A Full House- The Pardys and McNallys!

Hey everyone! We've had a busy, and fun filled week with two visiting families! First, on Friday night we had the Pardys: Sharon, Larry, and their boys, Madison and Hayden, stay the night with us. They arrived at 12 something- so Scott was long gone to bed and I was on the nightwatch (which is my preferred watch anyways!- Scott got up both mornings and made french toast for everyone:)

Scott, before we met when he was in his first and second year at Acadia Div. College, stayed most nights at the Pardys, since they lived right up from the school in Wolfville. Before they moved there they were serving and attending Scott's home church (where Papa pastors) in Lake Echo, NS. It was great to catch up with them and see the boys- they've grown so much, and Madison has this amazing card trick that I can't figure out:).

Two nights later we were blessed with a visit from John and Catherine McNally, and their kids R, N and S. John was our pastor back in the valley where Scott did his Supervised Field Ed. (SFE), and John was his supervisor.

We were so glad to see them and we had a great chat- pretty much picking their brains about ministry and life stuff over tea- thank you guys- it was so encouraging to us. We went for a McAdam 'tour' to the station and then to the playground where they had this cool Zip Line thing- it was very Alias-ish!! (I woke up with a pulled muscle today...)

"Camping" at the Kohlers, in the sun porch-so cute!



In the morning the kids couldn't leave until we had played some soccer with them in our backyard- it felt a lot like camp, and was a lot of fun (plus a good way to start the day- with a workout...I volunteered to be goalie for the first while...:)
