House Update

After our house in Lacombe being on the selling market for 38 days we got an offer. Right now the offer is conditional on the buyers financing and the house inspection. Please pray that the buyers financing is approved and the house inspection goes well. The buyer has until September 4th for the conditions to be removed, and if they are removed the buyer will own our house on September 16th. We are looking forward to closing this chapter in our lives and excited for the new chapter God has for us here at Frontier Lodge as a family.

Fat Tire

The beginning of this month our camp held our annual Fat Tire Festival, a big mountain biking competition over the long weekend. Events include cross country races, downhill slolom, trials, jumps and a lake jump. Some of these events I had no idea what they were before the weekend like trials, it is an event with lots of small rails to ride your bike on and platforms to jump to. It was really fun to watch every age group go on it; the youngest ones to try were 3 years old! Next year if Liam wants to he can go in some of the events just for fun and the experience. The event I enjoyed watching the most was the bike jumping and the lake jump they had at the end of the weekend with a BB-Q. The lake jump is something that doesn’t require a lot of skill, you just need to put on a PFD and ride down the hill to the jump on the end of the dock and try not to hit the bike when you hit the water. We had some people who had never done it before enter in just for fun, it was fun to watch and the kids enjoyed it to.

Mckaleigh Grace

We welcomed our sweet baby girl Mckaleigh Grace into the world on July 24th. She was "due" to arrive August 8th but she seemed to have other plans. I was glad she decided to be born on a different day than Liam's birthday, which is July 26th. She was born in the Rocky Mountain Hospital which was a huge answer to prayer! My doctor was a little worried that we would not make it to the hospital in time since our son Liam's labour was only 2 hours total and we are living 1 hour from the hospital she was worried we would have her along the way to the hospital. We made it with 1 hour to spare before she was born. She was born at 4:46 am, weighing in at 7lbs 15oz and was 48cm long. Joelle and Liam are in love with her, well Joelle is over the moon in love being a big sister wanting to hold her all the time and Liam loves all the things that come with a new baby...like her car seat that has buttons, the swing, play mat , and so on. She is just over a week old now and is doing great. We are so blessed to be living in such a caring community of people. Every day we have people dropping by to see if we need help with anything which is unexpected but such a blessing to us.

Here are some pictures of our beautiful Mckaleigh
