A grandchilds right!!

Well, every family has different things that are important to the children. In my (Eileen) family the kids seem to all watch and see when they become taller than Grandma Renaud!! Eden has achieved this goal just before her 13tg birthday.. She is very pleased with herself! 

A New Family Photo!!

It has finally happened!!  

We have a new family photo!!  I do like to wait until you can get a view of the littlest ones face but some times it takes longer than expected.  Jeremiah is now 2 months old so posing very nicely!!

If you would like a printed copy of our updated family photo just send us a quick email.  We have ordered some and are hoping to send them out in the immediate future!

Blessings,

Easter Monday, Family day for a walk!!

On Easter Monday we took the opportunity to escape the city to a nearby village, Gerrards Cross.  It isn't a big place but we really only went for a walk in one of their local parks that also has a small forest area.   

We all had a wonderful time and felt refreshed just getting away from reality and spending some time with family.  There was a large group of us with Grandma and Grandpa Lawler, Grandma Renaud, Uncle Marc, Marc-William, Uncle Jon, Auntie Tina, Tolkien, and Grandma's dog Chase and of course our family!

Happy Easter

We wish you all a very happy Easter! 

He is risen! He is risen indeed! 

Happy New Year!

It seems another year has flown by and we are now in 2014!!  So much has happened in the past months and so much more is expected for the coming months.  We look forward to keeping in touch with you and would love to hear how your doing. 

Blessings for the new year!

Our Team Retreat

Thank you!  To each of you who had been praying for our team retreat last week.  A small group of us had gone up to Wales a day early to set up, we were able to get all of the tents set up and the site cleared before the rest of the team arrived the next day.

The beginning of the week was very wet!  We joked about the fact that the incredible levels of rain is why the country is so beautiful and green.  Inside we were each praying for it to stop! Camping in the rain is even less fun then it sounds! We were all there to rest and have a chance to just 'be' together without the normal levels of responsibility and expectation.

Thankfully the end of the week brightened up and we were incredibly blessed with our time together. We were each able to leave Wales feeling rested and refreshed!!

We are already looking forward to next year!!

                   to help you experience Wales with us there is a recipe below for Welsh cakes!!

The Cooking Team  Each year during our team retreat we are blessed with a team to come and help serve with cooking the meals.  This year we had four people on the cooking team, the interesting difference from previous years is that these four are university students who openly said they didn't know how to cook! Eileen had the privilege of working with them throughout the week and what a blessing they were!  Every moment of food preparation in the kitchen was fun. Through the course of the week we worked on 900 meals!!
