A quick update!!

Dearest Ones,

It is 8:30 am, I write with a steaming cup of coffee and a sweet baby down for her first nap. I can't believe that my last post was just after she was born, recounting all of the intensity of her beautiful birthday. So much has happened! I have so many reflections in my heart...about parenthood, marriage, life. However, before I move onto those I think I'd simply better update everyone on where we are and what we are doing!

This is the determined side of our little person!

First of all, little Liliana is almost 12 weeks old. I can't even describe the intensity of having your heart literally moving and breathing outside of you. She is so beautiful and peaceful, yet entirely stubborn and determined at the same time. She has traveled well, but I am so grateful to finally be settled somewhere, so she can find a  a sense of security and some sort of regularity. I will write more about her and the adventure of parenthood in our next blog.


 ...two days later...life is different with a babe!!!


Yes, we have settled! After over one full day of travel from Australia (in which the wee one was a perfect angel), 3 happy weeks in Texas, we are here in Calgary. The weather is crisp and autumn like, but the sun has been shining every day and so we feel blessed. Joe is consumed with daily terror over the cold weather, even though we already went out and invested in some warm gear. He is CONVINCED that he will soon be a  popsicle and nothing will save him :)

We are praying and hoping for Joe's immigration to come through soon so that he can find employment. Meanwhile, he is going slightly crazy feeling like he has too little to do, and I am going slightly crazy knowing my Love is slowly losing it :) (slight exaggeration but not really!!) We trust though, that we are in the right place, and as many times as we re-evaluate the decision we made to move here, we feel peaceful that it was the right one.

Anyhow, I'm going to leave it at that so I can write about the nitty gritty of life and love. We will update as soon as we have any new developments!  Thank you for your love and prayers, and for supporting us as we made the move across the world. We miss you all, we love you dearly, and we pray for you every day!!!!


XOXO,
