Because life goes too quickly...
Because if I don't write it here then it will probably not be written down at all and it will fade into a distant blur...
Because I probably should update this space at least once in a while...
Because our lives are so *very* interesting....
...I feel the need/desire to update a little on the past few months - otherwise known as the summer (remember that season?).
As summers go, it was a fairly uneventful one. There were no trips planned, no large celebrations, no holidays...just "life." We have been finding our time has been kept busy with house renovations - yup, still ongoing - church involvements, work (x2) for Rod, raising two little redheads, and the normal, everyday "stuff."
Early summer (April/May)
-Included an intense weekend or two of re-roofing our house. Although our house was sold as "newer roof" it soon became apparent (from the inside) that a new roof was becoming an increasing priority.
I do need to add that we have *the best* system of family and friends possible. Thank you to all.
-My brother and his wife arrived back from a two+ year trip to the Pacific side of the world.
-We went to my cousin's wedding
-My parents take us to Ottawa
June
-I went to one of my favourite birthday parties ever - a friend of G turned three, and two other moms and I sat under a large tree conversing and eating cupcakes. The kids seemed to have fun, too. Bonus.
-After dropping off some baked goods for a bake sale, I am offered a job - an answer to prayer!
-We celebrate six years of wedded bliss
-I take this picture:
Not life-changing, I know, but I had to share it and I didn't know where else to put it. It makes me laugh every time....what was G thinking when he asked if he could put nunners on her head? What was I thinking when I said yes? How completely unflattering can headwear be? What desperate thoughts of escape and of humouring us are going through her head? The poor girl...
July
-I begin to watch a friend's adorable children a few days a week.
See? cute, eh?
-My wonderful, servant-heart husband takes part in the church intergenerational service project.
August
-We get to go on the annual long-weekend family campout.
-More of these cute kids:
-G turns three
September
-I start my new job! It is a busy class, and yet full of wonderful students. I am really looking forward to getting to know each of them better, and am already so appreciative of the staff and of the school community as a whole. What a blessing this has been!
