Alex and Carsten's school soccer tournament weekend arrived...Savannah, Kim and I were up and at it early so we go watch them play...Mark joined us later Friday afternoon, catching their last game. Friday was a beautiful day for soccer with warm and cool patches, depending on the wind and when the sun hid behind the clouds. Saturday morning was cold but we all enjoyed their last game before heading home. Sometimes I wish they had a few more games to play because...I love soccer!
Sunday was a special day as we were able to witness my oldest niece, Amy, profess her faith in Jesus Christ. What a memorable day as she officially becomes a member of Living Hope. I didn't take any pictures at church but did of Savannah and Stella on our way there and one of Alex getting ready to play his cello for Grandpa and Grandma.
When we were visiting with family...some pictures were passed around that had been recently found and I am in LOVE with this picture. This is a picture taken around 1951-1952 of my dad and his family prior to their immigration to Canada. It is neat to see how many family resemblances are in the extended families now...by the way my dad is the cute on with all the curls :)
We celebrated Mom's birthday this week too...we are thankful for the many years that God has blessed her with on this earth and ask His continued blessing and grace in her life.
As we started searching for a new suitable home for Stella, we enjoyed her company as much as we could. Stella is a great little puppy and she would easily fit in to almost any home...she loves people!
I shared an article on Facebook this week that hits bang on about bullying and figure if someone comes across my blog, it's an important issue to be dealing with anyways...please check the article, out right here http://faithit.com/worst-nightmare-raising-the-bully-leslie-blanchard/#.VzmvyakqXZZ.facebook
"It’s simply not enough to instruct your children to “Be Nice!” You’ve got to be more specific than that. Kids think if they aren’t being outright unkind, they are being nice. We know better. Connect the ugly dots...I promise you, they can handle it. They already see it on some level anyway. They just need YOU to give it a voice and re-direction."
