Stanley Park's Prospect Point... Vancouver's version of San Francisco Bridge

It has been awhile since we've been to Stanley Park's Prospect Point. We were nearby and decided to get some ice cream for the kids but the ice cream place was under construction. 

We decided to walk around and found these great view which I forgot existed in that area.

...and the panoramic view of the amazing scene that we are proud to call our home.

Frozen Deer Lake

We experienced snow in Vancouver 2-3 times in a year but this year, we had snow that came on and off for weeks which resulted in frozen lakes that was hard enough to skate on. We were stoked to be able to experience the fun of outdoor skating.

Kimi's 9th Birthday

For Kimi's 9th Birthday, we had a joint celebration with a fellow classmate, Marcus.

It was a simple, No- Frills party that was as much fun as the previous parties...

SKY ZONE TRAMPOLINE PARK

2016 School Talent Show

It was nice to show the kids to learn how to confront stage fright by conducting shows every now and then. Kimi has shown considerable improvement in controlling her fears of performing in front of the audience. She just started guitar lessons recently and I am so proud that she was able to play a simple duet with a classmate in such short notice.

An Epic Week at Willingdon Church Bible Camp

We did our first week of Summer with a Bible Camp from Willingdon Church.

Kimi's 3rd year and Kenzo's 1st.

As expected, they both enjoyed the experience and time spent with childhood friends during the week.

Abbotsford Tulip Festival

It was a bit of a drive but it was well worth it.

There was a bit of an accident that closed off one way and made the drive a bit longer on our way to this event and we almost went home but hubby took pity on me and decided to go for it... YEY!

* Panoramic view of the breathtaking scene of tulip in different hues

I love how each tulip look up close so I tried to take a moment and capture them with my camera.

 

 

The effect of them together was just as picturesque...

...and last but not the least, my family, my own miracle.

2016 Grade 3 Auction Piece

For this year's auction, we decided on photo collage of the Grade 3's in their present and previous years in one box. A special collection of photos from the yesteryears in one package. We also created a trio of frames that depicts the verse 1 Corinthians 13:13

We spent a morning forming the Grade 3 (and their buddy from Grade 6) for the cross formation

Hearts was just an afterthought and was composed of the Grade 3 student only. It came out nicely so the idea for the three pictures being used instead of just one picture came about.

Using mod podge, pictures from 4 years and a natural finish box. We created these...

...and with the use of (3) 8 x 10 inches frame, we managed to do these

I am quite happy as to how it turned out.

It is truly a 

Work of HEART
