Canvas shoes


Liam got some canvas shoes for school. He keeps asking me "are you SURE these are 8 year old's shoes?" We got his in the US, and no other kids in his class are wearing them. He's seen teenagers wearing them, but no kids his age.

Because nobody else in his school is wearing them, he is unsure about them. He loved them when he saw them and tried them on and was pretty excited about them. I hope that he can get over his "peer pressure" anxiety and just wear them because he loves them! He has camo ones for out door use and a spider pair for indoors at school. His camo pair is like these, except green with no red stripe. I think they are pretty cute on him (can I say that about an 8 year old boy? cute?) and Liam has always been his own unique person and worn what he likes so it makes me a bit sad that at only 8 he's worried if the other kids are wearing the same things. Ryan and Kyle both got regular sneakers that they are happy with, so no worries there!

It's official! I'm heading East.

 G has been transferred. His company is opening a new branch in New Brunswick, and he's been chosen to move there and open and run it.  I have such mixed feelings about this. I can see the "leading" in it, how God has been slowly paving the way. I can't WAIT to live where I can go to the beach, have so many bible conferences close by, and just be "down east". I am also dragging my feet, because in spite of having wanted to go back since I left, I have my sister and so many great friends here. It's hard to go to a new place and start over, especially when you are leaving behind people you love.  It will be nice to raise my boys in the east, but they too will be leaving their friends, and really what they've always known. We've been in Ontario for 9 years now!  I am proud of my husband, that he works hard and it is recognized.

I woke up early today. The bedroom was hot and stuffy, and i just couldn't sleep. I got up and went outside. What a glorious cool feeling it was! the sun was shining, the birds were singing their hearts out! They've been pretty quiet during the day lately. I think it must be too hot for them to sing much. I've missed their happy noise and greatly enjoyed just sitting on my back porch, basking in the coolness and sunshine and birdsong :) I even saw a bunny!

Look at what has taken up residence in my mailbox. I'm not scared of snakes, but it sure startled me to see this guy and his pal when I checked my mail!
