Yes, this was the weekend of my parents wedding. I wasn't sure what to expect. Sometimes my family can be kinda out there with stuff. Parents getting remarried is kinda out there actually. The service was actually pretty nice. My sister and I were ready to bolt out of there if it got too weird. I think people would have been delighted if we took out some very squirmy, giggling kids... After a couple of praise songs it went right into "Here Comes the Bride", vows were exchanged, the Pastor sang a solo and gave a little talk, Dad and Mom gave testimonies... then they sang to each other (which was a little strange since they don't usually do that...), there was a power point thing with lots of family photos, a prayer and then the reception.
My kids got completely sugared up and then all got sick the next day!! We stayed at Andrea's and had a blast with her family. The kids all did barn chores and are begging for chickens and animals so they can do the chores every day!!!
On the way home we went a different route and realized we were 15 min from Dave's parents so... we decided to visit. It was getting late so we decided to stay the night. While we were there a man was cleaning the chimney. He didn't wait until Lorne (Dave's Dad) had the bottom of the pipe covered with a plastic bag and, well, I don't know if any of you have ever been at the bottom of an open chimney flue when the chimney was being swept... if you haven't you have no idea the mess it makes!!
We cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the floor, walls, furniture, kids, baby stuff, feet!!.. we were so filthy. We breathed in all kinds of black junk. Our noses were full of it!
Connor woke up at 5 am and couldn't breathe. His lips were blue and he made horrible noises in his chest. He got back to sleep at 6 am just as Justin woke up barking. We are now home in the fresh air and trying to just relax.
I'll quickly mention that we almost missed out on all this excitement when we were run off the road on the way to Saint John. Since I am not a stunt driver on a regular basis I can only give thanks to the Lord for the amazing driving manouvers necessary to have put us back on the road at 115 kph. Dave missed the whole tire squealin', horn blowin' thing (we were following him)!!
We are so happy to be home!!
