When the gods want to punish us, they grant our wishes…..
We have been able to spend lots of time with our families since our arrival back in Canada. We lived with the Davis family for a few days before having lots of family help as we moved back into our house. We had lots of family time over the holidays…Christmas Eve, Christmas Day with both families, boxing day, an extended family gathering on the 27th, plus a few bonus activities like helping Beth’s parents move, a girls outing to the Ballet with Brent’s mom and sister, a house blessing, New Years with Stephen and Pleuntje, an impromptu trip to Niagara Falls, a few dinners here and there, dog-sitting for the Davis family puppy….and the list goes on. And, we’ve only been home for a month! Even when we don’t plan things they seem to happen spontaneously…we went out for dinner last weekend and who should arrive at the same restaurant but Clint, Jennifer and Brad!
All joking aside, it has been great. We have enjoyed every minute of our time with our families since we returned home. It is part and parcel of just what we were missing in Leeds. After all, we never bumped into Clint, Jennifer and Brad on a Friday night at a restaurant in Leeds.
Here are some pics of our fun times with family over the last few weeks….
