Beach Days
Last weekend we went to the beach (twice!)
It was a nice time of relaxation before we hit the last two weeks of craziness before the big move.
Joel got stuck in the muck! Dan and I were watching Joel from a distance to see what he would do. We heard him cry out, "Mommy, I'm stuck. Please help me!" Super sweet little boy!
Joel loves his digger.
Dan decided to dig to hole. Said something about not knowing anyone in China, so he switched directions and headed towards the Philippines.
Micah was helping Dan but said he preferred Korea, since its a bit closer.
But they hit some mud and gave up.
Plus, they were a bit crabby and wanted coffee instead.
Or maybe just ice cream.

Finally
After six LONG years of sitting on the ugly thrift store/dead Grandma couches, we finally saved enough money to purchase NEW couches!!!!
We have sacrificed date nights, dinners out and fancy vacations to save a few pennies for our purchase. We have saved birthday money for YEARS for this moment.
My mom gave us the incentive to actually purchase them.
(She said, "You ain't moving that ugly brown couch with no support into your new home. If I have to babysit, I want something nice to sit on!"....or something like that, eh mom!?)
Whatever she said, we are glad that she did.
We are super happy with our new couches. Now, if only we weren't so busy packing to actually sit on them....

Homemaking FAIL
Sometimes things go the way you plan...
Sometimes your house stinks to high heavens of some putrid chemical in Dove soap.
We melted down the slivers of soap that you have "leftover" from a bar of soap, so as not to waste them. (We do realize that you can mush it to the new bar....but that makes the new bar feel less new. And I like new soap. So we went with the melt and pour route). EPIC FAIL! The smell was atrocious. But we did get a monster mini loaf pan sized soap that works quite well. So maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

Micah's 1st Birthday
We had a BBQ at Mill Lake to celebrate Micah's first birthday.
For dessert, we had cupcakes for the kids,
and berry crisp cooked in mason jars! They were super cute and fun to eat (with ice cream!!!)
Snuggles from the birthday boy
After practising all morning, Micah refused to blow out his birthday candle. We promise he did it in the morning! But at his party, the little guy had stage fright.
The inspection
And BITE!
Yummy!
Guarding his treasured cupcake from Anaya!

One Year Ago...
This lovely family moved to the Philippines to plant a church.
We have really missed having them down the street from us.
But in just three weeks, we will be moving into their home here in Canada.
We await their visit sometime this summer.
