Mother's Day (Update)

As some of you know this has become an annual occurrence; where I update my moms "children" wall with all of us as we change from year to year! Some of them have an extra person added this year:) Love our ever expanding family!
 Jonathan - Gr. 8 (11) 
The baby of the family but growing into quite the gentleman! Love his genuine tenderness towards the Lord and everyone around him! A very detailed oriented with a big servants heart!
Excelling in his school and music and enjoys doing anything with his big brothers and sisters!
Future ambitions: horse jumping and football
Micah - Gr. 8 (13)
Our caring, dramatic, who loves to make sure all his outfits are the latest and best! 
He can't wait for hockey season to begin - not sure whether it's because he loves the game or because this means he can grow his hair out!
Give him his sax and he'll blow you away with his incredible talent - Jazzing up life!
Future Ambitions: Saving up for flight to South Africa
James - Grade 11
This guy is one of the hardest working men I know! Works landscaping job all summer as well as different barns milking! He gets up at 4am and doesn't normally stop till late into the night: As well as working on his schooling now. He's got a full plate, but he's got drive! 
Super proud of him and the life decisions he is making! Can't wait to see what's in store!
Faith - RPN Conestoga College (freshman)
So incredibly proud of this girl! Her determination and many hours of hard study and work have landed her here in the RPN program! She is going to be one incredible nurse! She was able to help out at a camp this past summer, which she thoroughly enjoyed as she saw different ways God was able to use her!
Rachel & Daniel
Daniel was the Assistant Camp Director with CEF in Paris, ON this past summer and started his Business Admin and marketing program at Conestoga!
Rachel was the Youth director at the same camp and will be going to CMI in Missouri for her diploma in Children's Ministry

Rachel (me)
I have been so thankful for the Lord's strength and grace over this past year. Many small changes, but have greatly effected every day!
I am continuing to care for my 5 adorable children - love learning with them and seeing them grow into such beautiful kids! Also very involved in my church, which is definitely a season I am loving. Makes for some super late nights as I make the trip to and from Brantford pretty  much every night! 

Aaron & Hannah
First year of marriage complete! 
This couple has been living in an apartment in Kitchener, ON and very involved in their church as well. Aaron continues to work with Dad at Toman Electric and Plumbing. Hannah continues to teach music and is a secretary at Renew ability! 

Missing a picture of Chris & Jenelle
They are still working on getting one "good enough" to add to my collection! 
Having them oversees makes it more of a challenge to get pictures and share life moments with, but we are really thankful for how the Lord is using them over there! Can't wait to see them again, here or there, can't be soon enough!

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!
