More from Canada

Have you all seen the large electricity generating windmills? We went and looked at some while we were up in Canada. Each one of the blades weighs seven tons! I took some pictures to show you all some perspective on just how large they are.

And here I am again by one of the blades. HUGE. These machines are so interesting. We had tons of fun

Back from Canada



This is Matt's birthday cake, picked out by his siblings. The hand pointing at Matt is Rachel's as she declares that her Daddy isn't pretty as a princess as the cake states. I asked her what Dad was, and she said pretty as a Daddy.








Well, we had a fabulous trip to Canada. It was so great to see so much family. It had been about two years since Matt had last been home. Rachel had so much fun. She was very happy and very tired. We took about a million pictures, so I will probably post more in the next couple of days. So now you all have that to look forward too. Lucky you!
