2 Years Old

Joash turned 2 last week and it was quite an event. It was full of grandparents, cake and tractors. Joash was pretty excited about the presents, especially since he spotted some in Grandma and Grandpa's room a bit earlier and he really wanted to hold it. By the end of it, his paper tearing skills were quite good.
 He got lots of tractors, implements and other things with four wheels. He is enjoying all of them so much!
He even liked getting socks because they had a small hook on the top for when they were hung on a rack and he wanted to "hook it up" to his tractor right away.
 And the cake, a joint effort between my mom and me. If you ask Joash about his birthday, he might tell you he is two, but he will definitely tell you he had cake! It was his favourite part!

Joash was a bit unsure about why there was fire on his cake. I think he was worried about the tractor. But, no problems eating it this time. He thought it was very good!

In the Corn

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.
