It was a gorgeous Sunday and the worship service had put lovely thoughts and melodies into our heads – creation called, but lunch first. Noel has graciously had us over for lunch the past two Sundays as the boys and I waited for Peter to finish some church duties, and as she lives right across the parking lot and has yummy food, the arrangement has been eagerly repeated. I don’t think Peter had even eaten his sandwich before he had opened the boxes of networking “toys” he called them and proceeded to set up internet for the Sharratt’s. (So maybe, if you’re able to read this, Noel, welcome back to the online world, and thank you again for lunch!) Peter sent me off to pick up my sister as he wasn’t quite finished setting things up and she was waiting. Gigi’s sunshine brightened my afternoon and outlook a little more. I’m so grateful to have her in my life! When we got back to the church Peter was wrapping things up, so we piled in the car and headed out for a hike in the last of the afternoon sunshine. Noel had suggested Corriganville which was just a couple minutes away, and where I hadn’t been since before Peter and I were engaged! I remembered some stunningly beautiful oak trees with a clearing underneath, but I didn’t find it right away when we got there. The boys went straight to the rocks to climb!

 Running to the rocks! Ian’s ride for most of the day. How happy he was to be with Daddy! Seth smiling for me before taking on the heights! Everybody up! How great is our God! Gigi! Oh, how sweet is your presence! Ian had fun playing high five with Gigi! A cave, just my size! Under a beautiful, ancient oak. Peekaboo with mommy! Ian just cut his first tooth three days ago!…but you can’t see it yet. :) Seth walking at his own pace. Gigi joined him. :-) Looking at a bit of water down in the creekbed. “…only God could make a tree!” This is what I remembered. Gigi with Ian Gigi and I! Peter and I Jerome and Seth Funny faces for Gigi! Seth making faces for Gigi That’s about the extent of his funny faces. Showing Gigi his black hands from his charred stick gun he carried around for most of the hike. Thanks for the fun and sweet pictures, Gigi! And thank you for the light in my day! walking back. Peter took us out to hamburgers at In N Out before taking Gigi home. What a day!
