Summer Happenings

Can't believe that August is nearly half over!!! I don't know where the time goes. Honestly.

It has been a busy summer. I had a lovely visit with Evan and Marcelle. It was so good to see them and to spend some time with them.
Here Mocha visits with her 'Uncle Evan' who she just loves and can't stay away from whenever he's around.

While Evan and Marcelle were here we had a family barbeque. It was great to see everyone and to partake of all the goodies of a pot luck.

Little Gracen is enjoying a delicious pumpkin square. She's making sure that every crumb gets into her mouth.

Aaron is also enjoying a pumpkin square and making a statement. I forget what he said this was. Rock and roll maybe??

Becky and Jocelyn entertained us with a few songs. Their voices sound so good together.

This is Greg after spending an afternoon at Magic Mountain. Mummy applied sunscreen but I guess with him going in the water a lot, it washed away the stuff under his eyes, so he got a bad sunburn there. This was the day after the outing, so the redness had lessened somewhat. A day or two later it was all gone.

We went to Amherst on August 2nd, to attend the service at the Amherst Wesleyan Church, which Becky and Matt attend. It was a lovely service, though it was hot in the church. Then went back to Beck's for lunch, while the kids went into the pool. Then it was off to the Shinimicas River where Becky, Matt, Gracen and 3 other people were baptized. It was nice and hot there too, but the baptisms were very nice. The river had quite a current in it but it didn't sweep anyone away. Pictures are on Joce's facebook. Then it was back to Beck's where there was more swimming and eating.

This past Saturday, Becky, Michelle, Joce and I attended the craft fair in Victoria Park. It was a lovely day, and there was lots of stuff to see. We all bought something so we had a good trip. Then it was back to Fishers for lunch.

On Sunday, August 9th, Aaron left for Camp Wildwood for the week. He was looking forward to it, and they have lots of activities, swimming, kayaking, games, etc. He'll be back on Friday afternoon. Greg is enjoying his time without his brother. He gets to play what he wants on the computer and Wii, and to watch what he wants on tv. But he'll be glad when Aaron's back.

That's all for now.....
