22/33

After church on Sunday we drove to Echo Lake.  Jeremy & family (without Jacson), Edward and all his family and Sue-anne, Langley and Carter were at Jeremy's cabin when we arrived.  Later that night Nathan and family without Orson arrived. That made 22 of the 33 members of our family were there.


We were looking forward to the eclipse of the sun on Monday morning.  For me it was very disappointing.  It didn't get dark - just a little dim and cooler.

Lochlan's Baptism

On the 19th August Sue-anne and Carter picked us up and drove us to Calgary for Lochlan's baptism. He was baptised by his father.


For lunch the Crawfords and Baines gathered at Nathan and Tara's house for a barbeque.

We drove back to Lethbridge later that day.

Summer Update

It has been a hot few months with no rain since earlier in the spring.  It was good for growing raspberries and for Bob's spaghetti squash which has taken over the garden.



Everything has been usual for us - home teaching, visiting teaching, a Family Home Evening end of year party, book club, a few temple sessions and Bob at the Temple on Saturdays.

On June 3rd I went to an AGS genealogy workshop hoping that I might find out some new techniques or sources.  Although it started at 7:30 a.m. I didn't get there until 9:00 a.m.  When the speaker started talking about writing out pedigree charts and group sheets in pencil I got a little bored and left early.  The next week I attended an AGS meeting about DNA, but it wasn't anything I didn't know.

On the 9th June Bob, Joan and I went to Brooks and had lunch with Paulette and Donald and Diane.  We went to the cemetery to see the new headstone for Mom, Dad, Ross and Bobby.

On the 18th June we went to Calgary.  Originally it was to hear a Father's Day talk by Nathan, but as he ended up in the hospital Liam read his talk.

Erica visited a couple of days in June.  We went to O'Sho for supper and Sue-anne and some of her family joined us.

From July 3rd to July 8th we were at Echo Lake.  Jeremy and Julie were there when we arrived, but left later in the day.  It was really too hot to do anything.  We went to the Big Fork Summer Theater and saw "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".  We enjoyed the July 4th fireworks at the lake, although we went down too early and left too early.







Nathan and Tara came and visited us from July 16th to 18th and left Keaton, Lochlan and Matt with us until Nathan came back on Friday.  Lochlan celebrated his 8th birthday here.



On the 23 July we attended a multi-stake meeting at the Enmax Center.  Stake and ward boundaries were realigned.  We are in the same ward with different boundaries and in the same stake.  Our meeting times change to 11:00 a.m.

Miranda and Erica arrived that night.  Erica left in the morning, but Miranda stayed for the week and attended climbing camp at the U of L.  Edward and Austen came on Friday evening and we met Erica and Lincoln at O'Sho where we had supper. Bob went to the Temple on Saturday and Edward, Austen, Miranda and I had lunch at Harvey's before they left for Calgary.

On August 4th Joan and Jenn Lucas picked me up for breakfast at Cora's.  When I got home Bob and I left for Calgary.  We stayed with Edward and family and went to the Temple with Orson and then out for a snack.  Orson had come from Ottawa for the long week-end.  On Sunday Nathan and Tara had a barbeque and Edward & Jeremy's families came.



Last week Bob volunteered at the Soup kitchen and started his FM group audit.  He is continuing with the audit this week.

Family Dinner and Reception

A family dinner was held at the Remington Carriage Centre - good food and out of the wind.


Sisters and Brother of the Bride

 The reception included a beautiful bride, handsome groom, beautiful decorations, delicious food and the candy table was a hit.  What more could we ask?
