The Days Leading up to Christmas


Execution Rock
A lot of really sad history right here - they would walk the guilty from the village below up the long side of the mountain to the highest peak. If they survived being pushed off they were considered "clean". You can only imagine what kind of life they would have after they had been pushed from such a height...IF they survived! So sad!
Barefoot grocery shopping - yes guys you gotta try and embrace as much of the culture as you can!
This folks is epic, gross if you really think about it, but epic!
Hmmmm hmmm!
This folks if living the wild life on the edge!
Swimming on Christmas Eve - we may need to make this a new tradition if I am in a warm country! 
Jenelle and I cooked and cooked and cooked Christmas Eve till our feet hurt! It was crazy fun to be in the kitchen again with her as we used to spend SO many hours together here! It's a great bonding thing, I promise you should try it!
Introduced Chris and James to these amazing dutch donuts - Oliebollen
This we have decided is going to be out Christmas Eve tradition - not the norm New Years Eve!
So Christmas Eve we ate these delish sweets, watched a movie and played games! Till 12:00am then went directly to bed!:) :We were all so done!
So happy to be together for Christmas!

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...
