All the days...

As some of you may have noticed last week I changed the look of our blog. As I was doing that a verse kept coming to mind. It's the one the I posted under our title. It's a memory verse that Aidan had for school. What a great reminder that God holds all of our days in His capable hands. He knows what will come to pass before it does and he has ordained those things for us. Of course that doesn't mean they will always be easy but we can rest assured knowing that He knows what all our days hold and wants to walk with us through them. May this be a comfort and encouragment to all of us no matter what we're facing.

A beautiful day

I wanted to give you an updated picture of our growing baby. Believe it or not, I am getting bigger. I don't think the picture does justice. We'll try again soon!:)
Aren't they cute?

They love the baby so much and always give him, (my belly), hugs and kisses. Aidan sometimes even does when he leaves for school.

It was a beautiful fall day. We went to the park and had a great time, although I didn't take any pictures.

Tonight we were teaching the kids a game using dice. They had fun but were being really silly. I never knew little boys could be so silly!

Elianna had a unique way of shaking the dice. Aidan summed it up well when he said, "Eli, it's like you're doing (dribbling) basketball. After dribbling she would just throw them. Good times!

The many faces of our kids

Last week we were house sitting for some friends and they had a lot of dress up clothes. The kids had a blast. Here are some of their outfits. Elianna the owl
Aidan the dalmation.

The fuzzy sheep.

A couple weeks ago we were at a local park. I thought these water lilies were beautiful.

God has created such beauty for us to enjoy.

First Day of School

Aidan had a great week of school. He loves it. We are soo thankful and hope that the rest of his year continues to go well. Here he is walking into school with his class.

What a big boy. We took him out for breakfast to McDonalds before school.

Elianna is really going to miss having Aidan around. They are great friends and play really well together.

We went to a nearby conservation area and took a nice walk.

There were all sorts of fire trucks from all sorts of places.

It was loud!:)

The Toronto Zoo

We had a great time visiting the Toronto Zoo. It was a long and very tiring day but worthwhile. The morning was cool but the afternoon was nice but not too hot. We did a lot of walking! Eli loved the flamingos.
The sea turtles were fun to watch.

Aidan loved seeing the different types of frogs.

The blue poison arrow frog if I remember correctly.

This and That

I know it's been a while since I've posted. These are pictures from our time in PA. They are in descending chronological order. So, this is me beginning my 22nd week of pregnancy. If you haven't heard the ultrasound says that we're having a boy. A family shot, with a bit of pete's head chopped off!:)

It might be a bit hard to see but these are some luscious blackberries we found on a walk near my dads cabin.
