We are back.  We kind of fell of the face of the earth for the last few weeks, but we are home and getting back into “normal” life.  April was really good to us.  We spent time relaxing, hanging out as a family and generally taking it easy.  I am amazed how quickly a month can slip by.  We were sad that there were a lot of people we wanted to visit with that we didn’t have time for.

  Our trip to Vancouver / Abbotsford was wonderful. It was not exactly what we had expected, but that was likely good.  We spent the first day in Vancouver sightseeing, visiting the aquarium and generally feeling out of place in downtown Vancouver.  We took a bus to Abbotsford and spent the rest of the week at a Bed and Breakfast taking part in a retreat run by Power To Change.  The speakers and leaders were really great!  We learned a lot from them and from our fellow retreaters.  It was a priceless 5 days.  The kids did wonderfully at Mom and Dads.  I don't think the even realized we were gone.

Our B&B.  Wow!
So now we are home and Trev is starting the job hunt.   We are not limiting ourselves to jobs in Boissevain, although we are not making plans to move right now.  We have no idea what is coming our way, but we are thankful for the time we had this last month.  J
