A Week In Lewiston

Henry and Heather were going away for a week... so I was asked to stay with the kids!
Tried to keep them occupied -- wasn't too hard since there was school, building to work at, and the neighbors constantly asking for them to come play...
Here are some of the pics

Picnic on the Island
 so cute

 Nate got tired and his eyes got sore....

 waiting patiently for the sandwiches
 
These pictures will always bring a smile to my face. Julia wanted to show us all "Defense 1-4"... Nathan had to practice
 Using an orange as a ball -- left the real one in the van
 getting organized for a sort of tag...

The question of every evening "Rach, can I sleep in your room tonight?" 
Cake Time
 Lyd asked me to bring cake stuff so we could make one together... worked with gumpaste, fondant, etc..
 Kneading, Dyeing. Rolling, Shaping...
 Making the batter
 Explaining
 Our Ombre

 Nathan was being naughty (this was a posed pic)
School Time
So proud of Lydia -- she found a couple of mistakes in the teacher's key!
Nathan listening to my iPod while I was attempting to help the girls with their Algebra



 A pleading look
Had to throw this one in

Whitebird - Lewiston, NY
Extra work around the building and lots of little hands to do it!




 Nathan was supposed to stay in the lunch room - but Mr. Doug allowed him to come out and sort nails.. not sure which one he preferred:(

The Pioneer Table
Guitar -- or not!
 In between the rush of "Rach, I need a bathing suite tomorrow" "Can the boys come to the building" "We need to get groceries" There was a guitar lesson that I didn't know about.
It was one of those days where it was a quick lunch then somehow the dishwasher gets loaded, but not started, rush out the door... only to come back a few hours realizing there were people walking through the house and a man waiting for the children to return for their lesson... all this to say! Mr. Bob came back that night and everything was fine - lesson postponed - however I had to say yes to a ping-pong game and made these smoothies.
 Smoothy time w/ Bob



 Yes, one night we cheated and went to Wendy's - nice break!

I had done Julia's hair that morning to match her red and white shirt she told me she was going to wear -- next thing I knew she put on this pink one - still incredibly cute!
Got into this routine - 30 sit-ups every morning for the girls! Good laughs - sore stomachs!

Was a great experience and so thankful Henry and Heather were able to get away for a time... Was also a really good week for me to refocus on life. You know sometimes you get into this seemingly mundane everyday... Believe it or not made extra time to really seek the Lord this week and was really blessed in Him. So thankful for every day He has given me and praying I use every day ahead of me for His glory... walking in His truth as His plan unfolds before me.

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Lewiston, NY

Had been way to long since I had visited my friends in Lewiston and with a few days off I had to take the time!  They are all growing up so fast, in a way I feel as though I've missed a big chunk of their lives, however I can't be everywhere I'd like all the time - learning to enjoy the moments we do get!  The handsome little man  We ventured on a get-away to Toronto for a few days- stayed in a lovely hotel and had lots of fun together!  Then visited the Peoples Church on Sunday - was really neat to see Charles Price face-to-face and hear him speak. Not quite what I was expecting in the church building, but neat experience!  Walking along the lakeshore with some beauts!  Montana's serves the best stake for a nice price! Love these girls and love who they are becoming! It's always a treat to spend some time alone with them! Love you all!  And yes!! Finally got to meet the two newest additions to the Heikoop Fami...

Baptiste Lake- 2013

Once again this summer we were blessed to be able to spend a week up on Baptiste Lake. Chris was able to come up for the first part of the week and Mark the end - so thankful that both special guys were able to be a part of it this summer:)  Didn't get a lot of good pictures this summer, but here you can see the two cottages we stayed in!  The beautiful lake  At the locks we learned "Everyone wants everything for free" - hey Aaron:)  When we got there we realized we didn't know the code for the cottage and the rental place was already closed down for the night or so we though - it wasn't technically a break in  - we just had to go through the window  Generally every summer we find our way to Eagles Nest - always such a lovely spot to lookout!  Making my mark in the wood:)  The love-birds  Have some interesting poses You can kind of see the look-out from this picture - the scenery up there is beaut...
