Mama set this up and delegated the photography to her daughters.

This cake was sooooo delicious!

But the owner of it is even more special. Happy Birthday Grandpa!

This picture is worth more than 1000 words. Long story shortened, we had wanted a dog for over a year and been disappointed so many times already. Finally Edgar found a breeder that he wanted to get a Yorkshire Terrier from. Since getting a dog these days is actually adoption, she interviewed him and gave him quite a bit of hope that he would get it. At the last minute, however, she gave it to another family. Not again! Five or six days later, she called and said that she had a puppy available! What a surprise! You should have heard the exclamations and the jumping up and down! Another couple had bought this adorable puppy but decided that they didn’t want him after all. God is Faithful!

At Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park last Sunday.

Bianca and I had a lot of fun doing a spur-of-the-moment photo shoot.

I like this shot but can I blame the paleness on the camera? More to learn I guess.

At this rate, I could update my profile picture every week!

Love the details!

Hi everyone, I don’t know if I promised you a post from our family reunion but we had such a good time and I took quite a few pictures so… (And besides if I were you, I would want a post from it. 🙂 )

A winding staircase. (We won’t mention the rickety-ness) 🙂

 

Love the accent this red door gives.

Obviously a winter lodge

A view from the attic

 

Aerobie rings and trees aren’t the best idea but if you have a long enough tent pole and enough cousins…

Teamwork 

Cousins are the best of friends.

Reunion in its truest state

Hiking

My cousins and their spouses.

The dishwashers

The cooks. (For that meal anyway)

Riding the ski lifts to the summit was quite the experience.

The ‘chosen’ children (as Daddy puts it). 🙂

Groszmama and her youngest grandchild.

Groszmama and her sons.

The daughters

All the children that made it there.

And this isn’t even all of it.

We grandchildren.

And the great-grandchildren.

Bianca and I did around fifty individual shots for a family tree my uncle is making. These were some of the best.

Playing Dutch Blitz.

Playing at the stream where we were supposed to get fish.

Playing a game as cousins was fun. (Yes, I played as well)
