Just thought I'd share . . .

Just thought I'd share this with you all. Seth has been noticing that I have been taking extra pictures lately for our blog. And now, almost every little thing that he does, he asks, "Are you going to take a picture of me, Mommy?" I have to laugh every time, I just think it is cute.

A John Deere Tractor.

Last Friday, Paul wanted to take Seth shopping. So off the 2 of them went to TSC where they were having their Midnight Madness Specials. Paul wanted to buy Seth the John Deere tractor that was on sale. Seth was so excited with it and has been playing with it for hours.


Here's the happy little boy with his tractor. He just loves Mighty Machines and Tractors and all those things that little boys play with.

The Greatest Gift!

Even though we may enjoy the festivites of the Christmas season and the family gatherings, may we be reminded of the greatest gift of all. The gift that God has given to us as believers. The gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift!

Christmas Time at our Home!

We love the festivites of the Christmas season. It has been tradition for the last couple of years to put up our tree on the last weekend in November. We put on Christmas music and start decorating. This time Seth was able to help out a little with the decorating. We did have an ornament break in the process, but we still had fun.


Here is our tree all decorated. We even have wrapped gifts under it as well. We like to do our shopping early. Our goal is to have all our shopping done before December.

Farewell Brian!

Brian is leaving us on Wednesday for Holland. There he will work for 1 year and spend some time with his girlfriend Rebekka. We hope that you have a safe trip Brian and God will bless you while you are there. And may you return back here in 1 year. We'll all miss you!


Here's the group that gathered together last night to say farewell to Brian. We had a good turn out with 11 people. It was fun to get out all together.

Baby on the Way.

Here is a picture of my pregnant belly. I am almost 22 weeks along. We had an ultrasound and everything is looking good. We are so thankful to God for giving us this gift. The baby is due on April 3rd. We are all excited to have another little boy or girl to join our family.

Psalm 118:1

"Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Helping Daddy.

Here Seth is wearing saftey glasses because he kept going close to Paul's lawnmower.

Paul was going to cut the grass yesterday and Seth wanted to help. So here you see the 2 of them cutting the grass.

Food For Thought . . .

Attitude

by Charles Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 % what happens to me and 9O % how we react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our attitudes."

A Hockey Fan!

Here is Uncle Jay and Seth posing for a picture after a game of hockey.

We have a Montreal Canadiens fan in our home (partly the influence of Papa and Uncle Jay). Now that hockey season is in full swing, Seth plays hockey. And if you are a visitor in our home, you will more than likely be given a hockey stick and be invited to play along.

Seth having fun in the leaves.

Seth loves being outside. So any chance he gets, he is out there.

Our Family
