Sorry for the silence, but it has been a busy season for us.  But I am hoping this week to get a few post out for you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I could share with you more about our trip up North.  Perhaps sometime face to face we can tell you about what God is doing.  What I can share is that one of the benefits was a few added weeks of tourism.  Joel&#8217;s parents and the kids came and joined us after our first week up North and we took some much needed vacation as a family.  It was a great time as the kids are at the age to appreciate it so much more.  We saw some amazing sights and took sometime to just relax.  It was a journey we will all remember.  Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li
