Goin' to the chapel

A beautiful ceremony, performed by Brian Wiens.

Brian got to know Eric & Charissa through pre-marital counseling.

He used passages from Genesis 2 and Mark 7 in his

address to the couple and also the image of

a polished rock - one that has been through friction

and rubbing together to become smooth and shiny!

They will be off to Mexico next weekend

where they will have a more formal ceremony.

After the ceremony, we had a beautiful

lunch at their new home.

Birthday visit...

We got in on a little birthday party

with Mr. Shauf today.

We sang Happy Birthday and at the end

he sang along "and many more".

98 years and counting...

We got in some hymn singing and he

joined in perfect harmony.

I was thankful that the ladies also made

time to go visit and sing for Mina.

She has been waiting for us a long time!

Happy New Year

On new year's day we went for a visit

to the Special Care Home.

First stop - Mina's

Yup, she was happy!

Next stop - Grace's and....

Yup, she was happy!

You are reading correctly - she was happy!

Happy New Year, indeed.

I guess we caught her on the first day of

her new year's resolution or something!

(or maybe it was because we brought candy??)

--------------------------------------------

The craft below was in amongst a cup of

straws on her dining table.

I asked her what it was and she said it

was a shower curtain - and then she laughed as

only Grace can (we joined her!)

I should have this picture positioned the other direction

because she said the nose was pointing

to a quarter after three!

Cool observation I thought!

She was a bit annoyed at the camera.

Kelsey asked for a picture with her and

she told Tyler to move back...way back...

haha....a fun visit!

Poster Child...

 Tyler was on the cover for the Millar

catalogue for 2013/14 and Janelle is the

new poster child for Briercrest!

Kathy's Birthday

 Kathy was very surprised yesterday

when we showed up for the annual

"surprise" party Jim throws for her!

Christmas 2013

 Charissa has a sore left eye, so we

all posed to bring her some comfort!

Dale lost interest in our photo shoot!

Goofy poses with our guests. 

Now they all know we are crazy!

Hope they will come back!

 It was sad this year to be missing
Don, Zach & Mina from our gathering.

We were thankful for others that were

able to join us for the evening.

----------------------------------------

We are thankful that Christmas is not just

about a baby, but about a Savior who

came, died for our sins and rose again so that

we could be reconciled to God through Him!

 Christmas Day in Midale with Grandpa and Grandma Kerr

SHBC Christmas Banquet

 A nice evening with a highlight being

Linda and Johnny sharing special

Christmas memories and

the reminder of the greatest gift,

Jesus!

Once again, Kelsey missed the banquet as

she was in Calgary packing shoe boxes for

Operation Christmas Child with friends....

A great experience!

Wheatland Christmas Supper

 

Beautiful supper and evening together

on Sunday night.

Pastor Ed and Susan have taught us so much

about loving people and cheering them on as

they follow Christ!

You are beautiful servants of our Lord!

I love to help clean up at the end of an event, really....

but I love holding a baby MORE!

How fun was this!!!!

Kelsey & friends missed the banquet

as they had a mini camp reunion at our house

over the weekend.
