It has truly passed by in a flash! Here we are enjoying our usual vacation time in September/October and I don't remember much of summer - I guess that can be expected when it was spent in so many hospitals. So here is a quick picture summary of our activities of late:
First day of rice cereal
A birthday party IN Algonquin Park. The family throwing the party works in the provincial park for the summer (dad is a bush pilot) and most of the festivities were held in the plane hanger - cool! The kids had face painting done.
Hoss is known as of late as 'the pickle', so that strange thing on his forhead is...a pickle!
Even after the party was over, we camped at the homestead of the host family for a couple of nights. Well...OK, we stayed in a trailer with full kitchen and indoor plumbing. Not really ruffin' it for first time camper Hoss.
We took a semi-school trip to Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons, in Midland, Ontario. Long drive, but neat day. Here is my husband with a fox hat.
Taking Hoss means having to find places to breastfeed. We're hiding in one of the display houses here - and take a few people by surprise when they realize what I'm doing!
Here's the real camping trip. We spent three nights in a tent, but had good weather and a good portable heater!
Don't let the smiles fool you...these two puberty queens can be really scary!

Two young people from our church who actually did it God's way! They met in the fall of 2009 and followed through on their convictions in courtship/purity. A real blessing to finally see it done right!
Two beautiful children standing in the receiving line. OK, I'm biased.

Whew! Even with all that time in hospitals, you still managed to pack in a lot this summer! And I'm especially encouraged to hear about that couple from your fellowship who just got married after a successful courtship. It's always great to hear that someone has actually done it!
