Happy 10th Birthday Samuel!

Happy Birthday to our fun-loving brother and son (to two very special people). May God bless your next year and may you enjoy it to the fullest. We love you.

Samuel, our tree climber.

And also our farmer.

Brothers are the best of friends. (The hat Samuel is wearing was given to him by Edgar for his 8th birthday.)

His Ways Above Ours

                           God has shown us that His ways are exceedingly above ours.

We have been dreaming about moving to "our" acreage for over a year now, but since our house didn't sell, we haven't had the means to buy it. We heard that a family we know had bought an acreage south of Grassy Lake but since we were so sure that the acreage was for us, we comforted ourselves that there were more acreages south of Grassy Lake. Now yesterday, Uncle Rudolf and others confirmed that our acreage has sold! That really surprised us as we were so sure that we were moving there or else why would God keep it there for us until our house sold? It was such a perfect place and it seems like no other acreage compares to it. Now our dreams are crushed and it cost us some tears. But, in acceptance lieth peace, and this just shows that God is not limited to acreages or our plans and it also shows that God certainly does have a plan for our lives. 

   
   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than you thoughts. (Isa. 55: 8,9)

Camping Trip to Saskatchewan

Camping? In Saskatchewan? Yes, we did and it was fun. We went camping there because some of  Horizon's guys are doing a job there. They, and their families, are staying in camping trailers there during the week and invited us to come and camp there on weekend. We, Janice and Nacho, and Adolf and Annie, accepted the invitation. We had a wonderful time even though it rained every few minutes. I took a lot of pictures but since I took them with Janice and Nacho's camera, I don't have them yet. Jonathan has already posted some pictures so you can click on his name to view them.

Keep tuned for pictures.

P.S. Sorry so late with the pics.

More games.

Our three new tents: Blue, Mama and Daddy's;

On top of a hill, what a nice place to be.

Can anybody spot them way up there?

The tent was not supposed to blow away.

Sweet Serena

Miss Mckenzie

Everybody started running when the rain fly on Janice
and Nacho's tent started flying away. (Emergency indeed :))

Rolando held onto Uncle Rudolf's pants so that he wouldn't
fly away. : )

My handsome brother

I took this picture of the barn silhouette and sunset.

Leandro's antlers

Campfires are so cozy.

Leandro and the bike he learnt to ride with. (Notice
his puffy eyes caused by the weeds and grass.)

Breakfast preparation is under way!

Jaden and his best friend, Edgar.

"We're staying dry!"

I guess he only wanted to keep his shoulders dry. : )

Joshua and Daddy holding the tarp while the
"men" tied it up.

Yum! Breakfast disco

Best friends.

Samuel

I like these pictures of the barn yard.

Relaxing.
