My Little Singers

Pictures!!

Our friends the Mauno's recently gave us a camera so we are back in action here with pictures!! (Thankyou Mauno's!) The children grow so fast I can hardly believe it myself sometimes and I see them everyday!

Mommy and her little girl! Chloe has a hard time being serious in pictures!:)

Playing in our load of snow yesterday. This was them in their cabin with their snow blanket on to keep them warm

Nahum is cute even if he has the leftovers from breakfast on his face!

Chloe and John on a lazy saturday morning.

At our homeschool group on monday mornings we get together and play and learn. This past week we made decorations and wrapped gifts for the daddies who usually have to work when we meet. Here's daddy opening the gifts. The children were so excited to give them!

Here are some recent pictures of the children that a friend has posted on her blog.Just click on the highlighted word "pictures" and scroll down to find them. We still don't have the camera working so we haven't taken any pictures recently. I am 11 days away from my due date for baby number 4 and doing fine. Bags are packed, freezer is full, and friends have gotten me everything pretty much that I will need when the new one arrives. I'm so very thankful for these blessings which seem to relieve some worry.. (although why worry.. but hey i'm human:) I'm baking some christmas bread today.. 8 loaves! hoping that will last until christmas as it is dave's favourite and you could call him a little hooked on pastries! :) We hope to have christmas with the family on both sides this year and it may be that i'll be opening up our house but sitting down to a meal prepared by others.. My family is great and are all planning to pitch in to make stuff and lighten the load for this soon to be new momma.
The children are fine. Chloe is on the mend as we recently found she has allergies to makeup and she landed in the hospital for a night with her asthma acting up. She's out now and seeming to do better. I'm slowly learning what triggers these asthma attacts for her but it sure is discouraging at times to have to do this the trial and error method. I'm just thankful that it hasn't ever been life threatening. Dave has been out recently staking a mining claim close to town here. After a few attempts and a broken compass and nearly getting lost i got him a GPS and that seemed to help a tremendous amount in time and energy. So he recorded it at the mining claims office so now we have a place to scout out with the children and do our cookouts and dave said he even came across the remains of an old cabin we might be able to fix up a bit! So we are looking forward to some family adventures. Not till after the baby arrives mind you:) Sorry to have left this off for so long. Real life gets busy and without a camera it's hard to motivate and fill everyone in on the details of every day busyness. Hope all is well in your part of the world and we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I hope to have some pictures up on here after the baby is born so don't forget to check back.

Visit to Kap-kig-awan Provincial Park

We came for the long weekend down to Englehart to visit with Grandma. We had beautiful weather and a lot of fun!

Nahum's 2nd Birthday

Nahum turned 2 on June 28th. We ended up going up to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Timmins to share a birthday party with Wilfrid who turned 11 on June 30th. Wil had asked if he could have the cake say Happy Birthday Wil and Nahum. Nahum seemed quite happy with that. The children and I had left Barrie that morning and picked dave up in matheson at our house and arrived in Timmins just in time for the party:) Chloe thought we "needed" party hats. We also put together some goodie bags for all the children.. well my 3 and wil and Lily my niece and nephew. It was a really fun day. Sarah and Greg were there to help BBQ and make the day that much more special. It's so nice to just celebrate our little ones with the family. Simple but they feel important and loved:)




Nahum is a really sweet kid. He loves his mom right now.. maybe a little too much but I will enjoy it as he may not always be so in to me:) Him and John as a result of our move have now got bunkbeds. Daddy built them out of cedar wood. They are nice and Nahum is doing well. He did however peel the paint off the wall at the head of his bed to reveal the paneling behind.. eek!
Nahum got a few little gifts from Grandma as you can see from the picture below he thinks he's a coolio in his new sun glasses!







This is a picture of Greg and Auntie Sarah! Way to go on the BBQ eh!



The Birthday Gang.





Nahum my coolio:)

Moving

Wow I hadn't realized how long it had been since i posted anything on here! We are busy packing as we have a move date of July 27. We are glad to have a spot to call our own and there is some fix up stuff that needs to be done. I'll try and take some pictures and post them up shortly. Nahum is turning two June 28th! My nephew Wilfrid asked if he could have a double party with Nahum because his birthday is on June 30th(Wil will be 11 though:) So we are planning to have a cake and such like on sunday night with my parents. Chloe and John are signed up for a school readiness program through the ontario early years center here and will be attending that a few days a week for the next several weeks. It's 9-3 so it seems like a long day so we will see how they do. I am looking forward to some time with just nahum and to work on some areas that need work.. such as obedience!! eek.. haha. John is an expert on his little 2 wheel bike with training wheels.. so much so he surprises me! We recently got bathing suit for the older two with built in lifejackets right in the suit and they got to try them out the other day(this hot weather is lovely.. maybe a little less heat would be ok to though don't you think;) They loved swimming at the local swimmin hole and chased the minnows all around. Nahum has no fear of water it would seem so i'm IN the water right at their sides making sure everyone is good to go.. (i can't say i mind in this heat)The children and I have planned a trip to Peterborough thursday till sunday to visit some friends that I haven't seen in a long time. Amanda is over from Ireland with her family and a few other couples and their children will be around too! I am soooooo excited! This summer's camp season is starting soon at Northland Bible Camp. We hope to catch some of the meetings at the family camps. WE have no holidays this year planned so we are thinking to just maybe camp out at some local campgrounds and dave can join us there after work. Well trust all is well in your world. Sorry no pics this time:)
