i guess its been a while since i've written a newsy post and a lot has happened.
first of all, our baby died. that was very sad and disappointing. being pregnant, we had such high hopes for the future, so not having the baby is like an ongoing disappointment. every now and again we just have to stop and grieve for a bit.
we are joyful that God gave us our little baby bean for those nine and a half weeks, though. it brought us so much joy and let us know that people really do care about us, even people we would never have thought to turn to for comfort or support. everyone was so kind and generous and we thank God for showing us that. and we still have lots of hope for the future.
we had a bit of a busy july with lots of visitors. we had angele and robb with us for a saturday and that was wonderful. we also had justin and bekah over a couple of times. they went on a honeymoon and bekah broke her knee or something while rock climbing, so she came to see us in a wheelchair. and yesterday they brought her crutches back and came to visit us, it was super nice.
we were expecting to have wens and ada with us for a week or two, but after our baby died they disappeared without a trace.
we also spent an afternoon with sarah and donald. andrew and emma joy were there too and we hung out by the lake and rode the sea-doo. it was really nice except i got a nice sunburn. donald barbequed some steaks and they were wonderful, tasty and tender.
on thursday we spent an evening at rebekah daigle's house with a few friends. jonathan and andrea were there too, they just moved to halifax from ottawa because jonathan is a rcmp officer. it was lots of fun and rebekah made some enchiladas and we consumed them with relish. and afterwards there were some left over and rebekah sent some home with us and we had them for lunch the next day and they were still delicious.
work has been getting busier and busier as we get closer to september first.
also i've got some awesome books to read.
well, i guess that's about it, though.
