We arrive in Winnipeg - July 2015

We arrived in Winnipeg on Monday evening in the wee hours of the morning.  Lorelle and Jake waited up for us and joined us at the house we were going to call home for the week.  Here are just a few photos of some of the happenings before the wedding.  There's a ton of wedding photos to go through so I'll stop at this for now.





And we're off to Winnipeg!!!

So the day to leave for Winnipeg has finally arrived!  We borrowed a motorhome from Henry's sister and packed all the wedding stuff and our bags and we were off.  It was a very comfortable and fun ride - even though it was quite long we enjoyed it.  We left Friday after work and arrived in Red Deer, AB on Saturday evening to visit with Matt & Fio for the weekend.  It was a very special weekend because they had baptism for their little daughter and Mama Flora and Mama Grande were visiting as well.  So much fun catching up - and playing liar's dice till 2 in the morning.  Crazy people!







Wedding Prep - June 2015

While Lorelle was busy preparing for her wedding in Winnipeg we were doing our best to help her.  Here we are putting together her favors!  Vincent could often be seen face timing or just chatting on the phone with Lorelle as he played.






The Dethan's Visit - June 2015

My sister from Indonesia and her family have been planning a trip to Canada for some time.  This was planned so everyone could be together for my parents 55th wedding anniversary this July.  So on their way to Toronto they made a stopover in Vancouver - spent a couple days on Vancouver Island visiting friends and then stayed for two days & one night at our place in Lynden before leaving to spend several months with family in Ontario.  The kids just loved it - next time we hope things work out that they can spend more time with us.
