Maple Bay - Remembering Jael (4 years)Well, it has been ages since I blogged. I have both sets of grandparents wondering what is up. It seems that once school starts and all church activities are back in swing that the days and weeks go by like a blur.
So, I will catch you up on activities before school. Nanny Woodlief came to visit the week before school started, and we found some new places to explore. Friends of ours told us about a place called Port Renfrew. Here we hiked to the Botanical Beach. There were tide pools all over the place with lots of sea life to explore. To get there was an adventure in itself because we took the scenic route which was an old logging road. We pulled off to the side of the road for a picnic lunch and wow the scenery was beautiful.
Nanny also got to see Conor play football. Unfortunately it was his first official game of the season and it was his last. Conor was playing terrific and then he got clipped from behind by his own player and tore his ACL. Conor is out for the year according to the orthopedic surgeon. His scheduled surgery is November 9th. Right now he is going to physical therapy to keep his knee loose and the muscles strong. Not playing football has been so hard for him. He was practicing and playing football 4 times a week and now nothing. He is still playing drums, but the inactivity has been really hard on him (and I must say - mom as well!!!).
Nanny left the day that school started and it has been crazy ever since. Mackensey is in Musical Theatre and GEMS girl's club and Conor is playing drums and has youth group every Friday night. We are busy with two Bible studies a week in our home, MOPS, teaching school, Kids Town, GEMS and the list could go on.
We just had Canadian Thanksgiving and we are gearing up for our very large American Thanksgiving with our couples Bible study group. We have decided to make this a tradition despite the fact that it is a lot of work. So, I will close this blog by saying that I will try to do better at taking more pictures and updating the blog more.
