WE'RE HERE!!
Sorry it has taken a couple of days to post, but we are here!!
Edinburgh is beautiful. Our flat is much more spacious than we had thought. All is going very well.
The flight here was great. We had gotten delayed until midnight but once on the plane, everyone slept. Hannah fell asleep on my lap before takeoff and didn't wake until we taxied into the Glasgow airport. Jacob and Alexander and Benjamin all fell asleep shortly after we were in the air and we woke them up a half hour before we landed to go to the washroom! Did the adults sleep?? Not so much, we got sucked into a movie instead....when will the adults learn??
Anyhow, here we are!
I am posting from a friend's computer (one of many I have made thus far) who is also from Canada. There are a ton of children here who all run wild in the back yard/court. It is terrific!!
We hope to have a phone and internet in the next couple of weeks so that we can continue to post, email, and call.
Thanks for all the prayers...we have felt truly blessed to have such a smooth trip!
FYI We are 6 hours ahead from Atlantic Standard time. I am writing this at 9pm on Friday so it would be 3pm in NB/NS.

Finally!!! I've been anxiously awaiting a post from you, Bev:). I am so glad for you that your plane ride went smoothly. And it's soooo wonderful that you're settling in well and have found lots of friends already! God has been good. Can't wait to see some pics! We miss you.
Wow Bev glad to hear you are all safe and sound in Scotland! It sounds like everything is coming together wonderfully for you!
Can't wait to read more of your posts from away and learn a bit about life in Scotland through you guys :)
Take care!
Glad to hear that all the kids slept well...guess they were worn out from their quality time with aunt Cindy! Looking forward to seeing things for myself, but not surprised to hear you are making friends easily - you're such a good friend to have.
Love ya!
It was great hearing your voice on the phone today, Bev... You better keep visiting those new neighbors so you can give us BLOG updates until you get your own phone hooked up..Tell my grandbabies that I love them (You and Shawn too) and anxiously waiting for more news and some pictures of your new home...Love Grammie Weir(Mom)
Glad to hear that you arrived safe and sound. Hope you get the opportunity to visit around the UK. I did part of my student teaching in England and loved it! I wish I knew how to blog... life in the desert is very different.

So glad to hear that you had a good trip and that things are going well there. Looking forward to future blog entries with pix of your surroundings and travel. It was great to have you at Edith Ave. on the 27th. Leah Ferguson was in the hospital this week but is home now. I am now officially a senior citizen and share my B.D. with John Trott. Peter and family were at Edith Ave. this a.m. to celebrate with John.
Blessings. Barrie
Re: Time
Bev, I am confused about your comment on the time there and here. I checked the net for the difference and when it was 9:00 p.m. here they said it was 1 a.m. there - which is what I thought it was (a 4-hour difference).
A note of interest - the time comments are posted are given in Eastern Time Zone terms although if you preview the comment it is given in Pacific Coast Time Zone terms.
