Joanna's 3rd Birthday

I know this is really late, but I thought I'd still put a few pictures from Joanna's birthday since we didn't have hi-speed at the time. She turned a big 3 on February 23!


Joanna got a cute pink teddy bear from Sarah, since pink is her favourite colour, so I thought I'd try to duplicate it in her cake. I think she liked that. :)

Spring Gathering

"Praise the Lord with the Sound of Trumpet"
The Theme for our Spring Gathering was Psalm 147:1
Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God.

Good Friday

For when we were still without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die;
yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:6-8





See what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes,
Tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce Christ is risen!
See God’s salvation plan, wrought in love,
Borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man, for He lives:
Christ is risen from the dead!

See Mary weeping, ‘Where is He laid?’
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It’s the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope,
Bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!

One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit
Who clothes faith with certainty,
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned
With power and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won,
Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!

And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won,
Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!

After the Good Friday service, we enjoyed a delicious dinner with our church family.

More kittens!


What fun! Our cat Tiger had three kittens on Thursday - at least we think it was Thursday. That afternoon after school was done I went outside to give the cats some chicken scraps and suddenly Tiger came out of the Cat house leaving 3 squalling kittens behind her. What a surprise! We had been so busy with school that we never thought to check on her that day yet. Here are just a few pictures - not easy to take right now with them all looking alike and blending into her and together and with them being inside the cat house all the time pretty much.

Hair Cuts

The girls just got their hair cut yesterday - short! - to donate hair for kids who lost their hair because of cancer or other illness. Just thought we'd share some pictures of the transformation experience. The girls are happy with their cuts, though it will definitely take some getting used to (and some fixing up here and there).

Some more hike pictures
