Our trip

First I want to give a prayer request. Tomorrow hubby goes for a sort-of job interview. He's been on his own for almost a year now and things are really slowing down. A little too much!!! A co-worker he used to work with was talking to a company which is looking for someone with alot of hubby's skills. Hubby will go meet with them tomorrow and talk about the position. Although he enjoys working from home, we live month to month wondering if the bills will be paid....which is a little stressful :) God has been so good to us and has met our every need....and if He is opening up an opportunity for full time work, that would be great!
So onto our trip!!! It was a very enjoyable and relaxing time. The kids enjoyed their time with grandparents, great-grandparents, aunt/uncle and cousins, great aunt and friends. Our first big outing was to an Iroquoian Indian village called Ska-na-doht. We have been studying explorers and Native Americans in History, so it was nice to be able to actually see how some Indians lived rather than just through pictures! We finished off the day taking the kids to the place where Mommy and Daddy had their first date and where we got engaged (on the same bench in Springbank Park).
Here are some pictures of Ska-na-doht.....more about our trip later :)

  2. We will certainly pray for Ben's interview tomorrow. May God give Ben strength, confidence in his computer knowledge and good graces with the interviewing, if it is God's will. We are so glad you all are safe and at home, that was a long drive. I cannot wait to see all the pictures. I am learning while your children are learning. I have never been farther north than Maryland. :) It is neat seeing parts of Cananda !

  3. Thanks for sharing the pictures! It brought back memories of when we went with your mom and dad to visit the Indian Village back in 2003. So glad you all had such a great time with your visit and that you had a safe trip home. We praise the Lord for that. We were praying for hubby's interview today and trust the Lord will work things out for you all.
