Fishing Trip

Fishing Trip   October 27, 2013

   Yesterday we tried to go "fishing" but the ditches by our house were dry, so when Ben got home from work we took the girls to Stafford Lake.
   It was beautiful to be there when the sun went down. The girls were disappointed nobody caught a fish, but they did find lots of treasures on the beach.
   It is crazy that yesterday Hannah was putting her bare feet in the lake, and today we got our first snow!

Neighbours Baby Bunnies

Neighbours Baby Bunnies   October 18,  2013

  

                                                      Hannah wasn't too impressed.

                                                                       So cute!

 All cozy in there little nest.

 

Awwww. Today we got to go see our neighbours baby bunnies, they are so tiny, soft and CUTE! Saidey and I think we need to give bunnies another try, which a makes Ben annoyed! We gave ours to Randy for his birthday because Hannah was allergic, but she seems fine now. Or maybe we have enough pets and should leave the bunnies to the neighbours:)

   We had a lovely Thanksgiving long weekend. Ben had 3 days off and got a lot done on the fence. We had thanksgiving dinner at my parents, and the girls were very excited there cousins were there also! They had a lot of fun, especially jumping in the leaf pile Uncle Kyle raked for them.
   We also went for a picnic at Readymade park, probably the last time until spring, it was pretty cold eating supper outside.
   I am so thankful for many things but especially for the loving care God has shown to our family, I am also thankful for Ben's job where there is never a shortage of work so that we can buy food and drink, clothes ( lots of clothes:)), and pay for our house. I am also thankful for our healthy family, especially because Saidey has been so healthy for the past 3 years she hasn't even needed to be admitted to the hospital even once. Also I am thankful that I get to be a stay at home mom, that has been my dream since I was about 6 years old:)
    On Monday morning at breakfast we went around the table saying what we were thankful for, Saidey said "Grandma", Hannah said " Hot chocolate", Ben said " His family" and I said " A healthy family".

   Fall is here and we love it. This summer was busy an fall seems a lot slower. Saidey has been in   Pre school for about a month and she loves it. She was devastated when she had to miss 2 days for a trip to BC.
   Some exciting things have been happening. On October 1st we Got a new Niece and a new Nephew! ( Not even twins, what are the chances)
Last week we found a chain link fence on Kijiji that is almost big enough to go around our whole yard so Ben has started working on that. The girls are very excited because sometimes they are scared to go outside because of big dogs running through our yard.
And we got family pictures taken when we were in BC, thanks Jackie!!! Here is a few of my favorites

                                                                       Awww

                                                                        Love It!

 

 

 

The reason we were in BC was because Bens Opa VanOene Passed away.  Opa was a very special man. He was a Minister for many years retireing 2 years before Ben was born. He continued to preach until two weeks before he passed away giving his 7210th sermon.

We are very thankful that Opa and Oma were able to travel all the way here from BC in 2008 so that Opa could officiate our wedding, that will always be very special!

I will remember Opa as happy man. He was always excited to see us when we came to vist, alwys giving us a hug and a kiss on the cheek. It was nice to vist Opa and Oma at there house, he always dug out some toys for Saidey and Hannah to play with and never seemed nervous or grumpy if the girls came into there living room filled filled with nick nacks and pictures.

We were not able to vist Opa while he was sick, but we did get to see him on Facetime over the computer while he was in the hospital. It was shocking to see him so sick, when just 3 short months before that we were sitting on Bens parents patio with him having coffee and he seemed so alive and healthy!

 Opa was a happy healthy Christian man who lived a good life, and we know he is in a better place now. We do grieve especially with Oma , as she now has to adjust to life without Opa, and  move into a new place. We pray for her often and hope she is doing well.
