Matins

We started a daily Matins at St. Aidan's in August and I love it. I'll admit that I had my doubts about the doability of a daily morning service but it's really working. Anyway, I've been wanting and trying to get a picture of the boys serving with Daddy for awhile. Finally managed.

Gabriel!

And I thought he was a cutie before.

He is so excited about having glasses. Now he is even more like his big sister. And the resemblance between my dad and Gabe is even more striking.

What's Happening

Last Friday we went to the dedication of the new bandstand in the park downtown. The kids had a blast. There was free hot chocolate, balloons, a bugle band and the high school jazz band. But the highlight was definitely the flame thrower.

On Sunday we left right after church for the wedding reception of friends in Calgary. It was fun to see so many people from St. Peter's and to meet the new second priest there, Fr. John, and his family.

The rest of the week has been busy as usual with school for Lily (her 1st term is ending next week), work for R (he's working for the Salvation Army for the Christmas season) and church, of course! Speaking of church, the OCA has a new Metropolitan and I have to say that it's very exciting. You can hear him over at Ancient Faith Radio and I'd highly encourage you to do so.

Gabe needs glasses!

Little Gabe needs glasses. Apparently he has the same far-sightedness as Lily. So in a couple weeks we go back and get his exact prescription and he'll have a new look!
