We're home, we've moved, we now have internet!

Things have been a little crazy around here as of late.  After returning home from Arizona Sunday night, we started the moving process and haven't stopped!  We've had a stream of guests coming to help and now it's all said and done.  Our boxes are unpacked and we are settled, with the exception of one box of decor yet to be put up in our dining room and a few pictures to be put up in the "office"/new baby's room.  We have been living in our new place since last Friday, but internet was not set up here until today, hence the update! :)  While I was at work the other day, Joey and Ellie had fun with photo booth (see collage below).  Today Ellie said to me, "Momma, cheese....more.....momma?" and then stuck her tongue out.  I think she wanted more photo booth fun! :)

what's next and a special thanks

1.) Joey, Ellie and I are leaving for Hardrock, AZ on saturday with our church to run a VBS for the Navajo.  We'll be in HOT AZ for a week. Pray for us!

2.) When we return we will have a visitor (Nathan Clifton) waiting for us to spend the night! :)

3.) When he leaves we begin to move into our new and BIGGER apt.  It's in the same complex we are currently in with THREE bedrooms instead of two AND a basement!

4.) This is a video of Ellie receiving her gift from Sarah Torgerson.  Thanks, Sarah! She LOVES it! :)

England Highlights-Day 6-7: Cambridge

I have found more time to write about our England adventures! :) 

The last few days of our trip we spent in Cambridge doing what I'm sure most tourists do in Cambridge.

The day after we returned from London, we had a nice relaxing morning and then headed into town for some shopping.  

This is King's College right in the middle of town with shops across the street.  Amazing!

I am aware I've posted similar pics but, this is just too pretty to pass up! 

I have no clue what these guys were all about, but definitely picture worthy (yes, they are in red one-piece spandex suits):

Among getting some grocery items, we stopped into a bakery shop and bought all things necessary to have high tea at home!  Grandma Donna and Grandpa Wayne gave us Torgy grandkids a generous allowance to use as we wished while in England.  We decided quality high tea would be appropriate.  We, of course, had tea as well as scones and clotted cream (which is SOOO delicious, by the way).  We also had little fruit tarts and cupcake-type-yummies! Oh yes, and a black currant pastry. YUMM!

And day 7 of our trip we spent Punting the Cam!  It was Jesse's desire to punt all the way down the Cam to a tea garden, which they had never done before, so that's just what we did!  

Here's the crew waiting to get on the boat:

It took a little longer than desired (is that an understatement, Kelly?) but we did make it there! The kids did wonderfully (is that an overstatement?) despite the long trip:

Joey's first punting experience:

This is a bunch of kids jumping off a bridge into the Cam:

Joey and Ellie:

We didn't get any pictures at the tea garden as we were a little tired and hungry by that point! :(

Kelly, Edmund, Ellie and I walked home (which saved about an hour of time) to get a much needed nap in after a LONG morning. But it was definitely fun and a good experience (I just should have remembered that "Torgerson Time Optimism") :)
