hello...

Just writing a quick update for all you who wait with bated breath for the next blog post from the FlanClan (ehhum, hi mom). Nell Lavender is approaching two months and we continue to fall more and more in love with her. Dennis is officially obsessed with anything that plays music, has lights, or buttons. Thus, the DVD/CD player that my mom gave him (thanks, mom) is his very close friend. He also puts on concerts with his guitar sometimes that are absolutely amazing. I have to admit that I'm getting excited about his undeniable love of music!

I went back to work about two weeks ago, so Lauren has been at home with the two kids, learning that new reality. She's doing great so far, especially amidst the austere Montreal winter. She still has two more births to attend and a few more projects/book reports to complete her doula apprenticeship. We're hoping to get to those in the spring. As for work with YWAM, things have been really crazy. I won't get into all the details, but both our Urban Cultures School and YWAM Montreal itself has taken a beating these past few months. Nonetheless, we're moving forward, learning from our mistakes, feeling more united and more positive about the next few months.

So, there it is. It's not much but it's all I can muster at this point. I hope to post again soon!
