Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lovely thanksgiving dinner with our friends Dylia and Julio...Sara's kind of thanksgiving meal:) - completely vegan! Last year we didn't do anything special for thanksgiving but it was great to share this special holiday with friends and reflect on the blessings in our lives and give thanks.

Here's Sara talkinig with Jeni-Joy - who just happens to be one of the best blessings in our lives - we are really happy and thankful that God has blessed us with such great friends:)

and here with one of our favourite little people - Bianca:) she's too cute! she was telling all her "friends" (us) stories on Thanksgiving day and she also made lovely cards for each family to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving - we love Bianca and Gisella!

Working on the house:)

We will be moving into our house over the 28th and 29th of this month but for now we are busy taking measurements for blinds and dreaming about paint colours etc. etc. It's really a lot of fun to have our own place and plan for how we are going to pretty it up:) We're really having a great time!

Here's Clark with all his "paper-work" - he's made his own blue-print of the house which he uses to write in measurements and has a file with all the different kinds of blinds and things that we are looking at - he's really organised:)

Sara couldn't resist picking up paint samples at Lowe's and taking them to the house to plan future painting jobs:) she's the interior decorator in our little family:)

Clark, on the other hand, is very excited about his garage???? Sara doesn't get it...maybe it's a guy thing:) anyway - here he is washing the garage floor so that he can epoxy-coat it (basically like a special paint that you put on concrete floors and then they don't stain with oil or anything like that).

We'll keep you posted with more of house fix-ups and probably next photos we post will be moving pics:) we're really excited!!!

We have a housie:)

Here is our brand new, very own home:)

This picture was taken while they were still finishing off the house so you can see the porch and balcony bannisters haven't been painted yet but it still looks pretty:)

The kitchen.

My favourite part - the jacuzzi bath tub with a wonderful view:)

The view from our front garden...we look onto a putting green and the San Bernadino mountains are in the background:)

The entrance to our new neighbourhood - Mission Creek.

We hope to see you soon - we've got plenty of room:)
