Happy Birthday Canada

 Almighty love by thy mysterious power
In wisdom guide
With faith and freedom dow'r
Be ours a nation evermore
That no oppression blights
Where justice rules from shore to shore
From lakes to nothern lights
May love alone
For wrong atone
Lord of the lands make Canada Thine own
Lord of the Lands make Canada Thine own

After brunch July 1st, 2013 those that were here went out to the flag pole and had a small devotional and singing time. May God bring revival to our needy nation
Yes, the wedding is only 3 months away!!!
Waiting w. smiles



 The river was up quite a bit - the river was moving nicely
 Taking a break

 Looks a little out of proportion:)
 *smile*
 Was a great canoe trip:) Jonathan kept us entertained - wanting to tip anyone that came in sight!
 Some of Mark's nephews were down - so they joined us - our boys loved having them

We got back from the canoe trip and all the boys wanted to go swimming in our pond to try ou the swing dad just put up!
 Everyone was ready for supper - some ate here
some ate here
 some ate here!
 After supper we had a time of singing - all squished on the couch

So thankful for family and friends that the Lord brings across our path! We all have so much to be thankful for living in this great nation! Afterwards we were talking and there is so much that we take for granted living here... such sheltered lives we live! It was a great day - so thankful!

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

The Pre-Health  program at Conestoga seemed to be the best option, as I wanted to get my accreditation for  Paramedicine   at Conestoga College. Returning to school was quite the adjustment as I had not been in full time school for 6+ years, but it quickly grew on me as I got to know my colleagues and schedule. It took me awhile to re-teach myself how to study... it's different as an adult! February - Within the first week I found out that as a mature student, using my grades from the "Pre-Health" program (instead of my highschool transcript) they would NOT even look at my application for Param...
