KodiakCanuck
What is a Kodiak Canuck? By the very word Canuck, I could say I'm a born Canadian, or I could say I follow the "Vancouver Canucks", which is one of six Canadian teams in the National Hockey League. I grew up on an island in British Columbia, and now live on an Island in the North Pacific, known as Kodiak, the "Emerald Isle".
We had an amazing 17th Annual Kodiak Crusade for Christ in November and then
traveled to two Kodiak villages, Ouzinkie and Port Lions. God put together a pretty interesting team made up mainly of folks from the Anchorage Native New Life Fellowsip. Gary Simple from Venetie, Alaska near Fort Yukon, on the Arctic Circle, was one of our speakers. Gary has been in Kodiak a number of times for our Crusades. Many of the people attending enjoyed his music and speaking, as well as the others from Anchorage. We were blessed by being able to travel to Ouzinkie and Port Lions. Many of our friends there, appreciated our coming.. Great traveling weather, except for the last day, when we got weathered in, in Port Lions. Even that was a blessing as we met together for prayer with a number of folks from the Hillside Bible Chapel. After prayer that eveing, the winds just dropped right off allowing us to return to Kodiak the next morning.
Our delightful granddaughter Abigail Raine Tourbin, dressed up as a lion at her home in Port Angeles, Washington. "Abbie" has two older sisters, Elena, and Ava. But look at those beautiful dark eyes. Love it. I think this photo was taken in October 2009. Abbie's parents are Eric and Rebekah Tourbin
Harli Lin Ross at 14 months
Harli Lin Ross at 14 months. This photo and a few more were sent to us from Harli's parents Richard and Jennifer Ross. She is very photogenic don't you think. We are especially excited for Harli's parents as she is going to have a brother born into their home the summer of 2010. We're pretty excited ourselves, as this will be the first "Ross grandson" to born into our family. See that red hair? It's a Ross trait. Harli has a number of cousins who have this same color hair. We think see's a little doll.Labels: Family
The Newest Grandbaby - Harli
Harli Lin Ross
Was born in Everett, Washington November 20, 2008 to the proud parents Richard and Jennifer Ross. Richard is our youngest son, and this is Rich and Jen's first child. We are so proud of them all.
We were not able to be present for the birth, but the other set of grandparents, Ron and Linda Ortman of Marion South Dakota were.
Harli is a real bundle of joy.
New Grandbabies
Abigail Rayne Tourbin,
Daughter of Eric and Rebekah Tourbin was born May 27, 2008 in Port Angeles Washington. Linda and I were there for her birth, and what an excited time that was. She is a real doll, and we are enjoying an extended time of getting to know her better, as Rebekah and the girls are staying with us this winter.
