Construction is underway...the gingerbread gala.

Yes! Jesse and Shannon and Reuben and Sarah Jane have arrived!

The Othello Tunnels near Hope BC, are part of the old Kettle Valley Railway.

We visited Body Worlds, a beautiful display of the human body showing
muscles, skeleton, repiratory system, nervous system, respiratory
system, etc. Very well done.

Yes! Joel has arrived home from Chicago! The Home Coming continues.

Jonathan has arrived home for Christmas! Yes! The homecoming continues.

Yes!! Our Christmas tree is up, now that Heather is home! The "Messiah" is playing in the background, the Canucks are playing on the TV (on Mute of course...or muet as it says on our screen) and soon we'll have a hot chocolate. It's so good to have Heather home.

Papa is skyping with Tianna and Jabin. They share Hippo, Giraffe, Fish and Frog puppets and trucks and helmets and all kinds of stories about Hockey, goalies, skates and scores. Tianna shares her little giggles when Papa plays peekaboo! Every once in a while a little conversation with Sarah and Aron happens too. Simply Deeeeeelightfulllll.

Yes!! The Christmas Homecoming has begun. Heather arrived home today, driving Jonathan's car through wind, rain, sleet and snow. That adventure was definitely more fun than writing all of those exams. Time to relax.

The snow gradually sliding down the
roof...fanning out. A day later most of the snow came thundering down.

Our beautiful snowfall during the latter part of November.

Jacquie's visit to Fredericton to soak in some lovin' from Aron, Sarah, Jabin and Tianna. November 14 - 21. Top picture, we are out for dinner at the Snooty Fox. Bottom pic we are hangin' out in a little town on the Atlantic Ocean called St Andrews on the Sea.

Here we are with our grandchildren, Jabin and Tianna. We just can't get enough of these two delightful little people!!

Well, here is our precious family on Aug 19, 2006, celebrating Jesse and Shannon's wedding. This is where we'll start with our blog, rather than going back, trying to explain our history...where would we start? So from left to right here we are: Reuben and his wife, Sarah Jane, Joel, John and Jacquie (holding Jabin - Aron and Sarah's son). Jesse and Shannon the newly weds, Heather, Jonathan, Aron (holding his daughter Tianna) and Sarah, Aron's wife. Wow! Our God has blessed us very much.
