We've lived here in Langham 3 months already! How time flies! I was really worried that the winter months would drag being "secluded" out here...but it's turned out to be the opposite. Being out of the city has put less pressure on me to be "out" all the time and that has meant bundling up the kids less with much less fussing! I have thoroughly enjoyed just being here and not always urgently rushing out of the house to take a useless trip to Walmart.
Yesterday we took our first family breakfast trip to Babalu's restaurant on Main Street. No traffic...it took us 5 minutes to get there...including packing up the kids in the van. No having to beat the morning rush...as we were the only ones in the restaraunt...so nice! Breakfast was decently priced and great tasting...can't ask for any more. Then we drove to the post office...a 20 second drive across the street...yes it was kind of stupid to drive! And no Id required to pick up a package...because they know who you are! The church here has been so welcoming and it has been such a great experience...and it's right around the corner from our house...so we rarely have to start the vehicle.
We are looking forward to summer and being able to be outside enjoying the town more...biking, walking, going to the park...and worrying less about Ben being run down in the street!

I'm so glad you and your little family are happy in Langham! That town sure did right by me for many years. I'm glad to see that some things never change.

There is something about small town life that brings out the best in us. Seems to be suiting you very well...you're outgoing, hospitable, ready to help out and get involved, definately not shy to reach out to others...and all that observation with only beginning to get to know you :o)
By the way, how do you and Alexa know each other??
Heather as in Heather Wall? Vivian and I met when she started coming to the C&C at Emmanuel Baptist. I invited her over for Easter turkey leftovers one night (obviously near Easter) - was it 6 years ago? And the rest, as they say, is history.
