...less than a month:)

The fall weather has now dawned on us in Central Alberta! Beautiful fall colours; I wish they would last a few more weeks…but as soon as the first big wind comes, they are gone. I’m glad that fall will still be in Ontario when Steven & I come and visit in less than a month! I can’t believe it is coming up so fast!
Time has flown by for both of us over the summer and in September as well! I can’t believe that a month of school has already gone by for friends who are in their first year of teaching. I’ll bet it went by even faster for them than it has for us!Harvest has finally started out here. They are working at getting the barley off…but just when it gets dry enough, the sky decides to rain. Here’s to hoping they can get it done this week!
Gems and Cadets starts tomorrow night! Hopefully we have lots of kids coming for the year to make it an exciting year! Steven and I hope to help out as much as we can with the program this year.
I think that about sums up life here in Innisfail! Hopefully we get a few more nice days before the snow decides to fly. It snowed about a half hour west of us on the weekend so I don’t think it would be unthinkable to see snow soon. The furnace has been going since August--so count your weather blessings in Ontario!! Keep some of the warm weather there for our visit at the end of October!

This one is for you Kate:)










It has been a long time!! A lot has happened since I last posted. Lots of visitors have come and go and we have had a great summer out here in Alberta! Work keeps both Steve and I nice and busy and now activities are starting up again for us as September is here.
Kate has asked me to post another blog...so I just want to say congratulations to her and Steve on the birth of a beautiful baby girl in August. Anna-Lyn--from what I hear and from the one picture that saw is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see her when Steve and I will visit Ontario at the end of October.
I will end this post with a few pictures from this summer and from the wedding that Steve and I went to yesterday. Congratulations Erin & Cory! It was a beautiful day!
