Time for an Update

So wow, so much has been going on with David and Stephanie out here with us. Check out their blog for some pictures and stories of our outings. I'll add some pictures as well.

I would also like to take this time to Congratulate Stevin and Katrina on the birth of their new daughter, Rachel Jean. Welcome Rachel, you are so loved already!! Congratulations to big sisters Naomi and Petra too!!!
A trip to the Citadel





A little post on Maria's first camping trip! She was super good. Last week we headed to the Minas Basin and camped in Blomidon Provincial Park. The views were amazing, but it was a rainy couple of days...Thanks David and Stephanie for making Maria's first camping trip extra special!!
Getting ready to go camping

On the way we stopped at Grand Pre, a vineyard started by the Acadians way back(??)






We arrive:

Our very well packed car, it was tricky with 4 adults, a baby and all our stuff


Preparing for the rain

Our chef and firemaker


Trying to bug proof Maria


Enjoying the smokey fire with daddy


Our firemaker had his a tough job, working with too fresh wood and rain
The next morning it was raining, it was foggy and it was smokey....
Keeping Maria happy and dry as we pack up
this is the view at the beach, it was low tide

This weekend Martin, Maria and I plan to go camping with some families from the church at Dollar Lake. Hopefully the sun comes out for that!!
Take care all, will try to keep you posted on our very busy lives.
