Fantastic Weekend

James, Faith and I had a FANTASTIC weekend! We went to Canada to visit with his brother Don and his wife Jodi and their 2 girls-Anna and Eve. Marilyn (James's mom) came with us also. We left Saturday morning and got there around 4pm. Jodi made a yummy dinner (roast w/potatoes, salad, and corn) and then we all went to the park to let the kids play. They all enjoyed that. It was a bit chilly though. Then we headed back to the house and got the kids ready for bed and then the adults had root beer floats! Yum yum to our tums tums! Jodi made fantastic meals for us the entire weekend. She went above and beyond! (thanks again Jodi!!) Sunday we were able to see the two churches that Don is active in. That was great. We really enjoyed meeting the congregations at both churches. Everyone was so friendly to us. Monday morning James, Faith, Don, Eve and I went to the mall to let the girls play on the play area while Marilyn, Jodi and Anna went to a play group for Anna. We all had a great time. We returned to the house, then ate lunch and off we went. The weekend went by too quickly but we are so glad that we were able to make the trip out there. Also, Don and Jodi were very gracious and gave us their truck as they are needing a bigger vehicle with baby #3 on the way and we had inquired about it awhile back. So James drove the truck home. So we are once again a two vehicle family. I enjoyed going out this afternoon with friends and not have to wake up early to take James to work and also worry about being back in time to pick him up. This is such a great blessing to our family.
I have a lot of pictures but am trying to figure out how to post them as a slideshow...so as soon as I figure that out, they will be posted!!!!
