A Day to Celebrate

April 18, 2009, my Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Peter celebrated 50 years of marriage! Throughout the evening it became very evident that they are an exceptional couple that not only has played a special role in our lives, but in the lives of many others as well. Their strong devotion to God is manifested in their giving of themselves, and their dedication to their family, near and far. We love them dearly.

Unfortunately, no picture of them, but here's one of Mark and I all dressed up for the occasion (I cropped off the children who weren't impressed that we interrupted their play time with a photo opp...)Prior to the party we took advantage of the sun and +24C weather and went for a walk along the Niagara gorge. The kids had a fantastic time climbing all the rocks! (The Habs fan is my cousin's son)


We only had time for a drive by the falls, but we drove REALLY slow, and turned around and went back for a 2nd look. Brent was quite impressed that we were actually seeing THE Niagara Falls, and informed us that 1000 bathtubs full of water go over the falls every second.

Spring Has Sprung

This one is for you Sharon!
While my cousins in Alberta have recently posted AMAZING photos of their mountains, they have also been lamenting that there is still snow on the ground. So, here's another shot of our property, looking towards my western family. Trees are budding, the grass is green. I'm sure it will come West soon!


And here's a shot of the ducks that have returned to our pond again this spring...how do I know if they're the same ones that came the last couple of years?
