New place, New perspective, New season and life...

This is the first blog post for me since a lot has changed in my life.  In June, we said farewell to our beloved River John, as our ministry called us to the communities of Bedeque and North Bedeque in Prince Edward Island.  We now call the manse in Bedeque home and are adjusting to life in these new places.  We have also become parents in September, to our beautiful little man, Ethan Stephen Lauchlin.  And what an adventure it has been.  

As we've been watching the leaves change color, so we've been watching him change and learn and grow.  It's meant a new way of learning for me too, as I've taken the full year off to learn how to be his Mom as well as a minister.  We're slowly getting the hang of it, figuring out what works and what doesn't, and taking it day by day...or as some might say, in baby steps!  It's been a fall full of firsts for all of us.  And so, my blog will shift perspective for a while as I reflect on what it means to be his Mom, in this new place, while the seasons change.  I'm genuinely looking forward to this coming year and all of the gratitude, love and joy it will bring!
