Farewells and Good Times

This fall our church said good bye to our pastor and his wife after they have been with us for nearly 8 years.  They set out east to pastor a church on the east coast.  We wish them all the best in their new adventures!

Winter Fun

We are very much still into winter here!!!  Last weekend Curt and Julie came out with the kids and stayed with us.  Jonathan and Jaren enjoyed a fair bit of time the one afternoon riding around on the ski-doo.

Christmas with the Letniaks

On December 23rd we celebrated Christmas with Kevin's brother and family as they were going to be away over the holidays.  The day before we had a terrible snow storm so this was my drive to Ron and Connie's place for dinner.  So glad Kevin went a few hours ahead of me so I could see slightly where his tracks were on the road.  No ditches, they were completely filled with snow.  Best bet was to aim for the middle of the fence line!!

Randi and Kendall's Visit

Upon returning from our trip to the Dominican, Randi and Kendall came to spend a week with us.  It is also so much fun to have a little girl in the house with 2 boys!!

These two were inseparable!

Even though it was FREEZING we had to get outside!

So after the wedding Kevin's cousin Julie and her family came out to spend the week with us at the farm.  It was a great week and they were so much help, especially since I hadn't been home in 11 days prior to their arriving!  The kids had so much fun getting to know their cousins as well.  We all enjoyed an evening in Oyen at the Bullarama, which they had never seen before.  Gotta send them home with some good Alberta memories!  Thanks for the visit guys!

Cousins

Because of a family wedding that was happening on the weekend of July 21st we had some of Kevin's family come up from Michigan to attend and spend some time with us.  They have kids right around the age of ours so it was a great opportunity for our kid and Curt and Julie's kids to spend time and get to know their cousins.  So on one of the days we all went to visit Great Grandma Letniak who is in a home in Lacombe.

One of Landen's many faces!!!  :)
