Fun on the Farm

This past weekend we headed 3 hours north of here and surprised Ian's mom and dad with a visit. They live on a beautiful farm in Markdale, Ontario. And with many of the leaves already becoming vibrant oranges, yellows and reds, the scenery was breathtaking. We knew that Wayne and Cheronne VanderHeide and family would be spending the weekend there, so we didn't want to miss out on the fun! Much to the surprise of them all!

Here's Nana, surrounded by the kids, reading stories.


Papa took all the kids on an ATV adventure!


We drove through the back trails to the Campfire! property.


Here's Cameron, Jonathan and Sjaan near the barn and the horse pasture.


Getting my excercise for the day!


It was also a blessing to hear Wayne and Cheronne's presentation on their work in PNG at Owen Sound church on Sunday. They began with a powerful photo presentation put to music. It was very moving for me because even in 3 years we've grown to love the country and the people. I think I kind of forgot that lately as I've often only thought about the negative and stressful things we went through there. Wayne and Cheronne helped to remind me of all the incredible blessings and joy too. The Lord knew that I needed that right now.
