Yesterday we had such fun, us three little Heikoops. :) We finally weeded our 'gardens', which felt so good.
My man working away.
Katelyn sleeping in a little outdoor playpen/crib :) while we made our little home a little neater on the outside.
Then, we went for a hike up the Bruce Trail, where James and I got engaged in November 2007. We hadn't been there since, so we went for a family hike. :) We got off late, starting to hike around 7:30 p.m. It had just rained so it was on the slippery side, but holding each other's hands, we were just fine. :)
This is how light it was when we started...
You can't see it at all, but we're sitting right where we got engaged...sigh...and happier than ever!
So, after we found where we had got engaged, thus began the battle with nature, to try to find some dry wood to start a fire and have our hot dog roast. :) It took a bit, but we got some dry wood, and then to light the sticks got to be a challenge - we used up all the paper towel we brought, napkins, and our lighter started to die....so after about 20 minutes of difficulty, we gave up...and started to eat a few things that we brought. Then James found the candles he had brought to put our cake :) and decided to give it one more shot - so we used our paper plates, cake box, candles and a diaper, and we had a roaring fire...by then it was 10:10 p.m. :) So we had our weiner roast, and got all warmed up by the fire for an hour. :)
Katelyn's first bonfire.
Me and Kate sitting in the forest. Then after 11 p.m. we got the fire out, packed up, and began the 3 km hike back in the dark - but with a flashlight... :) We had fun for the rest of the hike, and eventually made it back home and to sleep. :) A fun time together as the littlest Heikoop family.
A baby gift from three ladies in our church - Rhonda, Krissandra and Marie. The baby cake is filled with diapers, lotion, shampoo, socks, slippers, toy, creams....etc.... and the most adorable wooden clothes hangers!! Such a neat gift which we'll enjoy for a while.
Then two of Rhonda's girls made blankets for Katelyn - Morgan crocheted the beautiful purple and yellow blanket - her first time crocheting, and abosolutely amazing! Allison, made the cozy flannel quilt!! Little Katelyn will never need to be cold!! So blessed by all of the love given to us.
