Family Journal

We have decided to join the masses and start a family blog.
It has been so fun to keep up with other family member blogs and
find out how everyone has doing.

So here we go...

The Countdown begins

We are starting the count down till Maddy comes home, it is officially
32 days till she comes home from Waterton. We have missed her so
much, but realize that this is a great experience for her.

Other stuff

Last night we had YW/YM at the church and all the ways into the building
and parking lot were blocked off because of road construction. This made our
usual Wednesday night drive a little more exciting than usual. The kids were
not impressed with me, as I wouldn't drive over the grass like some of the other
Leaders did.

All of the girls are working lots and lots, which is great for them with school
coming up and new clothes to buy. It also keeps them out of trouble. The big
excitement at our house right now is who is going to win "So you think you can
Dance" tonight. Some people in our house have very strong opinions and we
have had some rather heated discussions!! Who would have thought that a
TV show could raise such a stir amongst our family.

This weekend we have to come up with another adventure, as this is our
theme for the summer. Each week we try to have a new one. So far this summer
we have had
YW Camp-adventure in rain!!!
Waterton- fun and camping and hiking and food and beautiful weather.
YM Camp-where Reid climbed Mount Robson and almost had a big fall.
Heritiage Days-hot weather, lots of culture and lots of different food.

Lots of bike rides, walks and games. Scrabble is causing all kinds of
excitement with everyone learning new 2 or 3 letter words using Q and
X!!!! So far Mike is the overall champ...but maybe that's just because he
keeps score????

Life is good!!!!
