Canada in Thunder Bay was coooooold! Brrrrrrr.
But Liisa's house was warm and friendly. We had lots of good talks with Liisa and her boyfriend.
We had lots of good talks and played some monkey video game and laughed and laughed! She also took us to some frozen water falls. Very beautiful!

Michigan with Jerilyn
We went back to Jerilyn's house for about a week. The boys really enjoyed having Bec around, they took turns taking her snow sledding, out for lunch and other super adventures.
New years eve was especially fun! We went to Jerilyn's brother's house and played on the Skidoos until 2 am. Bec was cruising around at 30 MPH! She had such a great time. David had a great time cruising around too! I drove a little, but those things are hard to maneuver!
It was a great and fun beginning to the new year!

Wisconsin visiting Chrissy
We took a day trip to visit Chrissy in Wisconsin. It was fun having coffee and talking with her fiance.
Catching up with blogs...
Hi everybody...sorry it has taken so long to catch up with blogs...life on the road is pretty non-stop and exciting..but we have some time at the moment so I am going to catch you up as best as I can.
David and Bec came back Dec 17th. Bec enjoyed the snow, but surprised at how amazingly cold it was...I think she thought that snow was more like sand....it could be warm and snowing at the same time.
On Christmas eve David went back into the hospital because he started getting his dizzy spells again. It was just a day visit this time and the doctor said it was vertigo. We got some travel sickness tablets and that was it. My mom took this opportunity to take Bec out to the shops and get her a new Christmas outfit. We met up with them later at my Aunt and Uncle's house. For dinner.
Christmas day we spent at my cousins where we ate dinner, talked and played games. You can see the pictures of Bec as a Christmas tree in the pictures. Everyone had lots of fun.

Life in Chicago
Well here I am waiting for David to get back with Bec. They fly in on December 17th.
So until then:
I am blogging..evidently because here it is.. :)
I am doing a work trade for yoga classes at the yoga studio across the street from my mom's place.
I am doing nutritional cleansing..I just released 10 pounds and 40 inches since September when we started.
And I just got a new job as a mother's assistant to a woman who is doing talks on the dangers of cell phone use and children.
I have seen two movies with my mom Enchanted, which was pretty cute and August Rush, which was a really really great movie! Loved it! Loved it!
So now you are pretty much caught up with our journey this far.
I try to update the blog more frequently now so you can be in the moment with us.
Until next time...

Life in Australia
When David got back to Australia he got pretty sick. But he is doing much better now.
He also had his birthday that he celebrated with Scott and Bec. He was super happy to see Bec and she was so happy to see her dad!
Scott was also glad to see him and has been making fancy meals for all of them. (Scott is a really good chef, 30 and single so if you know anyone...)
David missed being home, mostly the birds and the other wildlife that is there. Our back yard has a large variety of birds and trees. One day he put the microphone next to the window so I could hear the sounds of home. It was really nice. One day he had the camera set up so I could see the trees...I really miss our home too...
At present David is cleaning and organizing our house. Getting it ready for my stuff to get there. (My boxes just got shipped over from California.) 20 boxes and my massage table. But also, when we get back home we plan on making the house like a retreat center. To teach people about health, energy, love and spirit. During this trip we have met heaps of people and can't wait for everyone to come visit when we get back. So there is David back home painting, putting up curtain rods and generally getting it in tip top shape. I just can't wait to see it!
We get back home August of next year, so if you want to come visit, just let us know and we will see you around then :)

Chicago
After Jerilyn's house we head over to my mom's house. My mom lives in Downer's Grove, which is a suburb of Chicago, but pretty much if you live anywhere near Chicago they call it the Chicagoland area. We are only there a couple of days and then I have to take David to the airport so he can go back to Australia.
(He had to leave the country for a while so he could extend his visa. I am going to be spending the next month and a half with my mom in Chicago.)
I dropped him off so he could check in and had to bring the car around to park. We were running late because we thought he was leaving international, but actually he had to go to LA first so it was a domestic. O'Hare airport is super tricky. I finally got parked and went to go meet him. I realized that I needed to run so I could get to him before he needed to go through baggage check. I am running from the garage, the moving sidewalks are down.....running running as I am running I am hearing some guy playing saxophone....as I get closer I realize he is playing Leaving on a Jet Plane... Such a movie moment...
I finally make it up stairs...(the escalator is also down so I am running up the escalator too.)
I finally get to the floor and see him and run over to give him a big hug.
We have a short time to hug...I stay with him in line until he has to go through and then we say good bye.
As I drive away from the airport Bon Jovi is singing I'll Be There For You.
Music...it's the soundtrack to our lives....
