greetings from Ontario!

Between the last time we posted till now we have done 9 widows banquets in Manitoba, packed a house hold of belongings, moved many miles away, did another widows banquet in Ontario, had Christmas get-togethers, got to know new friends in a new community, practiced for the new recording, and all dealt with the flu! since most people enjoy seeing instead of just hearing I'll post some pictures for you all to see.

 

:: on our way! ::

 

:: raking some leaves in the front yard ::

:: Christmas time with family ::

 

 

:: a candle light chinese christmas dinner... (every year instead of a traditional mashed potatoes, stuffing, and turkey meal, we like trying different cultural meals- usualy Mexican ) ::

 

 

:: after the meal, the amazing men in our lives did the dishes :) while us girls played our violins together again which was something we hadn't done in a while! ::

 

 

:: Lonita was really excited about her new baking kit ::

:: and another Christmas meal! ::

 

thank you all so much for your prayers and support as we went through so many changes in the last couple months. it has been a huge blessing! (and hopefully we'll keep you a little more updated in the future!) some things that we would really appreciate prayer for is:

1. health (we have all had the flu and cold in the past month which makes it a little difficult to practice for the new recording! )

2. God's annointing on the new recording

3. wisdom as we schedule for the year

4. safety as we travel
