BIG NEWS:
We are officially moving home to the great white north. No, we are not communists. No, we are not going back for free health care. No, we are not crazy to be moving in January... wait, I take that one back.
Griff has been accepted to the good ol' U of L (Lethbridge for our non native friends) and will be starting a second degree in biochem. So back to the life of the starving student for us. (Yippee??!) Actually we are pretty excited to try something new and to live right (RIGHT) by grandma.
So this will be our last month in California and we've been trying to enjoy it. We took the girls to the Sacramento zoo and to Fairytale Land. It's a big park where kids can climb and jump and slide. Pretty much a big hit with Sophie.
Tentatively going into King Aurthur's Castle.
Ever wonder about the shoe the little old woman lived in?
Well, wonder no more.
Big slide.
Fast slide.
Driving Cinderella's coach
Mia riding a giant turtle.
The cheese stands alone.
No, really, see:
The only family shot we got. Pretty great.
We saw lots of fun animals at the zoo. Lions, tigers, anteaters. But gotta love the freaky giant RAT we saw running around with the flamingos. Alberta is sounding better and better.
Also, Mia enjoying her first swing! (better get park time in before the big move):(
We will keep everyone updated on the plans. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

It's going to be great! Adventures are good! We are so excited for you guys to be moving back to Lethbridge! Can't wait to see you in March! Going back to being students really isn't that bad. Oh, in the picture after Soph went down the big slide- it looks like she broke her leg! Glad she didn't! And I love the picture of all the girls in the cheese...too cute!
Yea, Congrats Griff!!! We are so happy for you guys. Hopefully we will get to see you more often!!! We still need to meet Mia!!!! Love the pictures of your cute girls!!
p.s. Jon would love to take family photos for you guys some time.
Jess! I talked to your mom at church a few weeks ago and I was so excited when she told me, but I thought I better hold my tongue till you announced it for yourself. I am so excited for you! I'm sure you'll miss California, but ya can't beat being by family. Hey, and maybe we'll actually get to see each other sometime too now when I come home.
You know, I'm actually sad you have to move. Sophie & Mia are having the time of their lives and they don't even know it. Welcome back to Canada and I can't wait to see you. Oh the sound track is pretty good, especially the Hockey Night In Canada theme.
Love you,
Grandpa Rob & Grandma Dodie
YAY!!! I'm so excited you guys are moving back! It will be great to see you on a regular basis. Let me know what day you are moving, and I'll be sure to send some help over ;-)
Jess! Thanks for the congrats...and congrats right back at ya! I know how it feels to go from non-student to living on loans...but once you get used to it, it's not so bad (sometimes :) Will and I are going to be in Lethbridge until January 12th. I know it will be a crazy time for you guys, but if you get a chance, I'd love to meet Sophie and Mia and for you to meet Christian! Good luck with the move!
Looks like a lot of people are glad you are moving back, but we're sad here in Modesto. We will miss you so much, but we hope it's a great thing for your family. You are dearly loved no matter where you are!
What an adventure! From one starving student to another - Top Ramen is really a very versatile meal :) We are going to miss you guys. I have fond memories of Sophie desperately trying to tell me (in sign language) that she wanted more milk and me just staring blankly at her...she is so adorable!
