Not the best way to wake up - Nathanael came into the bedroom, lay down beside me, and says "Daddy, I have a big burp." (Means he needs to throw up) That's one way to get me out of bed!!
Suzanne spent the weekend up at her mom's, so I got to nurse a 5 year old through his first real experience of being sick. He hasn't been less work - just a different type of work!
He's better now, though. Had some toast before bed.

Swimming Pools
this is the schedule of the wading pools - just incredible. Our suggestion is to go early to avoid the older kids.

SWIMMING!!!!
We've been going to Vimy Ridge park over the past few days and going swimming. The first day we went (monday) they closed by the time we got there. Too cold (other pools were open, but oh well). Yesterday we missed the slides - those close at 4:30. Today we're leaving eariler... so we don't miss the slides!

Zones of life
Our Church
Service today focused on Canada Day - we sang all three verses of the national anthem - two in english, one in french.
Today's passage: 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Paul fought, finished, and kept. (v7)
The message got me thinking about what stage I am at with God - am I comfortable and settled? Am I receiving gifts from God? Am I allowing myself to be challenged? Am I serving as I should?
We need to be a member of the team - not an armchair critic, like spectator sports.
The best point of the night was that Elisha spent years serving Elijah - this was before he asked for the double portion of Elijah's blessing. The principle is, you receive a blessing AFTER you serve, not before.
AFter church, we had a party to celebrate Canada Day. Cool.
Tomorrow, I busk at the Forks for the first time. Should be fun!
later....

First Post - so what do I say? Hmmmm...
A quick introduction, perhaps?
Myself, Chris, my wife, Suzanne and our son Nathanael (notice the spelling) live in Winnipeg, MB. We have two wonderful dogs, Mojo (lab and Rottie cross) and Ezra (Greyhound cross) as well as 10 fish that Nathanael is in the process of naming. These fish were his birthday present.... at least, the first four were, of which only one remains. Five is such an early age to learn about death. He now describes them as "flushed", as that is where they went once they expired.
We live in the centre of Winnipeg, near the corner of Broadway and Portage. Our area is a combination of wonderfully kept up homes alongside homes that in reality should be decrared uninhabitable. Ours is somewhere inbetween.
So, what else?
Let's stop there and see what I can post later.
