catching up with 2015



So here we are at the end of May and I figured it was time to update you all on 2015 so far.

The snow did eventually all go and we went from winter to summer in about a week. Although we did have a few flurries this weekend to keep us on our toes!

The bugs are out now and I have the fetching itchy red lumps all over my limbs.
Harriet enjoyed competing in the 4H speaking competition this year and came 4th in her age group over all.

Isaac is currently studying for his final exam this Thursday then he comes home for a 3 week placement before he graduates the end of June.

Josh has 7 days left at school before exams followed by his graduation on June 19th. We have already started the crazy run up to his graduation. Last week it was the grad banquet and baccalaureate service at the local Pentecostal church.  Next we have the grand march, prom and actual graduation.

We broke down in the truck a few weeks ago and while waiting for help a moose decided to cross the road in front of us!

Harriet was in the UNB provincial Math competition a couple of weeks ago, she won a prize at the local level.

Harriet started dog agility again and has been allowed to take Shadow this year. Shadow has a lot more enthusiasm than Max ever had and is catching up to the others in the class well. She is hoping he can compete in his first competition later in the year.

David is busy with all things work, farm and church related and some house DIY thrown in for good measure too!

We had our first hog roast of the season on Victoria Day and have some more booked for next month.
All our sows have now given birth and we have lots of very cute piglets running round the farm.




I have just finished been on the road for a lot of April. I went for 3 days to PEI, and a couple of days to Moncton and Bathurst plus lots of visits to more local schools too. Now my job calms down for the summer while I cook and do admin for the camps we run at work.

Last weekend we were away on our church weekend at Green Hill Lake Camp. It was a fantastic time and as always was one of the highlights of the year.

So far we have no visitors planned for this summer so if anyone wants to surprise us with a visit that would be great!
