Happy Thanksgiving!






Haven't posted for a week I think. Been very busy around here. First off we had the big Ignition event at the Save-on-Foods arena. Will Graham (yes, THAT family) was speaking and Salvador, Joy Williams & Tree 63 (loved them) were performing. 4,500 packed into the arena and with the hundreds that went forward at the end, 264 new committments were made. Awesome. Tiring but awesome.

Then this past weekend my homegirl rockstar Jeni, and her band Counting Heartbeats, had a concert at a club downtown and a whole bunch of her friends (mostly from church!) went down to see her. Good fun, some loud rock and roll and girlfriends (and guys, sorry lads.....) got to hang out and chill for the night. Supper at Cactus Club and got home at 2am.

Then, mass excitement at our house as my brother and sister-in-law and 2 beautiful nieces came to visit. This was only the 3rd time the four kids (ours and theirs) were all in the same room together. And, as Tania pointed out, it was the first time our girls (Brooklyn & Chloe) actually 'played' together. Before Chloe had been too young so to watch them pushing babies around the house was adorable. And to hear Chloe say "Hi Daddy" (to my brother - how whacked is that?) in her high, squeaky voice was too sweet for words.

Well, I'm going for a bike ride with the kids around the neighbourhood and then to the McCullochs for Thanksgiving dinner - thanks Marie!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I trust you found many things to thank God for, and people in your life who make life worth living.

I'm glad that Brooklyn looks so content with a baby on her lap - thought she might be forever "wounded" after the Christmas episode when little Liam hurt her feelings & found Zachary funnier than her! Oh well - at least we thought it was comical! :)
