Trip to Israel 2010: December 31, 09 - January 17, 2010

Wow....I must say, that to be able to come here to write this post today is nothing short of a miracle!
This has been an enormous ongoing project since our return from Israel back in January; to go through all of over 6000 plus photos that we took there, pick out the best ones, edit them, categorize them and create a website to showcase them!
Let me tell you it's been quite the long journey, but a very fun and rewarding one at that too!

Many people have been asking us since coming back "So when are we going to see your pictures?" , "Are they ready yet?", "Will you be printing them?". And up to this point, I've had to say to everyone "Soon! I'm still going through them and editing", etc, etc, etc....
Well, now I can finally answer with confidence that YES, the photos are now available for you to see!! YAY!! (Thank goodness!)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great joy and much anticipation that I present to you our family's website showcasing all of our favourite shots from every city and location we visited while in Israel:

Feel free to pass this website address to all of your family and friends so they can view it as well!
(I'm still making some minor adjustments to the galleries, etc. but the overall site and all of the photos are good to go!)
We hope you enjoy viewing Israel through our eyes and can catch a glimpse into the journey of the beloved Promised Land of Milk & Honey!

Here's a small sample of some of my favourite shots that are on the website:

Happy New Year Everyone!! -January 4th, 2010

Bernard & I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year! May this year bring lots of blessings and prosperity to you all!
You may have noticed that I'm writting this a little bit late (on January the 4th!), that's because right now we're taking a little break from work and are enjoying some time off in ISRAEL! That's right!! Right now, I'm writting to you from Galilee! (We finally got some internet connection here so I could write this post!)
It's been a wonderful trip so far and we look forward to seeing more of this beautiful country in the days to come! =p
We will be returning to Toronto on January 15th, 2010 where we'll resume our regular working schedules then.
(I also hope to be able to update the blog with some fresh work as well upon our return!)
Thank you so much for a wonderful past year in 2009 and for giving our family the wonderful opportunity to serve you and your families!
We are certainly looking foward to an awesome year in 2010 with you!

PS -Here's a fun shot of our family in Caeserea's National Park at the Roman Theater! With our parents from Heavenly Flowers.

Hello from Brasil!!

Hello Everyone!
Bernard & I just wanted to send everyone warm greetings from Brasil!
The sun is shining, the weather is fantastic and everyone is doing well. We've been having a great time site seeing and touring around as many different places as we possibly can -as well as visiting family & friends of course! =p
Right now we're in Rio de Janeiro and we've gone on a few field-trips since our arrival from Toronto, including a Helicopter ride around Copacabana, going to the beach and even catching a lightning bolt in the middle of the clouds one night! Wow! It's been one fantastic ride so far!!
Here are a few shots we've selected to show you...yeah, it was very hard to choose these few! The bigger photo on the top right is the lightning bolt I caught! Hope this brings a little bit of sunshine to your day! Just click on the collage below to enlarge it.
