Pictures That Will Make You Smile

My Sister and My Parents

My Canadian Nephew and Niece

Me and My Family

Since my tireless work with the President, the Amish, the local cowgirls, and Maria von Trapp keep me sooooo busy, I decided to final post on my personal blog...some pictures that always make me smile!

A trip north allowed us to visit my brother-in-law and sister-in-law

But, at home, I always enjoy the local Amish - especially when they visit my classroom!

Celebrating with friends - new and old - is always a joy in my life.

When friends get married, it's always a beautiful, memorable time

Even in winter, OCNJ is a memorable FUN place to be!

A Niece's First Trip to Canada

It was fun to visit my niece and nephew in Montreal.

And, it was fun to visit Grace Church of LaSalle!

Anywhere Little Bear can get some ripsticking in, he's fine.

Here the hubs is helping me with the children during missions conference in Montreal. The kiddos weren't bored - they were mesmerized with the story of missionary great: Amy Carmichael.

Little Bear is like a magnet to little ones - here he is with his youngest BOY cousin.

And, here is our eldest niece - my birthday "twin"!

She was stunned by milk in a bag!

The Missions Conference Theme: Salt and Light. Yes, that's a candle in a pillar of salt...so creative.

I love this sign and the people standing beside it!

Another highlight was taking my niece downtown to the old section of Montreal.

Outside the Notre Dame - yes, the Catholic Church where Celine Dion was married.

I think it was profound for my niece to see that to even get inside the church you had to pay an admission fee. Soooo sad!

Lovely Ladies

Golden Elvis

Worshipping at Church

My Version of March Madness

Four Birthdays in ONE week! Here we are celebrating Little Bear's birthday at a smorgesboard. The nephew on the right had his birthday 4 days earlier. The nephew on the left isn't that same week, but 8 days later!

So much fun! Pretty Little Princess and I had a Mother-Daughter Date while Daddy and Little Bear went to a missions conference breakfast.

If there are animals to be found, Pretty Little Princess will find them. She was disappointed I didn't have a rifle on me - as Daddy would have liked this one. hee hee

After celebrating my nephew's birthday March 21, my birthday AND my niece's birthday on March 23, our son's birthday on March 25, and then my other nephew's birthday on April 2, we finished out our March Madness with a weekend trip to Montreal. Pictures to come!
