We have arrived in Canada!! To our surprise when we arrived we were expecting to move into a two-bedroom apartment, but ended up moving into a four-bedroom house! Wow! This was much larger than we were anticipating. It is beautiful. This is by far the nicest place we have lived in so far!
The boys are settling in and adjusting. Rylan is struggling a little bit with all the changes and having mom and dad busy all day unpacking. Carsten is doing well and is working on sleeping through the night (a feat he had mastered in CA, but regressed in along the road).
We are all fighting a head cold, so think of us this weekend, we would like to be well before training begins on Monday.
Missing you all :)

The road trip continues
Well we have made it to Waukesha. We will be here for a few days before heading onto Michigan and then Canada. Our trip has gone pretty well so far. We spent a few days with our friends in Idaho and then went on from there to the Grand Tetons National Park in Jackson, Wyoming. What a beautiful place!
I know what you are thinking...where are all the pictures you took in this beautiful place. Well that is a great question and the answer is: still in the camera that has yet to be found! Somewhere in between going to the park and getting to our hotel (we had it in the car on the way from the park to the hotel) it got lost. We are still holding out hope that it is lost in our huge car that is a disaster right now.
If we ever find it I will be sure to post the pictures we took there! Anyway we had a great time in the park. The kids loved it. We went for a 5 mile hike and on the way back it started to pour on us! The boys were fine with it, but by the time we got to our car little Carsten's lips were quivering because he was so cold (it was in the low 60s).
From there we went to Cheyenne, just to break up the trip. We stayed overnight and left the next morning to go to Lincoln, NE. We had a great time in Lincoln as usual with our good friends the Moores.
Now we are in Waukesha taking care of a few details here before we head to Michigan to visit our dear friends, the Ritsemas!

Pre road trip pictures
Our road trip is well under way, but here are a few photos from before we left California. We got the chance to go to Disneyland, which was a lot of fun! We also spent some time swimming...both of the boys are little fish, loving every minute of time in the pool!
We are now in Idaho visiting the Walton family who are graciously hosting us for the weekend. We head to Wyoming in a few days!

Saying goodbye
The summer has truly flown by and we now have less than a week left here in CA. We have had a wonderful time in CA and have been so encouraged by our many meetings (over 40) this summer! However the hard part about being here for a summer and having such a great time is that it makes it that much harder to leave. Please think of us this next week as we say goodbye to everyone. Also think of our families who are already struggling with the thoughts of goodbye. We will post pictures as we are able to on the road and then once we get to Canada we will be updating regularly again. Our road trip to Canada looks as follows:
8/4-8/6- Las Vegas, NV
8/6-8/9- Hailey, ID
8/9-8/10- Grand Tetons National Park, WY
8/10-8/11- Cheyenne, WY
8/11-8/12- Lincoln, NE
8/12-8/17- Waukesha, WI
8/17-8/19- Grand Rapids, MI
8/19-8/20- Detroit, MI
8/20- Arrive in Canada
Think of us as we travel to all these places!

Yosemite Pictures
Floating down the river was a blast!
Jumping into the rapids...just kidding!
Bath time, camp style!
Great time with family!
Time in CA
Since being in Ca we have had a great time! It has been so wonderful spending time with family and friends! We have been able to spend a good amount of time with both of our families. Last week we camped in Yosemite Valley...what a beautiful place!
Throughout the time we have been here, we have had many lessons in trust. Over and over our Father has proven Himself to be faithful and sufficient for all our needs. What a neat experience to go through, hard at times, but rewarding and growing.
We have a little over a month left here. Time is truly flying by. We are excited to move to Canada, but are not too anxious as this time in CA has been wonderful!

Made it to CA
We arrived in CA on Wednesday afternoon. The house we are staying in is awesome and we are so grateful! We are getting settled in and adjusted to a new routine. Rylan is doing well. His first night in his new room resulted in a middle of the night cry session, but since then he has been fine. We are already enjoying time with family and friends. Carsten has met a lot of new people...most all our family and friends had never met him.
Thank you for thinking of us as we traveled across the country. It was a long trip, but it went really well with no problems! We had a fun time as a family in both Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks! Thanks also to the Moore/Rouse families who graciously hosted us in Nebraska...love you guys!
We are without internet at our house, so updating will be a little less frequently at this point.
