one day at a time



I know I have some people missing Lincoln (and the rest of us I'm sure ;) ), so I thought I should do a quick entry to let everyone aware as to whats happening in our lives right now.  We have been living with my sister, her hubby and 2 kids (same age as ours), for the past 3 weeks.  Its busy none the less, but we are actually having alot of fun!  Took a bit to get used to at the beginning with different routines and 8 around the dinner table, but we've got it all figured out now!  Its a good thing there are just as many adults as there are children around here! (for seating arrangement purposes) child, adult, child, adult, child, child.... OK, NOPE, that's not working, adult, child.  Its hectic, but we are used to it, and it IS just short term.  My kids know there are rules around here, and more people to stop them/get them into trouble, so they are behaving ok.  I am still staying at home with my boys, in a house, with too many doors, and too many sets of stairs (we didn't have stairs in Haliburton), so it certainly keeps me on my toes!  Mike is enjoying his new job, which takes him 15 min's to get to.  Putting in long days and learning more - which is great!!  We listed our house up for sale at the beginning of the week, so hopefully it wont be too long before it sells.  We are having a pretty hard time finding somewhere to rent as we only want to do short term, and many people want at least a 1 year contract, but we just keep phoning around, and I'm sure we will eventually find something (a few options are coming up in the middle of June - and it will be nice to be back in our own place with our own stuff.)  We've been watching the market of houses around here, and have a meeting coming up with a realtor to see what options we have and go from there.  I have re-registered Lincoln for kindergarten around here, but its hard to do that when we are not too sure where we will be living, but it shouldn't be a problem as long as we stay in the Thames valley school district.  My sister is the director of a daycare, and so its nice when she has free spots available to be able to take my kids too, also nice when there isnt room for her kids at daycare and she can leave them home with me!  We are starting to get things into action with Lincolns therapists and the transfers of files etc.  We have been a bit delayed with that because of the flooding that went on in Minden, but all in time, things will fall into place I'm sure!  So that's about it for now!  its been the same old same old 'new' around here, and we just keep taking it one step, one day at a time knowing God knows what the future holds.
