A little bit of this, A little bit of that

Hi everyone, I bet some of you wondered what happed to the Giesbrecht's, but don't worry we're here we've just been neglectant of our blog.
I'm gonna skip how are Christmas was this year and Ben and I had a nice and quite New Year's at home playing games and trying hoplessly to stay up:) but since the new year we have been trying to get out a bit and enjoy all the snow we've been getting and so here are some pictures of what's been going on.




We went to Pratville (?) on Lake Almanor in Northern California a couple of weeks ago, its just a small town out in the middle of nowhere and Ben's Uncle Jim and Aunt Sandy have a cabin there and they were kind to let us stay w/them for a weekend. The above picture is of Kinsley showing us that he is a very spiritual dog because he can walk on water (we didn't have the heart to tell him it was a frozen lake)


awwww, who's that cute couple w/a pair of red noses?
Here's Ben and Kingsley doing what they do best on a Sunday afternoon

Another pic inside the cabin w/Ben messing around on Jim's banjo
Jim and Kingsley were best friends all weekend long. Jim and Kingsley go way back at Christmas time when Jim shared his beer w/him. Kingsley has a taste for beer, he makes Ben very proud:)

I just thought this picture was pretty w/the lake and the sky
Kingsley was a ton of fun to play w/in the snow. Having Kingsley is so fun, he loves to camp, he loves to swim and he loves the snow, Ben and I couldn't stop laughing at some of the things he would do.


Here's one of those times where Ben and I cracked up. Kingsley would shove his face in the snow and then plow through it, it sure was funny to watch over and over as he did it.

On a bit of a side note, Ben has diligently applied to 20 post doc sites and we are just waiting to hear back from all of them. So far he has interviews w/a site in Connecticut, Michigan & Wisconsin, we got two thank you but no thank you emails from sites in Maryland, so hopefully next week will bring us answers from the last 15 sites. If you all would keep us in your prayers still over the next week that we would hear from more sites that would be appreciated. We know what happens and where we'll end up March 10th, that is of course God willing we get matched w/a place! We are getting ready to go to Hawaii!!!!!! We leave in a week and I'm so excited that it still hasn't hit me:) I hope some hawaiian girl greats me w/a lei when I get there.....do they really do that?
