Daily Life

Time for a quick update!


We are back living on the Manitoban Prairies! We had a wonderful 2 1/2 months in Germany visiting with Georg's parents, family, and friends, but we have decided to call southern Manitoba home for the time-being.

Georg is working the crazy-long hours of a grain farmer and I am slowly integrating myself back into the workforce, while raising an 8 1/2-month old. Right now I'm only working 6 hour days, 3 days a week, and that is a struggle! Especially the days following a night of teething or fussiness. BUT, I am glad to be back in the loop of Manitoban agriculture again. I have gotten a position at the Farm & Food Discovery Centre, an agriculture interpretive centre jointly sponsored by the federal and provincial governments, the University of Manitoba, Manitoba Pork Council and a private donor. I am slowly working my way into a programming position - basically encouraging more tourism to the place. I am excited about this job and think that I wil really enjoy it...once I figure out the childcare situation (which is a nightmare!!).

Here are some pics of our everyday life:
