Cabin Fun

We went up to the cabin for a few days. It is always so much fun spending time up there. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we still had a lot of fun. 

The traditional bench photo! LOL!

Visiting with Gigi Baba

We visited with Gigi Baba. THis is my Mom's mom. She is so wonderful! I really enjoyed spending time with her while we were home. 

Since we were there, she had a fall and broke her top to vertebrae and wrist. If you think about it, please pray for her. FOr healing and the Lord's comfort and peace. 

Maybe this is where Emalina gets her light colored hair and blue eyes! 

Heritage Park

My Mom and I took the kids to Heritage Park on afternoon. 

We had fun looking at all the old buildings, riding the train, eating Rock candy and swinging on the swing. 

LLC Vancouver Reunion!

When I knew that I would be going home for a while this summer, I sent an email out to 8 of my good friends from college saying we should have a reunion and get together while I was home. 

Back in the fall of 2003 a group of us from Trinity Western University spent a semester in Ottawa. WE lived in a historic mansion together, took classes together, ate together, worked together and yes, even slept together in the same super bed! It was a semester that I will never forget and from it came some of my closest friendships from University. 

WE planned a weekend in Vancouver over the first weekend in June. We had an extensive itinerary planned (thanks to Shelby), but in the end we mostly just hung out chatting the nights away! It was so wonderful seeing these girls again. You never quite know how it will be, after 8 long years had passed! But it was a fantastic weekend reunion! It was as if nothing had changed... Even though a bunch has... 

5 of us are married, 3 of us have kids, all of us have gone down paths in very different directions, but we were still able to come together and have a great time! 

We are already planning a few future reunions!

Thanks so much ladies for a great weekend.. and for Sarah who opened up her beautiful home to all of us, Rache and Jaydes for driving me all over the place. 

Love you all!

This is Emalina sporting her homemade diaper... an old dish towel, maxi pad and plastic bag! 

I think Jaydes and I should go into business... what do you think?

Fun with Cousin Rocky!

My brother's little guy Rocky was at my parents for a little while we were there. 

He is such a sweet little boy. 

I love this picture below... It will be great to spend more time together as the kids get older. They are going to have so much fun together. Rocky and Ethan are just 6 months apart. 

Rocky vs. the watermelon!

Rocky won!
