Mom and Dad's Trip - Part 1

I have been wanting to tell you a bit about Mom and Dad's trip. We have been having some trouble downloading photos from the trip so for now I have pulled some online. There will be a longer trip post coming up.

Their first few days were spent in Calgary. Dad had some meetings and presentations to make.

After that they went to Victoria Island for 4 days. This is a picture of the Delta hotel where they stayed.

Spring is well underway in Victoria this time of year. There were large pots of flowers everywhere.

One of the days Mom and Dad were able to go and visit

a National Historic Site of Canada, "Butchart Gardens". Here are a few pictures I pulled from their website...

Dad surprised Mom with a ride on a float plane from Vancouver to Victoria Island. The ride took about 35 min.

I'm looking forward to sharing more pictures and details at a later date.

Thank-you...

... for your prayers. Mom and Dad made it safely home early this morning. :)

Please Pray...

... for Mom and Dad as they travel back home tonight. They will be getting in quite late. Please pray that they are not too tired and that everything goes smoothly.

A Bible Verse...

"He hath made everything beautiful in his time.

- Ecclesiastes 3:11

I made a new recipe today! Chickpea salad with red onion and tomato. Very tasty...

Tea or Coffee?

The winner is.... Tea and Coffee!

Thanks everyone for voting! More polls to come...

Auf Wiedersehen

We have been busy the last few days getting Mom and Dad ready to go on a trip this week to Calgary and Victoria. Dad has been away alot the past year so it's nice that Mom and Dad are able to spend some time together this week (after Dad's meetings are over in Calgary!)

Please pray that the flights go well and that they have a great time. Victoria should have nice spring weather this time of year...

Announcing The Birth of Lina Elizabeth...

... born March 29th 2011 at 10:14pm - weighing 7lbs 12oz.

We had Alexia all day Tuesday while Leah was having the baby. Mom was at their house for the morning with her. Mid afternoon Mom brought her back to our house for dinner and her bath. It was great to see Alexia as we have missed seeing her every day! Here is Alexia on my iPod, looking at pictures of herself...

She was in a wild mood

She was having lots of fun!

Daddy (Nathan), Alexia and baby Lina

So much love

Congratulations Leah and Nathan! We are so happy for you.

"Amazing Grace"

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now I'm found,

Was blind but now, I see.
