Welcome back to the blog. Brent has been having a very GREAT summer. Its been busy.
We had an amazing time at Emma Lake. Thank you so much Don and Maxine for giving us another year of memories.

After we returned from Emma it was time to set up the pool in the back yard. It has been such a relief on these hot days. The family has even been taking a dip before going to bed. The water has been so warm.
Brent was very excited that he could make it to his friend, Amanda's wedding. Lots of fun till the wee hours of the morning. :)
We went out to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's for a weekend. We helped them out with some yard work and Grandma rewarded us with some fresh garden vegetables cooked in a cream sauce. Thanks Grandpa for sharing from your garden.
Grandma and Grandpa Neufeld came for a visit on the weekend of August 6 - 8th. We had lots of fun, playing some games and visiting. We all went to Uncle Phil and Auntie Pat's on Sunday the 8th.
James, Katie's very best friend and now a very dear friend to us all came for a visit this week. Brent and James went swimming, played xbox, and watched the t.v. series Numbers. We had a great time.
Brent has continued with physio 3 times a week and massage once a week.
Brent is looking forward to August 21st when he leaves with Pastor Rob and his crew that he's gotten together to do a children's camp in B.C. Good luck and traveling mercies as they go.
We have heard that there is a waiting list for Brent's ostomy reversal for 4 - 12 weeks. We are praying for sooner than later. Brent is so ready to get rid of that thing. It's cramping his summer recreation like swimming... ! Thanks for everyone and their constant prayers.

Thank you for your prayers.
Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

  3. WOW! Brent...you look amazing!!

    I have been following your blog since the accident and I am amazed at how much you and your family have gone through, but I am also amazed how the grace of God has been so apparent in your trials as well as your victories.

    I send you all my best wishes and blessings and thank you for the opportunity to be a 'part' of your lives and your inherent faith in God. You have shown us courage, fortitude, faith, love and healing in such profound ways and I am forever grateful for your example of true strength and love.

    I will always remember the miracle of Brent's recovery and the sweetness of Katie's smile.

    Thank you so much for sharing this journey that is your life. God Bless.
