Plans in the making!

Shane and I are finally able to start planning our summer vacation! We are pretty excited about it. On August 1 we will start the 3-4 day drive to Calgary, Alberta. There we will get Will's citizenship (really the whole point of the trip) and then spend a couple days touring the city. We plan to visit the Calgary Zoo which we are very excited about. Since William likes to stop and talk to EVERY dog or bird we see when we go on walks here I know he will LOVE seeing all the different animals at the zoo. He definitely got his love for animals from my side of the family :-)

After we spend 3 days or so in Calgary we will drive to Edmonton, Alberta. That should only be a 3-4 hour drive. We will spend a couple days there at the West Edmonton Mall. They have a mini theme park, an ice rink, and a water park so we know William will enjoy visiting there.Then we will begin the 3-4 day drive back home.

That's about all that we have planned so far. It will be a lot of driving but we plan to stop and let William see anything that looks interesting. We will just take our time and enjoy being together. It should be fun. Please do be praying about that trip as Shane will most likely be doing all the driving and he has never really driven that far or in the city before. Also please pray that William's paperwork for the US citizenship goes smoothly.

Tonight is a ladies' meeting. I have been studying Romans 1 for the past couple weeks and I am really excited to share with the ladies what I have learned. It is not the easiest chapter to understand so I really need God's help to teach it.

I am 33 weeks and 2 days pregnant now. Only 6 weeks and 5 days left! That's only 47 days!!!!!! I am pretty much prepared for the baby now. I still have a couple things left on my spring cleaning list but other than that I am ready. We bought a second hand bassinet for only $10! It is in like new condition so I am very excited about it. Baby will be in our room for at least the first few months so having a bassinet is so much nicer than a play pen. The bassinet takes up less space. This week we finally decided who we wanted to ask to watch William while I am in the hospital. We asked Shane's sister and she said that would be fine. So that is nice to have that taken care of. I have baby's clothes washed and folded and the blanket I made for him/her is sitting in the bassinet. Now all we need is baby!

Well, have a great weekend everyone!!

Easter Pictures

Here are some photos from Easter. Not much to update on, so I will just leave the photos for you!

Time for an update!

Well, this past weekend was our missions conference. We had Pastor Snow from Ohio as our main speaker and we had missionaries Todd and Jodi Holland also. They are on deputation right now and planning on serving the Lord in the Sahtu Region here in the North. As far as I know they will, Lord willing, be back up here by next January to stay (In the Sahtu region, that is). Right now there is no preacher there. There are several communities within the Sahtu Region. The Forneys were there but needed to come to Inuvik so Mr Forney could train Shane. Having the Hollands there will be a great answer to prayer. So please continue to pray for them as they travel across the States on deputation. 

My Bible Lesson at the Healthy Babies got cancelled :-( But the Lord knows and has it all planned out according to His perfect will. I know I will get in there eventually to teach them about the Bible but I am not sure when. Please pray that it will be before I have the baby. I am praying that it will be either at the end of this month or the beginning of May. 

I will be 31 weeks along in my pregnancy tomorrow. Things are going very well so far. Thankyou for all your prayers. It is a little more tiring being pregnant this time since I have a toddler to take care of. But he is a great little helper and I know that he will do great once baby is here. He picks things up for me when I drop them so I don't have to bend over (haha). He hands me the soaps and such to put back in the shower after I clean it and he feeds the dog (all I do is open the lid for him, he can do the rest himself). I am so thankful for such a great buddy! Speaking of William, I need to go get him up from his nap. Here are a couple photos from the Muskrat Jamboree yesterday. It was really really windy and very cold. We only lasted 10-15 minutes out on the ice at a time before we needed to go warm up in the truck again!
