A Big Christmas Surprise – The Beginning of Something New

It’s been a very busy and exciting time for us this month. To catch you all up … and to make the first official announcement out to the world … Courtney and I are stepping away from our jobs and the craziness that life in the modern world brings as working parents with three kids.

Whew. That’s a mouthful. It is so exciting, scary and amazing all at the same time. This opens up a whole new experience for us of home schooling and traveling with our children for the next year/ year and a half.

And we had kept this a complete surprise to our children. That is until Christmas morning.

Christmas morning it all broke loose. In a good way. Courtney and I planned a scavenger treasure hunt for the kids. Not only did they get to traipse all through the house – but also had to research questions on the Internet to answer certain clues to get to their final gift.

Here’s a short slideshow of what happened: http://show-vid.com/view/4c9ax28

I’m looking forward to this next step and hope you will share it with us. Be well and stay in touch!
