..and so on

Just a brief post on how things are going .. we're feeling sort of .. organized! Wouldn't be able to do it without amazing support, we've had help packing, food brought over, boxes delivered, .. too many blessings to count! We've got four more sleeps in our little Winnipeg house, can't believe it! So much has happened in the past couple of weeks, its incredible to do so much in so little time! Our one-time four page list of things to accomplish is down to one page!
We're looking forward to a farewell gathering at Lorrie and Paul's place on Friday night, we'll have a chance to connect with a few people we haven't seen in a while.
We had an opportunity to meet the new people who will live in our home. Getting a chance to chat with them was really special, we gave them the 'inside scoop' on area schools and all the perks of living in the North End. (Yes, you read that right!) Introduced them to a couple of neighbors, and prepared them to be helpers for next year's block party ... they'll fit right in in no time.
Tonight, my sweet niece was here, and she woke up a couple of hours after being put to bed (I think the dogs went into the room she was sleeping in) .. it was a gift to be able to snuggle her and visit as one can only do with a toddler .... I'm sure she learned to say "meow" ... Instead of wondering if this was the last chance I'd have to do this, I really enjoyed the moment.
I think that describes our whole family's perspective right now, we're just savoring these last days and each simple thing we get to experience.
Life is good.
One more comment about amazing things to experience, I booked a flight to Winnipeg a week after we move; I'm going to baptize a friend at Bird's Hill, right at the beach .. what a privilege!
