I know it has been awhile since i made a post on here. And i regret that, but life has been busy.
And basically just taking a break from this.
Life is going good for us here in Alberta. Everything is much the same here as my last post.
Only difference is we have finally gotten a lot of rain after being so dry for a long time. So has been a really blessing to the gardens.
Now the gardens are really flourishing. We have been eating swish chard, spinach, radishes, beet greens, and some broccoli om the garden already. The peas are setting on already as well.
It has been nice and cool in the mornings but really warms up in the afternoons and feels hot to me, though i know it is still cooler than Texas. The afternoon temps have been between the 70 and 80sF.
The kids are doing great and really enjoy helping their grandpa and grandma in the gardens. I am so glad they have lots to do like that.
Well in my next post i plan to write about God's promises. Well at least some of them, i know there is many, many promises from God to us.
I have recently gave a wall hanging to my mom that has several of God's promises written on it. I just love it. That is what gave me the inspiration for the post.
But i don't plan to just copy those down here like that, i want to find the scripture reverence where they are found. So that will take me awhile to look them up in the concordance and see where they are found. I will be working on that in the near future and then post when i can.
So look for the coming post titled God's Promises.
Till next time,

little more news from the north
I just posted basic news on me fam. yesterday, but since thought of a few things i forgot then.
One thing is the mosquitoes are usually really bad this time of year or can be, but as of late we have hardly even noticed them. Atleast not just around our yard. Also the no-see-omes ( little nat like things you can harly see ), have also been anyoing for awhile. They haven't been so bad either last few days. Usually the season for those don't seem to last to long, atleast not all summer long. So that is good!
We have been meeting other families in the area, so that has been excting. Great for the kids and for mom ( me ).
Deers come up close to the yard and garden once in awhile. So that has been entresting. We also have seen wolves on 2 occasions. They were out in a field here a long ways from the house. We have not seen any bears around here yet. Hoping they will not be any, casue they can really do a toll on the wild berries . And i am really looking forward to the berries.
The kinds of berries that grow around here are blueberries, saskatoons, chocherries, pin-cherries, high bush cranberries, and low bush crannberies. My Dad and Mom grow thier own rasberries, strawberries, black currents, and red currents.
That is my most favorite thing i like about here is the berries.
Well the berries, and the fact the summer weather is cooler than Texas!!
We are still waiting on my husband's papper work to go through. Hoping and hoping it will go through soon. So at this point it is a little hard on us not knowing if we will be heading back to Texas come this fall or tucking in here for the winter. I am so hoping to be here this winter. It will certainly be a neat experice for us all! And i should have lots to post!
Ok, i think thats it for now.
I will post along as there is news to share about us. And will certainly be sharing things that come on my heart and mind as God gives me.
I love your comments as always!

snow in June!
Here it is a very beautiful sunny day at about 72F! Very lovely weather!
But only a couple days ago on June 3rd we woke to a scattering of snow. And continued to snow for a couple hours. The kids were excited hoping for snow to play in. But by the time it stopped snow it was all melted away.
The garden was not bother through that, not even the tomatoes! That night though we heard it was to frost hard so we went out and gathered up as many buckets and plastic we could find and covered several tomato plants. It did not freeze though. We were glad even though we did all that covering for nothing. Because there was many more things that would have been damaged by the frost if had.
Now that we are past that I don't think we will have to worry of a frost again till fall.
We are very much hoping for rain now for the gardens , for they are getting very dry and my parents have had to start watering by sprinkler. That is good for sure to have that back up, but is nothing like a good ole rain!
Everything else is going great.
The kids are still having a blast here with lots to do. Though they do miss things about Texas. The miss our wonderful little place there, their uncle and aunt that lived right there by us, their grandma, and their friends at the park were we met with our home school group. They really do miss that alot. But other wise they are content and happy here and very much flourishing in this wonderful environment. I just am so grateful my parents do not have a T.V.
I am doing very good, pregnancy coming along just fine and dandy!! Next check-up is on the 15th, then i will have less than 2 months to go!! I can not believe how fast the time seems to be flying by. I just love pregnancy so much that i don't like to see it go by so quickly. But of course as it nears to the end i am always very anxious to have that sweet baby here and to get it all over with! lol! I don't like labour, not one bit! I guess that is why i wish the peragnacy part would last so long! Put off labour as long as i can!
Well i guess that is all for now.
I will keep updating on us along through out the summer.
