WHAT a week!!!

Monday we brought Ben to the airport... Off on a fan tour in NY/Buffalo area with our nephew!! By the sounds of things he is having a grand time! The kids and I have been on countdown since he left.... Hopefully tomorrow he will be home!

We always love a trip to the airport:

After saying goodbye and a few phone calls to Dad, we found the takeoff runway...



With the coolest little park... A mini runway and a huge "globe"




We watched Daddy take off from the North Pole!!


We were all brave waiting for his plane to come... Found where he was landing and going to...


But when we saw the plane dissappear then the tears came.... Poor Ranen was SO sad.... "I'm just going to cry all day mom"!!

Ikea ice cream helped till bed time... Thankfully Opa and oma stopped in to cheer them up then...!!


Then Tuesday came... A good day of editing... Cath took my kids for the day so I could edit a few session... At night... Well then the fun started!!! I hyper extended my knee (well at least I am still hoping I didn't tear any ligaments!!!)
Super painful and awfully awkward to take care of three kidlets from crutches!!!
Up with ice... 
While the kids jumped...

It's been an interesting week... Only made possible by having Corina live here.... The most thankful I have ever been that she has moved in behind us!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH SIS!!!

Yesterday the kids were begging for their bike ride (which we do most nice days...) but I couldn't.... Corina to the rescue... while I prepped supper in bed ๐Ÿ˜‚

Now... We have a knee brace... We prefer hobbling around over the crutches and we are booking a doc appt just to be sure!!!

Can't wait for tomorrow!!!

Sunrise... mercy renewed!

Each morning,
the sun rises again...

Such a glorious sight this morning!

October is known to be
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
and October 15 is
the main day of remembrance in the month...

Although every day is a day to remember...
6 years, 2 months, 1 day!
Our precious son...

"I always wonder who you would have been"

I took my favourite of the two and put some words into it...

No time....

For this blog.... And people who actually still check regularly!! Sorry!!!!

A few snapshots from my phone while I wait for my kitchen sink to fill up:

๐Ÿ’—fall evening bike rides!!




Ranen made it up the big hill all the way to the top... Proud moment!!



The bear's well used path to the water...

A little break to inspect where the bear climbs over the fence and to pick some flowers :) 



Love stepping out my door into this great abundance of nature!!
