Another milestone accomplished... Middle School

I can't believe our daughter is done Middle School... and is going off to high school in the fall.  Time flies far too quickly, and before you know it, she'll be driving, then off to university... and beyond.  These next few years will create a swell of memories for her to build her lifetime on.  We trust that we can be there for her in the years to come to help build the character that God desires in her. 

Here's Chelsea off to her grade 8 dinner... what a beauty.

Daddy dearest

It is fathers day, and there are many special dads in my life that deserve highest praise today and every day.  My heavenly father, my dad in Manitoba, my brothers who are dads to their cute kids, my father-in-law, so many men who have been father figures for me throughout the years, and then a super special dad in our home.

My girls (and little one on the way) are very lucky to have a dad that loves them beyond measure, who would do anything to care and protect them, who loves spending time with them... and the list goes on.

Daddy dearest, we love you and hope you have a special fathers day!

Faith of a teen

We have been amazed at the faith of our oldest daughter for years... her love of her Savior and her boldness in Christ.  This was especially aparent as she's been mentioning the talks her and a friend have been having with another class mate about Christ and their faith.  We were even more encouraged when she asked if she could give two of her friends Bibles.  Wow... what an encouragement.  How often do my own personal inhibitions keep me from being a testimony for Christ?  She is someone we are so very proud of... and we can learn a lot from.

Not only are we blessed by her zeal, but we did not want to put any hinderances in her way... so, Daddy took her to the local Christian book store and they picked out a couple of Bibles for her friends.

We trust God's blessing on our beautiful daughter... she is beautiful in so many ways!
