We spent 16 days in Canada during the month of June, just me and Josiah. I’m so grateful I even have the opportunity to take that much time off.
I’m pretty sure Josiah grew up a few years in those 16 days. My boy went from being petrified to jump into a pool even with a floatie on, to fearlessly jumping off the diving board and swimming the entire length of the pool without one. He’s never been a kid to be forced to learn something new – it has always had to be on his terms and in his time. So it was with learning to swim. He was ready, and he picked it up in a matter of days.
His cousin Jordyn also taught him to swing by himself (and all the angels in Heaven and parents across the globe sang hallelujah).
Anyway, I took a bunch of pictures because inspiration was everywhere. It’s so difficult to come back to hot, flat, red dirt Oklahoma after being in such a beautiful place. I’ve grappled with God to keep my heart content and inspired here (and really, He’s answered in such a huge, huge way and I’m working on a new personal project that I’m anxious to dive deep into). That’ll be a post for another day. Here’s Canada:
