Enjoying our time in Nova Scotia...

 We have been in Nova Scotia for the last 5 weeks! It has been a great time with family and friends, a good time sharing about our ministry in Papua New Guinea and a good chance to enjoy God's creation in the fall and on the ocean. :) Here we are ready to share about Papua New Guinea. :)

 Enjoying the ocean on a Sunny day!



This is my first time making Fish Chowder with biscuits and molasses, so we invited Nannie Jane (Jacob's grandma) over for the taste testing. And she approved! Success!

 The first photos of the little Devine! :)

 Canadian Thanksgiving with Poppie and Nannie Joyce (Jacob's grandparents). Lots of good turkey, stuffing, rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy and pie!

 When we headed out to speak at a church a few hours away we enjoyed the view of the Bay of Fundy, the place with the highest tides in the world!


 But it was a very cold day at the Bay of Fundy!!

 I love driving!! I hadn't driven in 2 1/2 years so now I am making up for it. :)

 Ah... smooth roads!!


  Fellowship Baptist Church in Kingston, NS

 We have been enjoying the colors of fall as well!


 And we have enjoyed a beautiful apartment, right next door to Jacob's parents apartment!



 The baby continues to grow! Now 6 months along!

Jacob has been enjoying Tim Hortons. :)

 He was very happy this particular morning to have a Tim Horton's breakfast. :)

 Just a few days ago we welcomed Jacob's dad back home. He has been in Alberta for 2 months driving truck on oil fields. We are so thankful that he made it home for our last week here in Nova Scotia!

 We all enjoyed lunch at the Charlotte Lane, so good!! It brought me back to the amazingly delicious food served at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) where I went to Culinary school!

 
 
 Lemon custard with a tart raspberry sauce... delicious... shared by us all. :)

 Admiring the Chef knives...

 Jacob's mom planned a wonderful baby shower for me and invited all the ladies from the churches that we have spoken at over the last 5 weeks, plus all the relatives!




 Lots of yummy food! Grapes with cheese and crackers... not something readily available in PNG. :)



 The little pumpkin is on the way... so creative! :)

 We've also had fun visiting many friends! This is Stan and Betty in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. Faithful supporters and prayer warriors!

Visiting Mary and Irene on Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia... also, faithful supporters and prayer warriors!

At Home in MA...

We arrived home to Massachusetts just in time to help my parents move my Grandmother from her assisted living apartment to my parents' home in MA. Here my grandma is right at home!

My Grandmother's last Sunday at her church in CT where she played the organ for 60 years!


 At home with my parents, sister Sarah and grandma... Sunday dinner together!


Enjoying our first restaurant experience out with my parents! :)


Labor Day Weekend in Rushford, NY...

 A Weaver family tradition has always been the festivities of Rushford Labor Day weekend! So of course we had to go visit my Grandma, Aunt and Uncle in western, NY for to celebrate with them. The big event of the weekend is the Demolition Derby! Great fun!

 This is just the beginning of the afternoon... this year we watched some crazy things happen, including a car flip. Don't worry, everyone was ok!

 By the end of the afternoon there is no longer any green grass and the cars that have been able to get into more then one heat look a bit crazy!

 The horse pull is also another big event of the weekend!


 And we enjoyed the Chili Contest because we could taste and vote!


 The Chili judges... Jacob actually voted for the same Chili as the judges!

 And of course there is the Labor Day parade on Monday with the Rushford Band.

 And there are always lots of kids ready to catch all the candy that the people in the parade throws their way. This guy is expecting to get A LOT of candy this year! And it looks like his sister is trying to steal some of it while he isn't looking. :)



 My Uncle Roy is the Pastor of the Belville Wesleyan Church and they also made a float!

Uncle Roy in the back of the float.

 Jacob is sure that Interface in Papua New Guinea needs one of these vehicles!

 And he says this would be very handy as well!




And we had to go to the antique car show!
