July 1st and More

Our Internet has been cutting out, on and off the past few weeks hence my lack of blogging! Soooo.... Happy Canada Day everyone! Canada day for me (and the day before) was spent doing inventory at work.... I can now honestly tell you that I know 99.99 of everything that we have in the store....

After I finished up inventory I joined Shawn and Scott at a Youth Group event that was going on at the Jahn's house. We had a swim and then drove over to see the fireworks in Almonte.

Last night we had long time friends of ours, the Poons over for a visit. We have known them since I was 6 months old! Gosh, suddenly I feel old...


They are moving from their home in Ottawa to Calgary this month so this dinner together was our last time together for a while. We are going to miss them. Dad travels to Calgary a few times a year so Mom and Dad will hopefully see them at different times. Chris is home from Hong Kong. He has been doing mission work there over the past 8 months.

Playing Apples to Apples (I lost badly)


Last Monday, Mom and I went to see Leah, Alexia and Lina for a few hours. Little Lina is getting so big! Here is sweet Alexia.
Yogurt is fun!

Baby Lina



Have a great week everyone!

A Letter From My Mother

8 years ago Mom gave me a letter. It was on the day that we went to see "Anne of Green Gables the musical" at Centerpointe Theater in Ottawa. The letter has meant alot to me over the past 8 years. I wanted to share some excerpts of the letter with you.


Dear Erin Sarah Deanna, April 30, 2003

I love you. I am thankful for the time here with you today at "Anne of Green Gables" More then the play - I am glad to be here with you! I can't think of another woman or girl I'd rather be here with.


I look so forward to our years together as your father and I teach and train you... "That our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace" (Psalm 144:12)


It will be very rewarding to learn with you as we train you in the ways of the Lord. "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God" (1 Cor. 3:19a)


May the Lord bless you and keep you my dear daughter. I love you. "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain - but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised".


Love, Mommy xoxoxo
