Patriotism!

Showing our true colours...Clay stapled this outside! There are a few houses in our neighbourhood with flags, Inkukshuk lights and Olympic rings! Go Canada Go!

I found these on sale at Rexall Drugs...the boys have been asking for them and they were so expensive until now!

More Olympic festivities to come!

The Long Awaited Reveal...The Finished Project

From start...(Clay built the entertainment wall himself, planing each and every plank to make it smooth...lots of work, but so worth it in the end! You'll see!)

Our friend Aaron built the shelves...

We stained it all with this ebony colour...

We thought the wall would take a long time to stain, but it only took an hour!

To Finish ... (and it only took 9 months!)

Abbotsford welcomes the Olympic Flame February 7, 2010! It was so exciting to see the torch pass by in our own town. It really made me think about the Olympics right around the corner just an hour away! It really is too bad the tickets are so much money. Maybe we'll head down for a few free events.

The Boys in their patriotic gear...

Waiting for the torch....B was so excited (but I think he really wanted to see the mascots that weren't there....bummer)

The first glimse of the torch...just out of focus on the right...

The pass...

B then exclaimed, "That was it? That was boring mom!" I replied, "One day when you are a daddy and have your own kids, you can tell them that you saw the Olympic torch live, in person!"

Quote of the Day

"I pray that everything I do will be interlaced with eternal purpose. Things that will not fade away as I die and go on to my real life. My forever life. You can have all this world, but give me Jesus."-Amy Wenzel (David's Wife)

"...there are many people out there who are avoiding God and His calling for their life. In fact, you might feel that you are dying on the inside to do something about it, to finally start listening, to make a jump. I believe you can do it."

-David from Jump David Jump
