Zach's Birthday Camping Trip!!

(no, this is not a mistaken "S". This is "Z" for our SuperZach! And he is FOUR YEARS OLD!!)


We just got back today from a weekend camping at Bear Creek Provincial Campground. It was alot of fun!! The boys were definately in their element. All three of them were naturals at exploring, adventuring, tenting and "roughing it".
We went with my parents (Janzens), and invited a slew of families for Saturday morning/afternoon when we hosted Zach's fourth birthday party!! He wanted a SUPERHERO party. He and Ben were both Superman. We also had a Super Sheep and a Super Elephant at the party! (cute)
All the kids, however, were SUPER!!

For the evening Mom and Dad Harnett joined us for dinner and a campfire.

Zach missed a couple of his buddies that didn't make it to the party- especially his cousin Malachi, who sent him early wishes for a happy birthday all the way from Black Creek on the Island.

Other than the party, we enjoyed Opa's canoe and "old fashioned" bicycle, lots of camp-firing, dipping into the lake, eating much good camping food, taking turns playing the accordion, and generally just enjoying each others' company!

"Little Momma"

So, the soccer season is done for me. I ended my portion of the playing year with a tournament this last weekend in Revelstoke. We played three games in two days: two wins, one loss. It was alot of fun, though we had only enough players to fill the field, with no substitutes on the side-lines. Therefore, this "Little Momma" (as I my jersey labeled me) played each game fully, with no breaks. And if any of you know the extent of running that centre mid-field requires, you can imagine how exhausted I was. But OH WHAT FUN it is!!! (I love soccer!)

In this photo Zach has run out to me on the field between halves to let me know he's cheering for me!!

Now, in case anyone is wondering, as I did also, if my losing the "twin" in my womb had anything to do with my playing such an aggressive sport: it didn't.
Before the tourney this past weekend I "barged" into my doctor's office with this huge question weighing on my chest! My very compassionate and wise doctor strongly assured me that there was nothing I did to risk this pregnancy, and there was nothing I could have done to save that baby. It was a natural, and fairly common, circumstance. In fact, had I not had that early ultra-sound to try and find my "dates" I probably never would have even known that there were two babies in my womb. The "twin" was not a "viable pregnancy".
In fact, my doctor told me that I could play soccer up until 8 months along if I wanted to. However, I feel that I can't keep up my breath, and get winded easier than usual. My team, although they don't want to see me go, is quite protective/concerned for me on the field. I will continue going to practices as I feel able to, but will no longer play in the high-paced games.
Oh well, there's always next year!! ;)

And then there were two....

...and then there was one.

I had a doctor's appointment this morning regarding my dating ultrasound.

Good news: baby is doing well.

Sad news: the twin has not survived.

Mixed feelings: loss, yet a bit of relief??? (can you imagine five kids aged four and under?)
It's a bit mind-boggling to think of a child I have carried already with Jesus in Heaven. I feel that this kind of miscarriage (having a surviving twin) is easier to take than losing a single child pregnancy. There is still life in me that needs to be cared for!

God is in control, though I don't understand His ways sometimes.

My due date is still difficult to figure, but it's somewhere between December 30th and January 2nd. This child may be the youngest in his class, or the oldest. Maybe we'll have the new year's baby, and have all our baby supplies taken care of!! We shall see.

Anyway, this continues to be a journey of surprises and blessings. God is faithful.

BIG Weekend!!

On June 2nd Jeremy's "baby" sister, Jerine Harnett, was married to John Holman.
The wedding was beautiful, the day was HOT and the atmosphere was very layed-back. It was a wonderful day.
Our gift to the couple was the purchasing of their wedding cake, as seen in the photo. I have a good friend who does wedding cakes and so I gave her some business, and "cut" a great deal for the new couple!

The rest of the weekend, and in to Monday as well, we had much family and friend fellowship, with the folks who had traveled into town for the occasion.





On another note- and I don't know why suddenly this is blue and underlined- I had my ultra-sound today, to find the due date of the baby. Well, according to the measurements, I'm only 10 weeks along, which puts my due date at December 30th. Personally, I don't think that lines up for me... but for now, December 30th it is.

I'm feeling okay... (now back to this???) I'm pretty nauseous and tired, and my belly is already popped out!! It's going to be a very hot summer...

Well, for what it's worth in the end, no complaining from me!! ;)
