florida Vacation

Hi there, back and busy as ever...just wanted to add some photos that I took while away (for more go to Laura's blog!)

This is basically my view the whole trip, Laura was kind enough to do the driving and I got to just sit back with my feet up on the dash and enjoy the views! Laura did a great job driving in unknown areas and I have to apologise for letting her down with the navigating..sorry laura.



The southern part of florida was definitely my favourite, here you could just pull your car over for the day and park under a tree and enjoy the calm, warm water.

Moving!!!

Just a quick update, our house is sold, possesion date is 21st of October! That's the week after Laura and i come back from our Florida vacation....calm before the storm. Thanks to everyone who prayed and encouraged and waited patiently(haha) with us. I am a bit sad to be leaving the first house I ever bought but am relieved not to have to worry about upgrading and renovations.

Moving Day?

Well, we have an offer! There is only one condition...a home inspection....oh boy. So please pray, the inspection is Wednesday evening at 5pm.... I'll keep you posted

I love being an Auntie, (so much easier than being the mommy) Its great to get to know Josiah (above) and Hudson(on red car) they are so animated and creative and much more willing to interact than last time we saw them.

Of course I enjoy my time with Casendra very much, I do miss having a baby around and she gives my much needed quota of cuddles.

Apple Picking

Amy, Sara,Erin and kids came over last Friday to help pick apples from my trees. We have so many and there are still more up there! We had lunch together (complete with apple muffins) and then had our weekly prayer time. It is so great to have Erin back with us for a little while. She really is one of us sisters and we appreciate her so much.

Its not over...

We are still waiting for our house to sell. There have been some close calls but no definite offers as of yet. The good news is that the house we want hasn't sold either. Here are a few photos of the one we want to buy.(one block from Amy and across the street from the school!)

Animal Antics

Ocean didn't go to summer camp this year but she attended Gramma Charlottes Zoo Days throughout the summer! They would spend the day in Sara's back yard with the rabbits, cats, dogs and even the horses. Ocean got her riding lessons and horsecare classes and became quite proficient at both. Thanks Mom for the experience, the fun and the learning.
