We're back....

Well, we're finally back online. After a two month break, thanks to Vincent, we are able to access the internet again. Hopefully it will last this time. In Jono's words, "Never buy a cheap computer." They are just too frustrating. And the computer store was basically no help. Oh well. The numbers on the keyboard still don't work either.
Jono has finished his first year at CanIL and will start work on Tuesday. He is enjoying the break from classes and looks forward to doing some "real" work. He will be TAing for July and August and looks forward to the new challenges that will bring.
Janice is still babysitting. She has also started to tutor a Korean student here in Abbotsford. It has been refreshing to read a book that doesn't relate to Thomas the Tank Engine or Little Monster. The beautiful spring weather has allowed her to go for more walks with the boys and she can let them play outside.
Stephen is still growing and amazing us everyday. This morning he learned that he could walk behind his "car" and get around that way. He has four teeth and loves to grind them to hear the sound that it makes. He has overcome his fear of grass and never stays in one place very long.
We all look forward to heading back to Ontario in June for Rod and Becky's wedding. It will be good to see family and friends again and spend some quality time with them.
We have submitted our initial application to Wycliffe Bible Translators and look forward to hearing back from them. Be forewarned that we will keep you involved as that progresses.
We have also decided to make the move into Langley in the fall. We have been very blessed by Brad and Judy and their boys but feel that we will be able to be more involved in "school life" if we move. We are excited that we will be able to live in an upstairs apartment. [We're thankful that God is calling Nathan and Kim to Nicaragua for a couple years.] Stephen will be able to look out the window without being held. The one catch is that in order to finance the move we will need to have a couple of homestay students in our third bedroom. We're hoping that with our contacts we will be able to find two great students who won't mind sharing a room. We will see what God has in store for us. We know it's going to be exciting.
