Happy Thanksgiving!

I know Thanksgiving was yesterday, but I wanted to wait until today to post so I could put up some pictures.

 

Enjoying the leftover apple slices from the apple pie I made

 

We were so thankful to have Shane's parents and the Forneys with us for Thanksgiving

Sleepy after eating so much

-22 degrees F!!!!!!

All I can say is that it is cold out there!!!! I have been staying inside trying to stay warm other than when I have to walk TBone. Thankfully Shane walks him early in the morning so I don't have to! Not much else is going on around here. Just getting excited for and thinking about Will's first birthday. We think we might do a truck theme since his favorite toy is his Hess truck. 

Anyway, here are a couple pictures for you. Have a great week!!

 

November is here!

November greets us with a cold air! It is 0 degrees here in Inuvik this morning! I haven't been out yet but Shane said it felt COLD!! Hard to believe this is only the beginning. By January it will be -40!

This week has been good so far. Sunday I wasn't feeling well enough for church but my friend Holly took the Sunday School class to her house (next door) and had Sunday School there so that I could sleep. (Sunday School is normally held in my living room). Then my friend Crystal took William to nursery for me so I was able to rest during that time.

Then Monday morning I woke up feeling half decent! I was not 100% but WAY better than I had been in a week or so. So I got some laundry done and started working on all the things that needed prepared for the church Harvest Party which was last night. So the morning went by pretty fast. I was even able to clean the living room and kitchen! Shane's sister visited me for the afternoon. She brought her 3 month old son and 2 of her daughters. William loved playing with his cousins. He had such a good time!

Then last night we had the church harvest party. They really do it up! We had lots of games and lots of food and lots of candy! Not as many kids came as we had thought would come, but there were a lot of adults. Everyone had a great time! I will post a few pictures of last night. Have a great week!

Sorry I am late!

I know, I am two days late posting. I am sorry. It has been a rough past few days with morning sickness. This morning, though, I woke up feeling half decent! I have already done one load of wash and the second just finished in the dryer! Also I dusted the living room, cleaned the bathroom, did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen! It feels soooooooooo good to finally be able to do some work. Now I am a little tired but I really want to finish the laundry before I lay down. I just put the boys (William and his friend Kai) down for their second nap. Their morning nap only lasted a half hour so hopefully the afternoon nap will last much longer. They went down pretty easily so that is a good sign! 

On Monday Mr and Mrs Forney had us and our friends Steven and Holly over for supper. Mrs Forney made a caribou roast with potatoes and carrots. It was sooo good. Will especially enjoyed it. He at a lot more than he normally eats. Then Steven and Holly have a little girl same age as William so the two of them had a good time crawling around and getting into everything after supper. It was a really nice evening. 

Well, I better go get that laundry done. Have a good rest of the week! Here are a few photos for you!

Will the big brother!

Well, the news is out now! William will be a big brother next May. We are all very excited about it. I am only 8 weeks along so a lot could happen so we do ask for your prayers.

There isn't too much new going on around here from last week. I am babysitting a boy named Kai who is just 1 month older than William. They are having so much fun playing together everyday.

I do want to ask you to pray for a woman named Jennifer. She is not really a friend of mine, but I have met her a couple times at the healthy babies group I go to. Sunday morning her house caught on fire. I don't know all the details about that but I know alcohol was involved. Her 9 year old son's arms are burnt up and down and he is in the hospital and her 3 year old daughter was killed. It is a very sad situation. As far as I know Jennifer is not saved but maybe the Lord will use this to bring her to Him. Please pray for her and her family.

Have a nice week.

Another Beautiful Morning!

I am sorry I did not update yesterday. We were pretty busy. Yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving. Shane, William and I went to Shane's parents' house for a yummy supper. There were a lot of people there. Including the babies there were 19 people. All of Shane's parents' grandkids were there so we got a couple good pictures of them all together.

Yesterday was the beginning of our white winter. We have had snow off and on for the past few weeks but yesterday it snowed all day. It is here for good now. I love it. It is a little hard to push the stroller in the snow but that's ok. I am so thankful that the dog doesn't come back muddy from the walks anymore! It is 30 degrees (F) this morning. It feels so nice! Much warmer than the past few days. Anyway, here are a couple pictures from Will's first Thanksgiving!

Good Morning!

Well, I can't believe it...October is already here! I think I will go through the heavier coats today and pull a couple out...it's about time to put away the fall coat. This morning the dew was more like ice...very slippery. But it was such a nice morning for a walk! It is getting bright enough for a walk at about 8:30 am so that is usually when we go. Slowly the sun is taking longer and longer to come up.

Well, here are a couple photos from the past few days. Have a great week!
