This month Scott had several jobs lined up. One after one they were put off by those needing it done or contracted to someone else. We just continued on, trusting that the Lord would have something, but not actively seeking more work. This morning Scott got a call asking him to come and work for a previous employer. When the company was sold a couple years ago Scott stopped working for them and went independent. He worked with them a little bit since then, but just because it coordinated with other jobs that he was already working on. Soooo, the guy is desperately in need of help and will take Scott as much as he's able in the next couple months. Thank you Lord for helping us to trust you and for providing work when it's needed!
I'm off to enjoy a beautiful, sunny day! We did all our baking yesterday and most of our cleaning, due to having people over last night. This is the day that we prepare for Scott's 35th Birthday! I can't reveal any secrets on here, due to the fact that he often reads my blog;).
Happy Friday!

Playing Catch Up...
Sunday Night we headed home with the kids. We thought they were too tired to stay up for fireworks on Canada Day, but I think they might have made it. They were awake til 10 and Elyssia was awake so long that I decided we should see if the fireworks were visible from the end of the lane. We didn't want to be dragged off into the bush by the mosquitos, so we drove the van:). The fireworks were clearly visible from our house! Yesiree, that's one benefit of living in the prairies. Town is 17 minutes drive from us and we can still see if from our driveway:))). Sorry I didn't take any pictures.
Monday was Laundry Day, but also the Family Savings Day for Groceries. Scott volunteered to stay behind while I took Addie and enjoyed a somewhat quiet shopping trip. I have to say that I missed the other ones. There really wasn't much room for them to sit by the time I got the groceries in though, so it's probably best that they stayed home. There were only 2 loads of laundry left to do when I got home too. Thank you Lord!
Tuesday was a bit quieter than normal because Scott took Garrison to work with him. I got to make cards, etc with the other kids. I think all of us were happy with how the day went:). That night I went into town a bit before 7 to learn how to make a couple cards. This is the first time I've been to a Stampin' Up card party. I have to say that it was quite fun. Adelaide charmed the other ladies and maybe I'll post pics of the cards sometime after I take them:).
Today was Town Day. I made the mistake of saying that it was Wednesday and Caleb reminded me that it's now called Town Day:). We were able to return library books, go to Prayer Meeting, Have lunch with Scott and pick up the remainder of his birthday presents. He turns 35 on Saturday and we're trying to make it memorable:). Now we're winding down and getting ready for bed. The wind continues to blow and we're not really sure from day to day when the next storm will start. We're thanking the Lord that He's spared our garden so far. Only time will tell whether we'll have something to harvest later on.
Happy 4th of July to all my American Family and Friends!!!

I NEED A LIST!
I seriously need to come up with another list. It provides inspiration, motivation and it makes me feel more productive:). Not one with a 6 month deadline like the 30 x 30, but something that is equally exciting. Feel free to send me ideas!
In the meantime I'll leave you with some pictures Scott took during our big storm and some cute pictures of the kids(I'm totally biased on the latter statement;).
The tallest tree in the corner was broken in the storm. At least half of it will need to be dragged off at some point...
Rainbow Panoramic Shot
It didn`t take her long to warm up to Grandad.
There`s a classic smile from Addy:).
The kids favorite place to be was in the trailer with Nana! Caleb got to sleep in there for the first time this year. Nana had told him that after he turned 4 he could have a sleepover. Surprisingly enough Grandad said that the 3 kids made less noise than Sam did barking at coyotes outside the trailer.
Naptime...
Kiersten`s first time with 2 braids in her hair.
Just barely long enough.
Today was a pretty good day at church. It`s always a challenge to get back into the routine after we have company. I think the kids are getting more comfortable saying their Bible verse and singing. Elyssia is learning how to stay on key even when her brothers are singing quite a bit lower. They kept together pretty good and I think Elyssia stayed on the right key for 95% of the song. I`m hoping to work on a special to sing with her pretty soon.
