A show worth seeing... across Canada

I checked to see if the "Safari Jeff and Shannon" show would be here again this year and it's not... but several of friends I know across the country could go and see it in one of their local malls. Click this site of the Go Green Adventure and see tour dates... some are soon, so click this now and mark your calendar!
And see these two past posts about this same show we went to... click this

Hope you can go and enjoy this free entertainment!

March 21-24: You might want to check out this option for Easter Fun at Aldor Acres:

Spirit of Giving

Starting to Christmas shop? Starting to make wish lists for yourself and shopping lists for others? What about giving a gift to those in need around the World in Honor of someone on your list? (click this first)

Here is one way you can do this: through Samaritans Purse Christmas Catalogue;click right here to view it.


OR my brother Matt, has suggested buying gifts through World Vision Gift Catalogue; click this!


Great way to bless those who are hurting this Christmas season and to cross off someone on your list that has everything already! Or a Grandparent who gives you back what you've given them the next time you see them... or a gift to be sent across the Country... you can request Honor Cards that you can send to these people with a description of the gift you chose in their honor! It's a wonderful idea... I've done it many times and plan to do it again this year!

No News Yet...

Just thought I'd update you... that there is nothing to update you on! We're still going strong here... vacuuming, mopping, laundry, playing, walking and doing stairs! (it's supposed to help)
I have been having quite a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions today though, so I'm (we're) hoping it could still turn into something yet. Today was the day I predicted Baby to arrive and that's not out of the question yet. Could still happen - not Elijah-style, but Samuel-style. So stay tuned. I'll try to update again when we are off to the hospital... then you'll know to check back for pictures and details. :)

Happy First Day of Summer!! Oh and there are some free things going on this coming weekend you might like to know about too...

• Michael's Canada Day Come and Go Activities, June 23 from 10:00-3:00, for all ages
• Children's Festival in Mission on Sunday, June 24 from 10:00-4:00 at Fraser River Heritage Park... FREE (probably just look for an ad in the papers coming out this weekend)
• NEXT week Sunday, Canada Day, there is a parade at 11:00 and Family Festivites (very cool) at Rotary beginning at 1:00... Rachel, you'll be busy moving in, but whoever is watching the boys might like to know about this event to pop on down the road to it for a bit... I can post more details next week, if I get a chance!
