In March we posted about a story Chesley entered in a writing contest, “Lightning Man’s Protective Armor“.
Well… he won 2nd place!
Chesley picked up his prize last week; a green bag filled with a book, magazine, video, and notebook. He was also mentioned in the local paper. We are all so proud of him!
Congratulations Chesley!
To celebrate Karl’s 30th birthday we spent the day in Sauble Beach, Ontario. It was a hot and humid day, making for the perfect weather for our trip. We spent our time wading in the water, digging in the sand, walking through the shops, and enjoying some local food.
Happy 30th Birthday Karl!
This week, while Karl has been away for meetings, the boys and I have been spending quality time together.
We played with legos for over two hours last night and stayed up WAY too late! But, it was fun. Chesley, Kaden, and I have been going out and playing together in the snow too. What a joy it is to love them by taking time to do something they enjoy.
You know, I think I should do it more often.
After a long day on Friday packing up our remaining stuff into boxes, loading two trucks and trailers, cleaning our apartment, and then finally handing in our keys we were ready to go. On Saturday we made the drive to Durham, Ontario with the help of Mom and Dad Haynes. We have unloaded all of our stuff and are now settling into our new home.
Thank you so much for all your prayers as we made this move!
This last Sunday we visited Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Reading, PA. It was great to re-connect with people I haven’t seen in 14 years! What a surprise to see Heather who was a very close friend of mine when we were about 10 years old. It’s hard to believe so much time has gone by.
Just got back from a trip to Wisconsin. During the trip we had some great family time. We visited a state park, walked along Lake Michigan, ate frozen custard, and enjoyed the view of the farming countryside.
