Double Jointed



Hi Guys!
I don't know exactly what happened with last months post, but somehow we got booted off the site...leaving everyone including us perplexed and wondering if those crazy Friesen's are ever returning to Blogger.
Well fear not - I am in fact going to do a double posting this month, hence the title and recap to inform you of all the great and wondrous happenings here in Toronto.

First things first, for those who may not have caught the fly by of the last post, our bumper news was that we are PREGNANT!!!! Yay, a baby Friesen is on the way. Last week Kevin and I were able to hear the heartbeat which confirmed in us, one - there is a baby in there, and two - we LOVE this little dude/dudette!!!

So the last two months have been super packed full of events, schoolwork, roadtrips and all the in between.
Here are some highlights:
- Our Two Year Anniversay, celebrated in Stratford.
- The Ohio Roadtrip with John Arnott for the Miracles, Signs and Wonders Conference. We got to be the ministry team and have a whole lot of woot-hollerin' fun along the way! Kev and I also got to meet one of our favourite musicians - Rick Pino (in pic).
- Boys Honouring Day: where the SoM girls organize a day to celebrate and honour the men. This school we had an Army theme and sent them out canoeing with an Awards Ceremony in the evening - tears were noticed in certain mens eyes.
- Girl's Honouring Day - this time it's the guys who put on the big day for the ladies, and it started with breakfast in bed and a single rose...awww, and ended in a glamourous ceremonial dinner with the two french and one italian guy making us dinner! B-lessed!
- Most recent subjects studied: The Law/The Pentateuch, The Book of Revelation and currently studying Foundational Doctrines - all of them stellar teachings that leave your mind hugely expanded!
- A new member of the Friesen clan: Freedom the Fish, who was adopted after Girl's Honour Day. He was previously used as a decorative table piece, but we saved him from a life of exploitation. He now happily decorates our room!
- Summer weather! Need I say more...
- And I guess just all the fun little moments we share together, whether studying for book reports, doing homework outside, going for walks, analyzing the nutritional value of the cafe food and hanging with the other students. It all makes life all the more enriched.

Until next time loved ones, have a great Spring/Summer or Winter (depending on your hemisphere).

Love Kevin, Amy, Friesen Jnr, Verdi the Plant and Freedom the Fish
