Back into the Swing of Things

Things have started to get busy around here, school is in full swing. I didn't work much the first week but I've been pretty much working everyday since then so it's been good. Before work started up we took advantage of the great weather and spent some time with our friends. We had an end of the summer bbq at our place where we got to snuggle with two babies, play some games and just enjoy each others company. On the long weekend us and Ryan and Cheryl drove up to Squamish and hiked the Stawamus Chief which is a very well known mountain for rock climbing because one of its sides is pretty much a sheer cliff. We hiked to all three peaks and got to see some amazing views. It was a really fun hike where we had to climb up ladders and between grooves in the rocks at some points. We made it down in time to have a dip in the hot tub at our hotel and then go for supper. The rest of the night we spent relaxing and went to bed early. It was a fun little getaway and a great place to go that wasn't too far away.

One of the days I didn't work in the first week of school I spent taking some newborn photos of Josh and Cassie's new little guy Josiah. He took a while to be content but eventually fell asleep and we got some good ones of him in his cute little blue diaper.

Besides working we have started up our care group and girls/guys night again. It's good to get back into a routine. Last week we got to visit with Rebekah and Zach for a bit as they were out visiting from Calgary. We also celebrated Carter's (Mike and Sarah's son) 1st birthday a little while ago. This coming weekend my cousin Cindie is coming for a few days from Denmark. We are one of her stops in her vacation besides Seattle and New York. We'll be touring Vancouver and some other spots while she is out here so hopefully the weather will be good and I can think of some good places to take her. We haven't seen her since we were in Denmark two summers ago so it'll be good to catch up again.
