Life continues at a steady pace for us... here's some of what we're up to;

Our little girl turns 11 tomorrow.. can't believe how fast the time has gone by!  she has changed so much since we moved to Hepburn.  The dr. actually said she thinks Syd is as tall as she'll ever be.  I doubt that, but couldn't believe it might  be true!

Bren and O are off to Edmonton for YC tomorrow.  I think Bren plans to have  mustache for the weekend. Ick.  They will have lots of fun together. 

Karen and Bry visited hepburn last weekend, it was awesome!  I took Eryka on a few little walks, she even wandered over to the Jeschkes to give her cousins a good night kiss on Saturday night.  It is so good to share our life here with family from Winnipeg.  The only un-awesome thing about the visit was Bry's mustache.  (is there a theme here?)  he's growing it for the grad photos for the training he'll soon be finishing, but I could hardly look at him without laughing.  We all held the baby lots, I'm sure she is now accustomed to being held and won't let Karen put her down all week.  On Sunday, we visited the crooked bush and the big tree, SK landmarks  :o)  Then we had ice cream in Blaine Lake.

Bren is enjoying work. After a board meeting this week, he was commenting on how supported he has felt in his role.

A new finance person will be starting next week at Bethany, and we're exploring a couple of options for some other open positions too - its very exciting to think of having some of the vacancies that have been around for a while filled.  I told someone today that my office may soon have an aura of calm productivity instead of disorganized chaos.  I hope......

Thanks for staying in touch with us and reading.   

Here's a 'hmmmmm' from earlier this week:

"(We) enter churches with the same mind-set as when we enter the shopping mall - 

to get something that will please us or satisfy an appetite or need. 

 John Calvin saw the human heart as a relentlessly efficient factory for producing idols.  

With the development of assembly-line mass production, 

we are putting these idols out in great quantities ... 

to suit every taste. John Calvin's insight plus 

Henry Ford's technology equals North American Religion."
