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.

Road trip to CA

Moments before starting the long trip from Waukesha to Riverside

Fun times in our packed out car!

Representing

Carsten is representing for the Brewers! Farewell Wisconsin we will miss you!

Hitting the road

The car is fixed...thankfully a transmission service did the job! (It is running great and the mechanic gave us an 80% chance of making it just fine to CA)

The house is cleaned...spent the last few days getting it all done!

And we will hit the road tomorrow morning for our first stop of many...Nebraska!

We will post pictures of our stops along the way. Think of us in the next week while we make our way to the Wild Wild West (a.k.a. Riverside, CA)

Trouble on route to Canada

Last night Jeff and our friend Branden left to take a load of our stuff up to Canada. They ran into some trouble midway through the night with the car. It seems that the load was just a bit heavy for our car. They pulled over and let it cool down before continuing on. They eventually had to stop for a few hours just to give the car a break. They made it to the border this morning where they ran into a little trouble with Jeff getting his visa. Anyway he got the visa and got across the border with our stuff. I am waiting on word that they arrived to the destination safely. Please think of them today as they plan to get back in the car and head home.
