Annual Grand River TIP - 2013

I was so determined to take pictures of this event - however went to get my phone out of my car and realized it was dead - so once again had to rely on others.
 Waiting to get into the water - took a little longer than normal this year
Finally:)
The journey has begun - starting with lots of tipping
My favorite canoeist - special memories on the river 
 
Looks like trouble - I`m sure at least one of those boats ended up upside down - if not all three!
 Loading up after - was the perfect day for canoeing - river was high - sun was shining and the temperature was pretty warm - got chilly at the end, but we turned the heat on in the truck and it was all good:)
A neat couple I got to know a little bit! They have a really neat story - love meeting new people!
BBQ and fellowship time afterwards
Campfire started

Mark took mostly everyone on a wagon ride - felt so much like autumn, was nice.
Then everyone went to the soccer field for an intense game of soccer - was fun to watch (disappointed I couldn`t play) - also got to catch up with Heather a bit which is always a blessing!
Was a fantastic day and William, Sarah, and Nelly did a wonderful job at organizing it all and putting everything together! Thanks guys for making it possible!

(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!

New Postings Coming

Dear Followers, I apologize for not writing on the happenings in the last few months! Many new opportunities, many ups and downs, but through it all - there is so much to learn, and hopefully in the process He's making us into stronger people, becoming more and more like Him! December was filled with lots of different Christmas happenings, get together's, music opportunities, visitations, baking, eating of yummy food, and spending time with family!  I maybe took 3 or 4 pictures - not much to show, but will be bringing more pictures of the upcoming months!  New Years - I was sick again, so I was home alone, while everyone went else where to ring in the New Year! A good time to reflect on the happenings, excitement, disappointments, blessings, and most of all His faithfulness! A lot to remember, be thankful for, but 2013 is past, and although it brought much joy and some of the happiest most fulfilled moments, times - this is 2014 and I'm excited to see what He w...
