Happy Christmas Preparations...

I hope that everyone is enjoying the Christmas season and all the preparations that come along with it. It's easy to get frustrated at the line ups and busy-ness...but just step back and enjoy the season. Don't forget the reason that we give at Christmas. It's because God gave us the most precious gift of all, his Son. I challenge anyone who reads this to do what we've done with our children the last few years at Christmas. Find someone in need, whether financially or someone who is lonely, or just someone who would not expect you to be doing something nice for them, and then do something out of the ordinary for them this Christmas season. There's nothing better than giving a gift, big or small, to someone who is completely unsuspecting of it and seeing the surprise and enjoyment on their face. That's the real meaning of gift-giving as far as I am concerned.

AWANA CUBBIE CLOSING...

Abby has been attending Awana Cubbies in Sussex this year with her friend, Grace. Yesterday was the closing for the year (yeah, no more driving down every week!) She did have a great time, learned alot and make some new friends. Even Mom and Dad got a participation awared:)

EBBI PLAY

EBBI put on a play last Friday night entitled 'No Matter the Cost'. They really did a great job and portrayed the life of a church who is touched by persecution and their pastor is sent to jail for preaching the Bible. It really touched my heart and made me realize how very thankful we should be to live in a country with religious freedoms.

SPRING FUN!

Well, I think spring might finally be here..I'm anxiously anticipating planting a veggie garden for the first time in alot of years! Mrs. Fosmark is also going to give me some raspberries, so I'm excited to get them transplanted soon. There's a new nursery in town...Green Village...I think Abby and I will have to check it out on Friday..maybe we'll have some pictures. Spring and gardening are my escape...just sit down on your knees and dig in the dirt:)

Hello again!

Hello everyone!

Well, spring is here and I thought I'd blog again! I'm going to post a few pictures from our family..and I mean family...trip to Grand Manan in September. We actually got my Dad and Mom to go along as well as my sister and family, and my brother and his little boy. It was a great, relaxing time. Good for my parents, they never do anything like that. Stephen and I are planning to go over again the week of July 21st with friends, Albert and Jocelyn Arsenault.

Thought you'd lost me!!

Hey there!! Been awhile...I've gotten caught up in the Facebook addiction!! Between that and moving, I've been busy. My nephew is going home tonight...he's been with me for 2 weeks, it's been relatively smooth sailing. We just got back from Family Camp this morning...we had a great time even though we didn't get to stay for the whole time. We had to get back to finish up with moving things. 5 days till moving day!! I've been busy packing up, painting the other house, transplanting plants to the new house, etc. That's it for now..

ABBY IS 4!!

It's hard to believe our baby is 4...she had her party May 19th with a few of her little friends. Her birthday was on Sunday the 20th. She's getting to be such a big girl...WE LOVE YOU, BEE!
