Beautiful Ottawa weather

enjoying the weather and goofing around

A couple of pics of Logan

As the weather gets warmer we spend more time outside with Logan. He can walk, he knows a few words and learns knew ones pretty quick. He loves being outside.

Eggs, bacon, toasts and sousages for breakfast

The place called Tucker House, less than one hour away out of city. Some crazy (and not really) people from College and Careers group in Rideauview.

К сведению..

Вот этот малюсенький тюбик мази от герпеса стоит 25 канадских долларов (умножать округленно на 20руб)!!! Грабеж среди бела дня.

Благодарна Богу за здоровье. Если болеть, то уж дома, а лучше вообще не болеть! :))) Хотя у меня здесь есть страховка на экстренные случаи. А вот если я пойду лазить на скалы, то страховка не поможет, в случае падения, ушиба и пр. А так хочется в горы!

Видимо меня это так поразило, что я решила поместить это на блоге. Хотя мне говорили, что лекарства здесь дорогие. Конечно, для самих канадцев система здравоохранения и медстрахования работает очень хорошо.

Spring in the air

5 o'clock tea
last chance to skate on the canal

Back in January a few people told me that there was another girl from Russia one Sunday at the service. Next Sunday I made sure I met her. Elena is from Neryungri (Sakha), which is pretty close to Ulan-Ude. It is amazing how God brought her to that same church I go to. Here is a picture of her. We went skating about a week ago. It was the last day the canal was open. The ice was poor, melting.

This past weekend I've been to a retreat with a group of young people from the church. It was very refreshing to get out of routine for a couple of days.

I have just two months and 3 days left and I am going back home. Looking forward to it but I know I will miss Logan and people I met here. Very thankful to the Lord for the time here.

The title of this post is about spring - it's still pretty chilly but it is going to get warmer by Thursday - rain.
