Summer is here

We got away on a holiday and as a result ended up loading pictures onto my computer, which rarely happens, so whenever I blog I nenver have access to pictures, so for a change here we go! :)


At Devonian gardens in their butterfly garden area. I love hanging out there it is truly magical!



Hanging at Jasper...


Milk mustache.




At our Church Camp.



Dressed up and then at a park in Grande Prairie.

another cool poem I found for the adopting mom's heart...

Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.

April 26 done

CCAA has done up to April 26. An optimistic time for our referral would be October, with November or December being more likely. There is building excitement starting. hard to believe this is almost within reach!!!

On the Katie front, she is learning new words weekly. some of those words are "no Touch" "dirty" "hat","dog"...Happy is her newest word. She put her first sentence together...after countless "games"(to her, not me) of me having to catch her to wipe her nose, she said "No touch, daddy" a couple days ago when she saw me with the menacing kleenex approaching her LOL!

We are still waiting on citizenship paper to get process for both our girls...snailsville...gessh...

We have been enjoying watching the TV show Chuck and past seasons of that...we haven't gone to see a movie in waaay too long a time, and are excited about some upcoming holidays with family.

work wise I am trying to get some teaching prep done for the 2 weeks of elementary camp I am speaking at, working on a youth summer missions trip to the mustard Seed in Edmonton, trying to get folks lined up in positions to serve in the church for this fall.

I have a few VERY cool tricks I am developing and anxious to work into my magic shows and am (mostly) enjoying cycling to work, whenever I can.(So much wind in GP is what makes it a pain...)
