Family Pictures

We got Megan to take these pictures for us back in October. They were going to be for Christmas cards so I didn't blog them, but now I'm not sure if we will be using them or taking new ones. :) So anyway, I thought I would share them with you.

Making More Room

Ever since I became a part of the Pauls family we have been playing hockey a nice skating rink. But with the boys all getting bigger and faster we were starting to run out of room. :)

So this year we have been working on a new rink, one that's much bigger than the old one. Now we will have plenty of room!

Today Josh and Dad are flooding it for the first time, and they are realizing how big it actually is! :) But they are doing a great job and in not to long from now we should all be out there enjoying it! Just in case you didn't know, hockey is one of the best things about Winter. :)

And here are 2 pictures of the beauty of Winter, this morning we had a lot of frost on the trees, it looks amazing!!

It's Here!!

Winter as come to Manitoba! All the snow, the beauty and of course the cold. :)

Happy Birthday Baby

One year, WOW!! I can't believe it, after the first 3 months this past year has more than flown by!! And it's been a wonderful year, even the first 3 months, we have seen God at work so many times!

Andrew Joshua, we love you!! You are such a bundle of joy, you fill our lives with smiles. We have seen God answer so many prayers, all because of you. :) Our prayer is that in the coming year we will be filled with wisdom to train you in the way that you should go.

Last Saturday we had a big party at my families place. Josh's family came too and we had a great time celebrating!

Andrew enjoying being the apple of his Auntie's eyes. :)

Playing patty cake... speaking of which...

Auntie Rita did a great job on the cake!!

Almost all the Uncles and Aunties.

You want me to touch that?!?

OK, I think this might be fun!!

Eww... it's sticky.

But it sure tastes great!

Thanks to my great family for having us all over and making delicous food for all of us!!

Vacation Time!!!

Well as I'm sure you have noticed my blog has been very quiet lately. But it has been for a good reason, we have been on vacation, just relaxing and doing nothing. :)

Some great friends of ours from church asked us to join them for a week in Breezy Point MN. and we had a wonderful time!! Thanks Landon and Heather!!

And then we also celebrated Andrew's first birthday, it was a fun party, hot dogs, cake, and fun with friends.

And now.... well we have been left in charge of the Pauls farm, the cows, milking, feeding and bedding them, the chickens, dog, cats and whatever else comes along. :) While Josh's family is gone to Tenn. for 2 or 3 weeks. It's really quiet now. :)
