Kelowna 2016

At the end of July we spent a week in Kelowna. We had an amazing time visiting with Grandpa Clark, Grandma Jo-Ann, Uncle Matt, Auntie Jaynie, and Lydia. 

Highlights of our trip were: reading 1 Peter together, spending time with our sweet niece / cousin, introducing Silas to the Smith family, seeing Grandpa Clark and Grandma Jo-Ann spend time with all their grandkids in the same place, spending time lots of time in the pool, and eating lots of ice cream :)

Matt and Jaynie took so many amazing pictures. We had a hard time choosing which ones to put on the blog, so here are a lot of pictures...

A Visit from the Smith Family

A few weeks ago Matt, Jaynie and Lydia came and stayed at our house for a couple of nights before going up to Kelowna. Time spent with them is always a treat. It was so great to spend time with them and show them our new home. We also went for a walk by the creek in our new neighbourhood and visited Crescent Beach.

Happy Day - Ella's Baptism

So thankful for this moment yesterday. Ella has been asking to be baptized for over a year now and today was the day. Her faith has become more and more evident to Spencer and I and we no longer felt that she was too young to take this step. Also, so powerful to see her Dadda as one of the men who baptized her. Spencer has done an amazing job of discipling his little girl. This moment was a gift. God is good.

 We were also thankful to celebrate Ella's baptism over dinner with some dear friends.

Solid Food

Last week Silas started eating solid foods. And he has a mighty big appetite! He started on rice cereal and has now tried several mashed fruit and veggies. He likes his food :)
