Visiting Friends and churches in Nova Scotia

 

When we go to visit friends or when friends come to visit us, there is always food involved. Here I have a snack ready for Jacob and a mentor friend... homemade granola bars, yum!

We were completely out of eggs and we were going to stop on the way home to buy more, but our friends gave us a lot of fresh eggs that same day when we stopped in to visit.

Friends that the kids go to school with in Nova Scotia.

And they had a few animals to take care of!

Playing at the church nursery before we spoke about Papua New Guinea.

We were so thankful that Covid restrictions lifted so that we could share about PNG at this church on the Island! God always provides the people we need in our lives at just the right times!😊 It was a great time connecting with Pastor Shaun and his church!

Enjoying our Last Weeks in Nova Scotia

 

We have discovered where Naomi got her curly hair from... her Great Nannie Jane! We walked in to her house and Nannie Jane saw her for the 1st time and said... that is what I looked like at her age! 😊

Nannie Jane LOVES to teach her great grand children how to play checkers!

Enjoying their last weeks with pool in our backyard! They will miss the pool!

Kim, a friend and supporter, visited us before we left... we were thankful that the borders opened up and she could come from New Brunswick!

Enjoying some hot summer days in Nova Scotia!

More costumes at the second hand store, always fun!

Making my own hot dog buns for our family BBQ... yum!

We really enjoyed having Jacob's family over after the Covid restrictions lessened. So good to see everyone!

Happy Independence Day!

 

We spoke at Temple Baptist Church on July 4th! It was a very encouraging time! But definitely a different way to celebrate America's Independence day! 😊 We also got two pictures drawn of us while we were there. 😊

The kids enjoy playing their PNG instruments for worship!

Happy Canada Day!

 

Naomi and I enjoyed picking fresh lettuce and chives to make a salad for our Canada Day celebration!

We enjoyed having a fun day with cousins and Aunt, Uncle, Nannie and Poppie.

And a little video games at the end of the day.

New Clothes!

 

Happy Father's Day! And they got matching new shirts!

I enjoy going to "Frenchy's" as they call it here... a famous 2nd hand store. I love this shirt, "Friends Make Life Fun!"😊

Jonathan had another idea with the 2 shirts he had, but different sizes.

We are amazed by Naomi's hair!

Playing Tourists

 

We did a little road trip to a different part of Nova Scotia for some shopping and light house tour...

Picnic time! Do you like my new Norwex tablecloth/beach towel? 😊

They both got to make the fog horn blow!

And then we went to a music store so Jacob could ask a few violin building questions and buy a few pieces to build another electric violin. Anyone interested in buying an electric violin?

Naomi wanted to buy a little harmonica.

Jonathan wanted to buy a little ocarina and they decided to make a band while they waited for dad.😊 

Excited to play a really nice violin!

Treat! Boston Cauliflower Pizza!
