Catching up....a Photo montage.

I haven't posted pics since August....so here are a whole bunch of pics showing some of the fun things we have done that past couple of months....not in any order....oops!

Waiting for our breakfast at Cora's....princess-style.

Thank you Pinterest for this rainy day activity!

Sidewalk chalk + sunny day + smooth pavement = FUN!

May in Review

Limbo.....that is the theme of May......nope....not the fun dance that one performs whilst shimmying under a bar......but rather in our case, Limbo refers to us not knowing where we would be moving to learn French.....I must admit it is a tad stressful packing up your things not knowing where we would be moving them in a matter of weeks. I feel this state of 'limbohood' (is that a word??) is like #16 on the list of 'life lessons of a missionary' (out of a bazillion!!) and I am only just beginning to experience this list ....some have been great, others not so much fun to go through. In the end, I know I will look back and see how perfect the timing was on all of this....but dang....for now, I just wanna know NOW!!! :)
In the meantime, here is a snapshot (a lot of them!)) of what we did in May.....

March in Review

March was a very busy month for us.....Phil was away for a week doing some ground school training in Nampa, Idaho at the MAF US Headquarters. We spent one weekend babysitting some of our nieces and nephews which was fun but crazy! We had one road trip left to do and we saw some great friends in Toronto. Kaitlyn had her second ear surgery to replace the tubes that had fallen out....and now she can hear again! Then all 4 of us left for Nampa, Idaho to stay at the MAF Headquarters for 1 month while Phil completed the last phase of his flight training....and good news....He passed and is officially recommended for field service. We had a great time in Nampa, met some good friends (kids and adults), enjoyed some hot sun and relaxing before the craziness of packing begins. 

I am so thankful for our little camera.....it captures so many moments so we will never forget.
