Jill, Hanna, Lucy, Carly ready for church on our first Sunday in Canada. They even sang "O'Canada" in church that day.
Moving to a new place is like jumping in a cold lake. It is refreshing but it takes getting used to and sometimes you start to feel warm and other times you want to get out.
But mostly things are great in our new life.
*We get to hang out with family.

Austin holding down a calf at the branding*Jill and Hanna went to basketball camp at the high school. They really had tons of fun, made new friends and played hard. Jill got an award for Best Shooter. We are working on converting from Mustangs to Cougars. It's rough.
*For Canada Day, I took the girls and we left the ranch and went to Elkwater to swim in the lake. It was super fun. That night we went to a small town of 4 people (Orion) and watched fireworks. People come from all around to watch. They were impressive for a small town.

The view of Waterton National Park that we see on our way to church. Our church is in this picture in a hamlet called Leavitt. We are in the Leavitt Ward. Guess what our Bishop's name is? Bishop Leavitt Guess what the Relief Society President's name is? Sister Leavitt Guess what the Young Men's president's name is? Brother Leavitt

That's funny about the leavit ward. Atleast you won't have to worry about getting big callings. lol
I laughed right out loud about the Leavitts. Talk about a small Mormon community.
Switching to cougars, that IS tough. Good luck!
Thanks for the pictures...my girls have been asking about them. It is beautiful!!! Sometimes its hard coming into a new ward and forgetting names...you won't have that problem. We miss your sweet girls (and parentss)! Thanks again for the updates.
love the wrights
I bet Jill doesn't write a paper about holding the bucket during branding at school this year! Keep smiling and swimming for that matter! Love ya
looks like you guys are settling in. i bet Austin likes being around his family again!
You will love it here. We are so glad your family moved into the ward and we hope you stay. There are some really great people here and with the trail ride today you met a lot of them.
So glad you came on the trail ride, it was fun and I hope you get to stay in the ward.
Oh don't worry, alot of non Leavitts get to have callings in the Leavitt ward, and I'm guessing you are on someone's hit list! :)
I hope it just gets better and better for you, Great to have you here!!!!
What a view! I sure enjoy seeing your pictures and reading your updates.
One of these summers we will go back up to Glacier and come visit you.
