Update 1 - September - December

Alright, I haven't posted in awhile.  This update is for you Connie (and anyone else who still reads this).
- I tried to get a good picture of the boys together as an update but this is the best one I got from them.

- Our church finally got a pastor and I suddenly had nothing to do since I was on the pastoral search team.
- We had a prayer retreat at a beautiful place on the Kingston Peninsula.
- I got walking pneumonia.
- We moved to a house!  Not ours, we're still renting but it's beautiful!

- In October, my grandfather, who was more of a father to me, died.  It was the first time I had ever seen death happen and it was a sad experience but I'm glad he isn't suffering anymore.  This is one of my favorite pictures from the slide show we made for him.

- There's a big maple tree in our yard and there were lots of leaves, Ian and Simon had fun playing in them.

- Halloween night we found an elephant and a tiger.

- On November 1, 3 women from my church and I went to Connecticut for the Women of Faith conference.  Lots of tolls, lots of shopping, 4 states, room upgrades, and some good talks.  It was wonderful!
- Ben did the whole Movember thing and this year, I did not like it.  I love Ben but had a hard time kissing him with a mustache.
- This is the first picture we got of Simon standing by himself.  Ben grabbed the camera and got the shot quick so there was no set up or anything.

- We actually got a picture of both boys smiling with reindeer antlers on!

- We put our tree up and decorated it this year, seriously!

I think that's about it for updates for now but I will put another post up again... I will.
