Mexico - Canada

The return of Alexandra and Jose-Manuel! They finally received their visa's after the Canadian Embassy went on strike in Mexico and were on the plane to Canada. They are only able to stay for a month this time, but it's good to have them around! Trusting this time is fruitful and beneficial in many ways!
The one super hot day I was doing some baking for a girls night (invitation stuffing night) and Manny wanted to help me so he made the individual trifles
Ally made the pudding
And... everyone worked together on the watermelon bowl. I so appreciate Manny's willing attitude to pitch in and help wherever needed - such a blessing to have!

(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!

Sunday Afternoon

 One Sunday afternoon I brought these adorables back to the farm for some fishing! It's all I could do to get them to stop!                                     Hudson wanted to keep catching them, didn't think that it mattered if we couldn't eat them all!
