This past week has been very beautiful!! It seems we've had hot, sunny weather for most of our summer so far and it's been wonderful. Hannah returned from Stepping Stones just bubbling over with excitement - her week was fabulous, the counsellors were wonderful, the chaplain did an amazing job teaching through the theme of "God is our Fortress". We picked her up on Saturday morning and each cabin pack did their "cheer", we sang a bit, saw a power point of the week, kids received their certificates, etc. and we ended with a lunch.
While she was away, Jocelyn turned 16 and I took her for her driver's test. She is now the proud owner of a Washington State Driver's License and I no longer have to take her back and forth to work each day. The only downside to her turning 16 is that she no longer can cross the border because we've been waiting to apply for a passport. We wanted to wait for the over 16 version which is good for 10 years instead of 5. Alec had a friend sleep overnight and they had a wonderful time playing boy stuff - sword fighting, going to the creek and getting rides on the 4-wheeler. Since the house gets so hot by dinner time we managed to escape to the lake with our boat and enjoy our dinner in a cooler spot and get some tubing and skiing in.

Ok where did you get that cake? Did you make it or did it come from Jocelyn's bakery?! It looks yummy! Happy birthday to Jocelyn and Hannah! Way to go, Jocelyn...getting your licence! And Hannah, what did you get for your birthday? I bet I know...!!! ;)
All the best.

No, that cake was from the bakery - a small one but very cute! Yes, you are right about Hannah's birthday present. She's also enjoying her ripstick!

Why not get the enhanced Drivers License? It never gets lost because she'll always have it on her!
