MS Walk

This past weekend our family was able to participate in the Lakeland MS Walk. Our good friend James Purdy was diagnosed with MS a couple years ago so we participated in the walk to support him and his young family. His/our team was called, "MS Ain't Purdy" and we were able to raise $30,000! Here are some photos from the walk:

The Purdy's:

Thanks to everyone who supported Liam for this walk. He met his goal and raised just over $1,000!!

Our weekend getaway

Josh and I were able to get away for the May 1st and 2nd weekend to the beautiful town of Banff. We were there for a marriage conference and were able to stay for 3 nights in the Banff Springs hotel. It was definitely a treat to stay in such a fancy hotel and with great rates too because of the conference. It was nice to get away for the weekend and reconnect away from the busy routine of life.



Beautiful waterfall right by the hotel

The group from our church



If you look really close, you can see our hotel on the left of the mountain.





We were able to car pool with our good friends Lorne and Gianne. Thanks guys!



As nice as it was to get away, we were definitely excited to get back and see this little guy :)

Thanks John and Tam for watching him for the weekend.
