Olympic Torch comes to Elkford!

What an awesome experience it was to be apart of it! We got up at 5am and went to see the torch for 6am. Then we had a pancake breakfast and to our surprise the runners all brought up the torch for us to all get pictures with and hold it! Thanks so much to the runners for letting us be apart of this special day!

My heart breaks

Tonight I sit here and think of all those children in Haiti who maybe be orphans now. It breaks my heart, I have always wanted to do adoption from another country but the money it costs is crazy. So I have been thinking depending on time it takes maybe in a couple of years we will adopt from another country and we could fund raise.

I think about the kids in Canada too, the ones who maybe have special needs and no one wants them but guess what I do!! I want to give them a home.

Last week we lost Evan's Oma and I remember seeing this phrase on his aunts fb and it really made me to clue in, it is true.

Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

Tomorrow!!

Wooohhhoooooo our social worker comes back to work tomorrow wooooohhhhoooooo I am so excited and cant wait!!! I have been looking forward to this day forever!! I am not going to bug her until like Wednesday or Thursday I hope she calls me before then!!

So I am excited! and hope to get some stuff going!!

New babies!!

Well my friend in Ontario who has been huge encouragement to me throughout trying for a baby had twin boys today!! I am so excited for her and her husband!! They waited 5 years for this!! I know Evan and I are coming up to that mark soon and know that we will one day have our kids!!

Thanks Mari-Anne for your love and support

We will miss you

One thing that makes us sad is that two wonderful ladies will never get to meet our children.

My Grandmother passed away a month ago on December 8th she was 84 years old



Today we lost another wonderful lady, Evan's Oma She would have been 78 in February.


We will miss these two ladies very much!!

A friend has made this for me, as we all have hopes we will have our family in 2010

Hope

So I remember doing a sunday school topic in December and I remember being frustrated because I had 9 kids and they are all under 5 and we had to work on the songs for our talent show and also I did a lesson.

The Lesson was on Star bright, I picked it as I knew they would know what stars are. Well there was a vs in it, and I have always said I wish for kids, but this vs confirmed for me I need to do more then wishing I need to HOPE, I have hope that I am going to get children this year! I am not going to wish anymore I am just going to hope each day and hour, that I will be blessed from our holy father with wonderful children.

There is a big difference in wishing and hoping, isn't there? In wishing, you have no reason to expect it to come true, and in hoping, you have every reason to expect it to come true.


I think my social worker is on holidays right now still, as I have not got any emails back from her. I am off to call and see when she comes back
