Being reminded that life is just a vapor and is a gift from God each and every day and that our only hope lies in Him alone.
Hugs.... lots and lots of hugs!
Having confidence, trust and faith in the One who has numbered our days, knows all the plans for our lives and works all things together for our good if we only believe in Him.

During the HoneyRock Partners weekend, Jackson and I were able to try out the new sea kayaks. We had alot of fun together. It's not every day I get to spend one on one time with my kids and this was a great thing for Jackson and I to do together and something we both had wanted to do all summer.
Jackson had been trying to "beat" all the others the whole time and stay in front and towards the end, (during this picture) he was commenting about where they all were.
I had an awesome time with my little man and I'm looking forward to more 1/1 fun!
Jackson posing with one of the canons... he always gravitates towards anything destructive...
Haley trying to carry a 90lb fur pack
We all loved the furs... some more than others.... Jacob and Jordan were laying on them!!
Haley inside on of the tepees. She stayed in there a really long time taking notes in her journal. She did a really great job. Both Haley and Jackson outlined our visit to the Fort and we discussed, compared notes and finally, they wrote a paper detailing the visit. It really turned out well. I'll try to scan them on soon.
Jackson wearing a wolf fur... his favorite.
Haley, Grandpa and Jordy... hangin out in their pj's.

Jacob playing in the freezing water at Presque Isle
It was very windy and the waves were enormous. I questioned my quality of parenting after crossing the sound over to the isle with the kids.... we were nearly knocked over many times. It was a fun day to end an awesome summer with the HoneyRock '08 staff. Good times...
Jordan soaking up the beauty that is Capkeechy Lake in Northern Ontario. Having a big stick to "fish" with is enjoyable too...
Good Friends
