Almost August!

The last day of July, and I still cannot believe it! 2008 has been such a fast year, and with everything happening, I can see why! The year of babies and weddings! Even for Charles and I, we were discussing only last night how quickly time has passed for us...we have been married just about 9 months already! And it has been an amazing time! I am so thankful God gave me this man as my husband and father to my children! God is sooo good!

On a sad note, my previous sister in law passed away just over a month ago from the immune deficient disease which caused the cancer that eventually took her life. She was just 50 and left an 18 year old son and an 8 year old daughter. We are keeping the family in our prayers. On a good note(yea for them!)my mother in law is just finishing up her radiation treatments for the breast cancer she was diagnosed with last year and everything looks good for her. She is flying into Calgary in September to visit with us, and will be hopefully attending church with us. She is so excited to meet her new grandaughters, and I am looking forward to meeting her as well. A little nervous as she does not speak much English!

My brother's fiancee flies in tomorrow and will be with us for 3 weeks. Mike & Aissa will be getting married November 29th in Montreal, where they will be living for the unforseeable future. It is going to be sad to see them go, but I think it will be good for them to start over in a new place, on their new life together. Unfortunately I cannot go to the wedding, but hopefully my parents will be going, and taking Emma and Logan as they are in the wedding.

This pregnancy has been so long...sigh...lol! Every pregnancy seems to last forever! Carrying twins has proven to be quite the challenge and I am just so glad we are almost done! We are trusting God to do what He knows is best for our babies; they are both breech right now, and my doctor is saying to schedule a c section for August 29th, but we are giving them time just in case...my next ultrasound is August 11th, when I will be 34 weeks, and that should tell the tale! I can't believe we are going to see our beautiful girls in about a month!!!

Summer fun with friends

Linda Reid brought her team over for a swimming party just this past week. The kids had a blast, and we love our new pool! Especially me...it beats the heat!

Dale, Amanda & Jude Gendron...Jude is 1 month! Already....

Trying to be a better blogger...

I pretty much was spending my efforts on my Facebook account, including pictures, but have closed that down in favor of blogging more. I will try my best to keep up better on it; once the babies are born, I'm sure my time will be spent with all of that, but I will do my best.

Congratulations Mark & Star King!!!

They have finally tied the knot, and what a wedding! I have to say it was the most amazing wedding I have ever been to! Different, unique and incredible! Star was an absolutely gorgeous bride! Congrats to both of you, love you!

Stampede Sunday 2008 with Timothy Spell

Well, I managed to get off bed rest for the last few weeks, and just take it slow, but as of yesterday, I am officially back on. Sigh...Going on 31 weeks now, and these babies have to stay in there for at least another 6 weeks, so we are taking it one minute at a time, literally! They are healthy and growing well, just running out of room and wanting out! Not yet!!! A quick trip to the hospital yesterday assured me they are not coming yet, but twin a is pushing hard and needs some encouragement to stay put! We`are also praying that both babies are head down so I can do this all the natural way and forego the c section the doctors keep saying is almost inevitable. Please pray for this to happen!!!

My beautiful sister in law to be...Aissa

November 29th, this beautiful girl will be marrying my brother and joining our family. She is so sweet, and loves God and my brother so much! We love you Aissa!

20 years later...lol! Emma and Logan's Graduation 2008!!!

Emma has now entered grade 4 and Logan grade 1! Wow, time flies...
