past week we've had two extra kids from a family that's vacationing in Mexico. It's going well but it's definitely different having a chatty, kindergarten aged child in the house. ;) Lorelle left on Monday. Rachelle's mom drove with me - we left at 4:00 in the morning to drive to Seattle. We got there without incident as the roads were not at all busy. I spoke with Lorelle a fair bit this week as she is quite excited about her classes. She's taking a Children's Literature class so when she has questions she knows she can ask her librarian mom who gets equally excited about Children's books. The first picture is of Alec's electronic "bank" - he is faithfully saving his money to pay for a long board that a friend of ours is making for him. The other is of Jocelyn when she returned from "police academy" - all tired out and ready to eat the entire contents of my kitchen... The next is our little extra after a trip to Edaleen to pick up dairy - always need to taste their ice cream before you leave.
