Winter Fun with Friends

Everywhere we look we can see how God has orchestrated our move to Southampton. He quickly provided a home we love, buyers for our home in Brantford and a permanent job for Chris. We have found a new church that we love, great new friends and are building so many new memories as a family. 

Today we planned on picking up a new part for our gas fireplace, since we had to head to Owen Sound we decided to see what some friends were up to. Skating was on their agenda so off we went to get Olivia the skates she needed for school anyways and then we were off to the rink. Rain didn't dampen the fun or the bond that we watched grow stronger between the four children out in the snow and on the ice. 

It never ceases to amaze me how God provides in every need, even if it seems small to us. In providing us a new church that welcomed us without any restraint, He also provided us new friends that we can confide in, and their children are perfectly matched playmates with ours. 

While we waited for Daddy to get the new part at the store, we had a little fun with the camera...

After putting on skates for the first time, the little ones were off. Olivia embraced the experience trying to keep up with her new friend. 

David enjoyed the skating experience for a typical toddler length of time (5 minutes :) ) and then traded in his skates for boots to play in the snow with his new friend.

Two peas in a pod, aren't they adorable??

Hubby still looks good on skates, even without the uniform and goalie gear....

My favourite picture of the day came after a quick tumble into the snow....

There were worried moments where we thought we would have another "green" winter, but with the much anticipated snowfall, we enjoyed a great day outside. With or without a little drizzle, we got to experience the joy of winter through our children.
