our new front door.

In the last month we've been busy again with this and that.. in early November we installed our new front door and painted and stained the door and trim. Earlier then that we received our first snowfall of the year. When Derek got home from work he and Katie made a snowman. The snow was perfect for this and it ended up being quite a tall one.. Katie thought it was just the coolest thing and kept saying "Katie likes snow.. "
The last few weeks we have been busy planning our trip to Australia. We have now booked our tickets and hope to arrive DV, February 23rd 2010 and spend four weeks there before leaving Perth March 26th for Sydney here we will spend 3 days before leaving Sydney for Vancouver and home 30th March. We are very thankful and excited to be going back finally, its been a long time now since we've been in WA.
The days are getting shorter now and there is definately less sunlight but this just means we have to make the most of the sun we do have, like this morning Katie and I walked up town and got the mail and did a few errands.
We are very excited together with Derek's brother Steve and his wife Cece with the birth of their long awaited second child a daughter, Emily Janina. And we praise the Lord for this miracle of new life. Now we are waiting on Roze (Derek's sister) who is also due soon..
A month before this Ivy (Derek's sister in law) had a baby girl Myca Rachelle. So the family is definately growing!!!
