Catching Up

We just spent the weekend on our church's camping trip. It was a very laid back weekend (I think almost all of us took naps on Saturday). We got to share a tent site with our friends Ian, Sally, and baby Ruth. The trip ended this morning with two baptisms in the lake. A great moment for our church community.
It poured rain before we left Edmonton on Friday, and now that we are back, it is pouring again. It's been a wet summer, which makes staying inside to do renovations not feel so miserable.

Here are two videos from the past 2 1/2 weeks. I must confess before you watch them that they are neither edited nor are they very high quality. (Read: unless you are Laurel's grandparents, wasting time at work, or REALLY interested in our new house, you might not make it to the end of each video. That's okay. The creative side of me hasn't had space to work lately. This blog and the videos on it won't be neglected by me forever).

The first video is in our old house and features Laurel playing with her little car that she got for her birthday. The second one is part two of our 100 part series on the renovation process. I can't remember when this one was taken, but our house is already looking different. Maybe I'll try to video an update tonight. Or maybe not. We'll see.

Some days we laugh...

and some days we cry. Here are a few pictures of Laurel expressing her sad/angry emotions over the past year. Due to lack of internet at home over the past two weeks, I've got some catching up to do. More pictures and videos coming soon!
