After a LONG journey, we are settled.

We have now been in Bismarck, North Dakota for nearly four weeks and fairly settled.  We are diving into activities and school work since we've been sort of 'off' for about a month with packing and moving.  I think we are all enjoying the normal rhythm of our school, work, errands and outings.  Packing and being in upheaval is not that great on three young kids, so it is great to being back in the normal swing of life.

Since arriving in Bismarck we have been overwhelmed with the incredible welcome from our new church family and the amount of great homeschooling families we have meet.  It has been an tremendous blessing and answer to pray for our family!  We have joined a homeschool P.E. class that meets two times per week and at our church there are a handful of families that are in our stage of life that homeschool also.  We are so very thankful for all of this!

We are settled in a cute but small rental house near the YMCA, so we are excited to get involved there during the upcoming cold months.  Also, we are beginning to look for a house to buy, so we are praying that God would bring us a great home for our family and that we would know it when we see it!


Here are a few pictures of our kids.  Cora 12 months, Evie 5 (kindergarten), Leyton 7 (2nd grade).
