Update on Scott, Corrie, Taryn and Levi.....

Well, we have had one heck of a year!

Our last post was when we moved into the city of Edmonton, and our life has just been absolutely nutty since then!

We are currently living in Kamloops BC, as Scott accepted a job offer here beginning June 1/08. He is working for a company called Aluminum Curtainwall Systems Inc. They are a company that designs and builds glass curtainwall buildings all over the world actually. For anyone who is interested in more info, here is a link to their website http://www.acsinc.ca/

Scott has been hired to be the resident know it all for the 3D computer program that they use for their business. Scott was working for the company that sold the program to ACS, doing tech support, installations and training of the program.
He is loving his new job, and they have done an excellent job in providing for us as a family like paying for the move, trips to and from Edmonton, rent for 3 months and more!

Taryn has just turned 4 on July 17 and is a busy little girl. She is funny and very smart and loves to correct us when we do something that we won't let her do. Sometimes we feel like we are talking to someone WAY older than 4! She loves to read, colour, draw, play outside and run in the sprinkler. She is going to be attending Kindergarten in the fall of 2009 and is already very excited. She is alway talking about growing up and being bigger and stronger so she can do things like me and her daddy!

Levi is now 2 as of June 12 and is way busier than Taryn! He loves to cuddle and is our little charmer as he will talk to anyone he meets and makes everyone around him feel really special. He does not say much yet, but he understands everything you say to him. He is just starting to become interested in potty training, so once we get settled here in BC I will have to start working on that with him. He is very much into "boy" things, and can always spot helicopters and airplanes from miles away, loves motorbikes, cool classic cars and banging on things just to make noise!

Our 3rd baby will be arriving sometime in September with the due date of Sept 11. We have found out that it is a boy, and are excited to meet him and welcome him into our family. We are planning on this being the last baby, and Taryn is very excited to meet him and is always talking to my belly and kissing it. She will be a wonderful help when he does arrive, as she is quite capable of helping out with little jobs around the house.

We are still in the process of getting settled and trying to sell the acreage that we purchased just before we got the job in BC. We took the tiny house and gutted it, putting in new windows, doors, fixtures, tub, kitchen, flooring and more! It has been a lot of work, but we are thankful that God allowed it to happen so that we can afford a house here in BC.
Our situation was tough since we had not enough for a downpayment on a house here, so after we put that small chunk on the acreage, we will be able to make more off of it and have a bigger downpayment.
It has been rough since the market dropped a bit out in Edmonton, and nothing is really selling, but we have lowered our price to the lowest we can go in hopes that someone will want it!
I will have to post some pictures of before and after once we are all finished there and the house is all cleaned up and ready to go!

Well, that is enough for now! I will see if I can keep everyone updated on this, and if I can actually find the time to be writing!!!!
