Family Pics


Just had a a wonderful time last weekend with Amy and Andy taking some pics at a farm stead close by that has meant so much to us over the last 4 years. We had a blast. Thanks Amy and Andy for taking the amazing pictures, and capturing who we are as a family, and our unique personalities on camera! It was a blast. 

Things are coming to a close here, as we pack up our stuff. We are surrounded by boxes, empty Jones' bottles, and lots of eating out of our freezer. God is good. We are excited about the next leg of the journey, all a step closer to our Lord and Saviour. Please pray for our family as we make this huge transition in our lives. 

Hudson is well - such a content quiet baby. Sometimes Ade and I almost forget him he is so quiet. Jesse is a passionate boy, who loves action figurines, and jelly beans. Sam is quite into detail, sensitive and loves cuddling. It is great to see all their qualities come out as they grow older. I love them all so much. Who'd a thunk I'd have 4 boys! What a gift. 

Will keep you all posted of our journeys through our blog!

Love 
Rebecca

SO MANY CHANGES

I Know it has been forever, I am done apologizing, as life is busy with 4 boys in the house. Things are good though. Hudson Paul joined our world April 14th, a whopping 8lbs 13oz, the delivery went very well, except the clock really messed with my mind at 5AM - as the hospital clocks have a lull on the hour, so he was born at 5:01. I tell myself that time stood still when Hudson entered the world.... He is a delight. Slept through the night since 4 weeks, breastfeeding well and on a schedule. He's like a little pigeon with his sounds, and so delightful to snuggle with. I am taking the time to savor this little sweet one - as much as possible with 2 older brothers running around. We are spending lots of time out in nature with our sketch books and colors, as our days are ticking down here at our home.... 

We are planning a move at the End of August, as we are heading back out to Thetis Island for Adrian to complete a year of Bible school. Its a desire that has always been on his heart, and now it seems God has given us the time and opportunity to head back to the coast with our family. I am excited for what God has in store for us. We sold our home, and are packing most of our stuff into storage, and living the simple life for a year. Its a huge move for us - a huge leap of faith - God has proven himself over and over and over again to be so faithful and caring in our lives, what can we do on earth here but to lay our lives down in service to him. 

If everyone could write us over email archesham@hotmail.com and give us their  contact email addresses, addresses and phone #s, that would be great, so I can keep in touch with you all. I am not a facebooker - sorry all you keeners - I just don't have time during my day. Each of you are very valuable in our lives though, and would love to have updated info to send you out a letter. 

Better go - Letter factory is over and the boys are on the run. 

Lots of love to you all!
