.:Packing a box:.

 

Two weeks ago, our friends came here to help us pack a box for the Philipines.  I was so amazed at how many things they could fit in that box :-)

 They put stuff in the shoes, put the clothes in rolls, push and moved stuff around...

 Put Teddy in a bag...

And vaccum sealed it :-)

 

We needed a heavy man to put pressure on it while they tape the box and, Aaron was the best candidate for that :-)  So happy that my big boy has been feeling better for the last 4 weeks!

 

 (I'm still trying to find a way to get those last pictures bigger...)

 

Hope you're all having a great week!

Blessings,

Nancy

.:Filipino day :-) :.

Great day today!
 We had a lot of Filipinos over.  First, we prayed the Lord to bless our day then, some of them worked on preparing  penny jars for the stores while the others prepared a video to put on the webpage.
 After a lot of brainstorming, they decided that they will also do a fundraiser by volunteering or do anything they can think of  to raise their own money so they could help the families from the Shediac Lobster Shop that are affected.
 After they had decided who will be responsible for the decisions and the funds, they wrote a letter to the mayor to ask if it was ok for them to volunteer for the town.
 That is how the Shediac Filipino Rescue Team was started.

Great job guys!!

.:Our Filipino friends:.

Last week, I had on my mind to blog about our dear Filipino friends.  Because they have been such a blessing in our lives, because we love them so much, because they make us laugh so much, celebrate with us, cook yummy food for us, because of who they are...

We met July 1st, 2011 and we make it a tradition to meet at the same place every year...

Whenever we can, we love to bring them on outings, they are so much FUN!!
There is Ruby, Ruth, Estella, Rachel, Precious, Evelyn, Joyce, Minerva...

 

There is sweet Aicel and Estella...

 

 Dear Abby that is struggling with cancer...

Sweet Ruby and her cousin Joyce who's families where affected by Typhoon Haiyen :-(

The sweetest couple ever... Rocky & Neth who are expecting a baby in February...

Dear Kristine who puts a smile on everybody's face and Bunso who is my adopted brother...

Happy Janelyn and Noel who are anxiously waiting for their children to join them in Canada...

My sweet friends Arjay & Sherryl who miss their little baby so much because he is in the Philipines...

Papsy who love to cook yummy food!

Shienna, the one who will put a smile on your face even if you don't want to :-)

There is Mark Allen, Joseph & Billy,  Christian & Jhaine, Debbie, Ruth, Marivic, Bernard... I can't put everybody's name here but everyone of them, they all have a special place in our hearts.

 

This is why when we heard about Typhoon Haiyen, our heart was broken for those dear friends.

We pray that all their families will be safe.

 

We have started a fundraising website for the families affected

 HERE

Thanks for your support and prayers

 

 

Blessings,

.:Bosom friends:.

I know this is late and I should be in bed by now but, I had to write this little note about  my dear friends...
I have a sweet friend named Anike.  She is a very busy homeschooling mama with her hands full.  Tonight,  she sacrificed all the evening to shop with me, walking back and forth in the mall, rushing before the closing time and driving me back home.
She really gives her all when it comes to her friends.  Thank you so much Anike, I really appreciate it. 
You are a real bosom friend :-)

When I came back home, there was a pretty card full of encouragement and gorgeous tea coasters on the table waiting for me.  It was from another sweet friend, my childhood friend.  You know those friends that stick with you in the bad days and in the good days...  I love her so much, she's also a real bosom friend.  Her name is Lynn.
Thank you Lynn for the sweet gift and the note.  It was just what I needed today.

Sweet and true friends...they are such a blessing.  I am so blessed for all the hugs, the smiles, the notes, the poems... 
 
Thank you all  for sticking up with me :-)
Much love,
Nancy

Good night everyone!

.:Quiet night:.

::Last night was a quiet night with our little friends Naomi & Caleb :-)
James was so happy to see them when he came back from school.  After supper, he kindly prepared a place for Caleb beside him while he did his homework.

 

 
Keila played word games with Naomi in the classroom while Ken was reading a book.
Where was Aaron??  I can't remember...

 

 

 
I have to think now...Where was Aaron?  In the mechanic shop?  Playing chess with his dad?  Reading a book?  No...
It just came to me that he was at his driving course from 6pm to 8:20pm. 
Actually, I went to pick him up and on our way back, he offered to stop at Tim Horton's because he wanted to buy me a treat....
 A Danish pastry FULL of yummy delicious chocolate!!!

It was a quiet night, yes, but, FULL of little blessings :-)

Hope you're all having a great day!
Blessings,
Nancy
