Weeping Time

Reflecting on the events of the past week, this song keeps playing in my mind. Rosanna, you truly found the greatest guy! and I agree - when two become one and one dies you're left with half. Wish I could take the pain away. I love you.

WEEPING TIME
Jon Buller

I’m so overwhelmed, I’m so tired
All around me my little world crumbles
Lord knows I can’t pick up all these pieces
Still I see them all there
And though I searched all around for help
I can’t seem to find it anywhere

And I will cry for it’s weeping time

Yesterday I closed my eyes and I prayed
Lord please don’t make me wake up again tomorrow
And the night was cold, yet my heart felt like fire
And my soul, it was sore from the praying
Praying for peace and quiet and more

And I will cry for it’s weeping time
And I will cry for it’s weeping time

Somehow still I believe You know my name
Somehow I understand You share my pain
They say that You have been there too
You cried, You cried

And I will cry for it’s weeping time
And I will cry for it’s weeping time


Myra's name means "a quiet song" and "light of God" - both which we have experienced from her these past days. Thank you Jesus for Myra and the comfort you pour out for us through her.

Welcome Baby Kent!

Welcome to our world Kent! I was so excited to cuddle with you yesterday :) You are perfect!



Congratulations Rod and Becky! We are so happy for you!

Kent and Myra :)

Thank you God for friends!

Well, we've come to the end of another busy week. :) I've been trying to maximize time by hanging out with as many friends as possible in addition to completing more packing and keeping up with the housework. I must admit that I much prefer seeing friends than doing chores :)

Last Thursday afternoon, Myra and I joined our friends Tammy and Brennagh for some girl time at Metrotown. It was wonderful to be away from the heat and in an air conditioned building and to replace packing duties for hanging out with a good friend. :) As an added bonus, I even found some tops for myself at Old Navy! We had to take a picture of the girls together since they are sooo cute! ...here they are enjoying a break from their carseats.




Early Friday morning the three of us made our way to Courtney to visit our good friends Mike and Darlene. I really enjoyed relaxing and savoring the sunny weather together. Tim and I found the game "Carcassonne" at a cute toy store on the main street and bought it. It's another German game invented by the same people who made "Settlers" and we love it.

Mike, Darlene and Tim took advantage of the heat on Saturday afternoon and headed down the river in inner tubes. The river is especially high these days and flowing faster than usual so it was a hoot!
Here are the guys posing after their wild river ride :)



Check out the white water!



Today we joined Mike and Janna for lunch at Gina's Mexican Cafe before heading to the ferry. It was great to reconnect and enjoy good food. :)



Now for some cutie petutie pictures...
Myra has started to hold her blanket over her face while falling asleep -- a habit I find adorable. :)





Anyways, time for bed - as this next week will prove to be jam packed as well. :)

Cheers :)

Thanks Grandma Froese for the VERY cute skirt. :)

Enjoying Nature

I can't believe we're already entering the first week of July! Time is just flying by!
This weekend was filled with activity. My dad had previously won 4 tickets for a guided fishing tour on the Fraser River, so on Saturday, all the "sons" joined him for the adventure. Myra and I joined my sisters and mom for some good shopping and a very enjoyable soup and salad lunch at the Olive Garden. The weather was so beautiful - sunny and warm.

Here is a picture of the sturgeon the guys reeled in. It took about 15 - 20 minutes for Nate and Dan to reel him in. This big fellow measured 5 feet 10 inches. Crazy to think that if the fish and I were laying side by side, it would be taller than me :)




Myra continues to fill our lives with joy. We think she is SO cute!!! Every morning, she greets me with a HUGE gummy smile - such a good way to start the day :) Here she is cuddling with dad before church on Sunday.




Hiking on July 1st has become a tradition for Tim. This year he joined Jon, Ang, and Christa on a very snowy hike of Mt. Cheam. The trail was completely covered so they climbed straight up which I imagine was a very tedious and hard process.



Celebrating at the top!



Coming down was much easier... only took about 20 minutes since instead of climbing, everyone either "tobogganed" down on their bottoms or ran down the mountain. Apparently it was a thrill. I'm glad I was in the comfort of my living room :)



Tonight Tim relaxed after a long day by cuddling with Myra and watching the Formula 1 French Grand Prix. As you can see, Myra was also intrigued by the race - much to Tim's delight!



Happy belated Canada Day!
Hope y'all have a great week :)

Cheers!
