World Travelers!

Well if you haven't heard yet, the Schercks are moving to Canada. The school we worked for in NC could no longer afford to keep our position, so we were let go a couple weeks ago. We were disappointed at first because we didn't want to leave the girls we had developed relationships with, but the inconsistencies in the program were a concern for us. We got several calls back very quickly from the many resumes Jim put out on the internet. We got intervews done by conference calls and were offered a position in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I know it is far away, but there are many positives for our family. We know that the Lord has His hand in our lives and guides us to where He needs us. We feel very strongly that there is a reason we were here in NC for these past 6 months and there is a reason that we are going to Canada now. We love what we do and couldn't imagine doing anything else. We feel that we are serving the Lord and making such a difference in the lives of the kids that come into our home. We are truly looking forward to this new adventure. We are on the road right now traveling to Jacksonville to spend some time with family before going up there. We are all packed up in our 24 foot enclosed utility trailer. Jim is a phenomenal packer and has everything strapped down. It took a lot of work to get us all packed up this time with the babies needing us so much. Jim has built a bedroom for us in the front . Our king mattress is up on a platform with room underneath for 34 tubs of stuff. Then he has a closet system for our hanging clothes and a tub system that we bought at IKEA for our clothes and stuff. It is really great! He is a genius! That way we can stop when we need to along the way. Since we are going to another country, we need pictures to cross the border. We had the hardest time getting the babies to be still and look straight. The slide show pictures are the result of shooting continuous shots in hopes we would catch them looking straight. I made noises while Jim held them. They just wanted to look at Daddy. At one point Jim had Alyssa on his head so she couldn't see him, but she decided to play with his hair and still did not look up. We thought they were so cute.
