Wanna Pray?



It was gorgeous out this evening, just a perfect night for a walk. I live on the same farm where I grew up and there's a long gravel lane that goes from the farm house (where I live) through the fields and all the way back to my parent's home (which is basically in the middle of nowhere). I've walked this lane countless times through my life. Whenever my dad was with me as a child, he'd always point out the beauty of the creation all around us. And then he'd talk about how magnificent the Creator is! So many times he'd tell us kids to hush and just listen... wanting us to hear the chorus that the birds were singing! Being outdoors just seemed to draw him closer to Jesus! I feel the same way every time I take a nature walk now... I'm always amazed at how awesome our God is.

So when my three little kids were enjoying this wonderful walk with me at dusk, I can't tell you how much my heart swelled when three year old Elijah pointed up at the sunset in the sky and said, "Look what God painted!". We all took in the beauty of all the colours of the sunset. Then my five year old Evangeline's eyes lit up and she said, "Wanna pray?". So right there on the lane, together we praised our wonderful Maker. I'm truly touched that at such a young age, my children know the Lord... how near He is... that we can talk to Him anytime.


“Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for you created all things, and because of your will they existed, and were created” (Revelation 4:11)

Adam and Laura's Wedding

Adam and Laura were married yesterday.... and what a gorgeous day for a wedding! Laura chose to do the photo session in Port Dover on the beach. The lighting was so pretty as it was early in the evening and the sun was getting close to setting.









The neighbours that live next to Adam's parents had a really cool barn on their property. We asked if we could take a few pictures there and they were more than happy to let us do so. Adam went and grabbed a few guns to complete the pose!




My little 16 month old niece, Reese was the flowergirl. She left the ring bearers at the back of the church and giggled her way all the way down the aisle!

A new discovery...

I always think it's SO CUTE when a baby sucks their fingers or thumb. Well, my little Eden just discovered her thumb and I think it's the cutest thing ever... I won't be saying the same thing when she's five though! She's three and a half months old already, time is sure going fast.
