Hello again to all of our family and friends, it has been awhile since my last update and although not much is new I figured it was time to let everyone know we are still alive! July has been a busy month and it is now drawing to a close. We have had lots of fun with the kids here at camp and Ian ha made some really great dvds. I have been busy helping with taping and duplicating and I've also managed to read almost three books. It has been nice to relax a bit too! It has been rather interesting working in the same office as my crazy husband but we continue learning new things about each other and Ian is always making me laugh or smile. Ian and I are leaving for a small vacation tomorrow afternoon and we are really looking forward to it! We are taking our motor bike through Edmonton, Jasper, Kamloops, Moyie Springs Id, Calgary and back to camp through Swift Current and Caronport. We are eager to get away and truly relax and enjoy each other's company on less of a co-workers terms. Camp has been a bit of a struggle this year as new leadership has meant different leadership styles and visions and so this vacation will hopefully be refreshing!
I have just realized that I do believe I have failed to mention some very exciting news for me regarding my job in the fall. I know that I emailed some of you but I don't believe that I added it to our blog opps! I found out shortly before school ended that I would be returning to the same school, position, and child in the fall. I am very excited about this as I have the full support of the principal and teachers involved. It was a huge answer to prayer for me as I was really concerned about the security of my job. I know that this bit of information is a bit random but I figured better late than never!
We had a rather interesting week this past week as we discovered 4 small baby ducklings. The directors decided to release them hoping their mother would come back but later that evening we found a 5th duckling. A couple of us decided that he probably would survive on his own so we decided to try and keep him alive. We named him Ptarmigan Waddles and he is really cute! Ian has discovered that he likes to eat cat food crushed up in water and he is really cuddly. I have attached a picture for all to see. Out friend Leanne has decided that see wants to try and raise him so she will take him home this weekend and hopefully he gets bigger and continues to thrive! Yeah so that was our interesting week (Small things amuse us).
I hope everyone is enjoying a great summer!
Love Ian and Jennifer
