Jodie and Doug became members of TUMC (Toronto United Mennonite Church) last Sunday.
They also recently trekked to California and Oregon for vacation. While there they attended John and Brooke's wedding and got a chance to catch up with Jessica, Angie, Anne, Naji, Jonathan, Sebastian, and Emmanuel.
Doug is moving to a 3/4 time position working with the homeless as the street pastor for Lazarus Rising.
Simeon is adding words to his vocabulary by the scores every week. This Sunday he managed to smash a score of glasses all over the church floor during coffee hour. He recently got his first hair cut and enjoyed time spent with Grammi, Grampi, Nana, and Uncle Jeff out in California.
Johanna enjoyed being a flower girl in John and Brooke's and Uncle Jeff and Aunt Cyndia's wedding. She is planning ahead already to her next visit to Grandma's at Christmas and to her own wedding.
Steve is becoming more and more at ease living with us crazy kids and continue to remain very active at Sanctuary.
Angela is enjoying mothering Jacob, gardening, and soccer (watching and playing.)
Ben and Angela are doing and are doing a good job making friends amongst the neighbors. They enjoy worshipping at Parkdale Neighborhood church and revel in the unexpected there (for instance just this week someone asked "can I get some butter with this bread" when they were having communion.
Jacob is sitting, verbalizing, smiling and giggling, and all-in-all getting to be a very big boy.
Jodie and Angela are excitedly planning a trip to Alberta to see Heather, Mike and Yana.

Jodie and Angela, when are you going to Alberta? Alberta's pretty close (prairie-distance-speaking) to Sask., you know--we should figure out a way to meet up. I'll be in the area in August and after... If you're driving, you're welcome to stay with me...
