During our quest to replace ice hockey for the girls and possibly softball as well,(there might be softball in Ireland), we were looking at the web site for sports in Cork and saw fencing. In our local rec program in Summerland fencing was being offered by a couple that have helped coach our Canadian Olympic team so I asked the girls if it would be something they would be interested in trying and they said sure. Well that was in Sept and they love it. Fencing is big in Europe and there is a Fencing Club in Cork City. The girls are also interested in trying field hockey which is also big in Europe. They love being involved in sports which makes us happy because it keeps them fit and busy. There are so many things to consider when you move a family. We will also have to find a guitar teacher for TaLeah and a piano teacher for Shanaya as well as a place to buy quilt fabric for Denise to satisfy her addiction. Gary has already found a gym for us in a great new facility the last time he went over there.It is getting harder for us to maintain our youthful bods but we keep trying HaHa!! Now we just have to find a Tim Hortons and a good Christian Book store and everyone will be happy.

field hockey is an amazing sport! hopefully the girls will love just as much as my sister and I do! It's cool to see how God is working to help in your transition I'm so excited to see the things God will use you for! It's really encouraging to me!
