Summer Family Update

Hello one and all, I have now succumbed to peer pressure (and there was a lot of it out there!) and have got this blog thing going. FYI, I am quite the facebooker pro now, and this thing is going to take a while for me to "get this."

Our summer has been hectic and grand! A major move to BC, Canada, setting up the office which is to open THIS WEEK! (Our opening date has been held up for 6 weeks due to delays with the x-ray at the border!) So more pictures of that later... We've also had a fabulous time in Maine, USA with the Stehmeier family reunion; living with the Herringtons in Kamloops; relocating to Kelowna; and cruising behind a brand new wakeboard boat at the Shuswap.

The girls are growing like crazy, Maya is now two and a half, Sybella is close to 7 months; yeesh, where has the time gone? Its all about the pretend play and making little Bella laugh for Maya and getting Belles to get mobile-I know, I'll regret this later!

I'm loving life as a stay at home mom and for those of you who knew me in Iowa, I have my own car-a real beaut of a junker and my own cell phone! Yes, I'm moving up in the world! Ah, freedom is all I can say about that! Hopefully you all enjoy the pictures, I'll try to update somewhat as best as I can. Happy Times!

Buaha I knew you would break under the pressure. I'm so glad you've decided to start blogging linds, we're very excited....did you post pictures? cause I don't see them...haha
Incase I haven't told you before, our blog is www.stehchill.blogspot.com
You should add a "link list" to the front page of your blog, it makes it easier to just put in your friends' blogs and to click on the link, instead of having to type in their address everytime you want to visit.

My parents (Chris writing) would be so jealous to hear that you live in Kelowna now. You can ask Josh about the summer he spent a couple weeks with us at my parents place right on the lake. We were probably 12 or 13 at the time. It really is a beautiful town. Please keep up the blog, we check our friends blogs way more often than facebook.

Hi Lindsay, it is Melissa Sherwood. I came across your blog and I am so excited to have found it!!! You have such beautiful girls...way cute. It has been such a long time. Sounds like you guys have been all over and having a great time. We are living in New Brunswick right now for about a year and will hopefully be coming back next summer. Rob and I have 3 boys, Tanner (4), Justin (3) and Ethan is 4 months. They are so fun. Anyways if you want to check out my blog, send me your email address to mel_sherwood@hotmail.com and I will send you an invite. It so nice to see what you guys are up to. :)
