These are pretty simple to upload (straight from iPhone to YouTube) so I will try to do this a bit more often.


Here are a few photos of Sawyer at almost 4 months old now.






Cheryl and I were out in Cranbrook for the New Year weekend with Dempsters and Parks. Was a really nice weekend and good to catch up. Here are a couple photos from the weekend.
Dempster Family Photo

We were in Vermilion for the Galloway Christmas this year. Was relaxing as usual to be on the farm and head over to Lumley's for x-mas day. Here is a Galloway family photo. Cheryl and Leith were missing...don't know what we were thinking when we took it...ha ha.
Well, I haven't really blogged at all recently. Seems like Facebook is more convenient, but I'll throw some entries up.
If you haven't heard yet, Cheryl and I are building a new home in Quarry Park. Time for some more room and it fit our preference for a few different reasons. The foundation walls were poured December 30th (Cheryl's birthday).
We figure move in date will be sometime in May.

Mom and Dad Galloway were in Hawaii for a couple weeks in December of 2011, so Cheryl decided to join them for a week.





Our family is now 3 people big. Sawyer was born on September 13th, 2011 at 4:48PM in the afternoon. I won't go into a lot of details, but I have two albums up you can see pictures in.

First Week At Home
Sorry for the lack of posts. Haven't felt motivated much. I'll try to do a spread of a few.
What have we done since our trip to Europe and Israel?
We’ve had a fun time here in Israel but our time is done and we’re heading off to Rome tomorrow morning. Shawna and Scott are going back to Nice as Scott needs to get back to work for Monday. Since leaving the kibbutz we were staying at we’ve been through a few sites:
There is so much history here and so much to see it is hard to keep track of. Old town of Jerusalem is chalk full of interesting sites and the meld of Jews, Muslems, and Christians is interesting. One minute you are in a Greek Orthodox church, the next you see Jews praying along the Western Wall, and you climb up to the Temple Mount to see Muslems coming out of the mosque up top. There is a very impressive holocaust memorial and the Israel Museum has a 1:50 scale model of old Jerusalem from thousands of years ago.
Was kind of weird going to Bethlehem as it is in the Palestinian controlled area of the West Bank so we got to cross through the border there. Rather large wall with some guards but they were very friendly.
Next day was on to the Dead Sea (we were there 2 years ago but on the Jordan side). We got to rub ourselves down with the black mud, so our skin is probably in amazing condition now. Went on to visit the ruins of Masada, a fortress on the top of a mountain overlooking the Dead Sea from a couple thousand years ago.
All in all we are super glad that we decided to come back to the middle east to see this part of the world- it was certainly worth the time.
