Catching Up!

The last couple of weeks have been full...full of sickness (we got a cold/flu bug that has taken it's time making it through our house...we ended up taking Titus to the walk-in clinic on Saturday for an ear infection, poor guy), a visit from my brother Paul (before the sickness really hit), a precious afternoon enjoying our first "high tea" and a walk around Fort Langly, arts and crafts (Faith), and lively imaginations for which I am so thankful for! When it rains a lot (as in, they are predicting that we will not see the sun for something like 20 days!) it's a blessing to have kids with imaginations to fill up the "rainy day time". Although, if I am being honest, between the sickness and the rain there have been many more DVD's watched, Wii games played, and Nintendo DS time then they would normally have!

We are still waiting for Bryan's work visa...but at least we have a time reference. It's looking like it should be here the last week of February! Our biggest prayer, right now, is that it would come in time for Bryan to be able to go to the Shepherd's Conference the beginning of March. So, if you are praying, could you keep praying?!!!

Here is a peak at the last couple of weeks...I figured you didn't need to see pictures of sick kids, so here are the more pleasant ones!:)




We had such a special "girls day out" with "Miss Donna"! Very sweet memories!

Titus and Caleb truly do love to play together (in this picture they are being "tough guy hockey players). But Titus does love having the upper hand! Hence, the "ref" picture below :)




Faith moves from one art project to another...she used up all her window art paint and then moved on to making paper beads! I love her creativity!

Click to enlarge the picture and look closely...can you see the mountains?! On a clear day in the winter when the leaves are off the trees, we can glimpse those magnificent mountains through our kitchen window!!!

Thanks for the update & pictures! We will continue to pray about the Visa!
And Faithy-- you did a beautiful job on those wall art pictures! Way to go!...and that reminds me, did Grace ever finish her horse painting that she was so diligently working on? :)
Despite the sickness, looks like there were some fun times. Those sweets at your special tea look absolutely wonderful. I'm sure they tasted absolutely wonderful, too! And from what I understand, if you eat sweets with tea, the tea negates all the calories ;-D
