Joseph Lake

Lake Joseph in all it's beauty beckoned us to its chilly waters and cozy cottages early October as we were getting ready to say goodbye to Jenelle (my oldest sister) and her husband.
We were blessed with an amazing deal and some generous people in our lives to stay at this amazing cottage! Although it was a cool damp weekend - the warm spacious cottage was just what we needed! 
Chris, I took this picture for you (you know why)!
 All of us kids (plus a new face)! 
 My dear, dear sweet mother! The reason for this pic was that we had done our hair exactly the same, can't really tell her, but I absolutely loved it!
 Our reading space, family time, etc!
 Aaron & Hannah - finally:) So blessed to have you around a bit more Hannah and excited what God is going to do in both of your lives as you continue to seek Him! Love you both so much!

 As per tradition - Daniel and I (now James as well) swim from the end of the dock to the island! Being the beginning of October, this year it was absolutely freezing! We all made it there and back and ran to the hot-tub as soon as we got out!
 A push up kind of morning! All the guys got down (plus Faith) and had a push-up competition! We need not say who won!
 Our family is a coke family!
 Ce' la vie!:)
Enjoyed a lot of hot-tub time!

The leaves were just starting to turn - absolutely beautiful! Thankful for all the family time... yes all the laughs, all the discussions, all the....everything! Was extra meaningful as we were preparing to say goodbye to Jenelle and Chris for 2+ years! It's going to be hard not having them close to us, but knowing this is what their next step is to be makes it a little easier on everyone!

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...

Mt. Pleasant Biking Trail

 I hadn't spent too much time with my younger siblings in awhile - wanted to do something fun with them. Original plan was to go canoeing, but the weather didn't look too promising so Mark and I decided that a bike ride might be a better option! Mark getting the bikes all fixed up - handy man:) Tried to get a picture of the group, but Manny decided to get in front... Some of the group - was thankful Mark came along - really helped keep everyone together and led the group much better than I ever would have been able to! It's just easier to keep 7 kids with another adult... plus it was nice to be able to spend the time with him!  Stopped for a picnic and got a birds eye view such a great shot! Was a great day and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves - we went back to the Windmill and they had a great time playing hide and seek!  Then it was rush home for me for a dress fitting then off to look after my cousins little girls! Will be spendin...
