Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

Well, it has finally happened, the snow has started to come. October 21 is just a little to soon for snow for us. But it was pretty none the less.
When Eli came home from school yesterday, he told me that he really doesn't like the snow and it is time to go back to the Philippines!!!
I agree with him as does daddy! This is just the beginning of a very snowy winter. Even though we don't like it we want to soak it all up as it will be the last winter for another 5 years.

We hope you will enjoy it too. Have a great end of October.

Sophia's 1st Birthday!

Where has the last year gone to??? It seems like yesterday that Sophia joined our family. What a joy and blessing she has been to our family.

She now has 4 teeth and has been taking a few steps. She loves to eat what we eat and loves spending time with her brothers and sisters.

Grandpa Percy bought the cheese balls for Sophia, but Sophia thought they were for him!!!

Here is Sophia hanging out with her Grandpa Percy at her birthday party.


They had fun listening to the doorbell, the puppy bark, the phone ring and the toilet flush, on Sophia's new house!!!

Here is Aunt Chelsea trying to get this busy little girl to sit still for just a few minutes!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend Visitors

We were blessed this Thanksgiving weekend with a visit from our co-workers, Erik and Dana Peterson and their two girls, Katie and Kylie.

We thank the Lord for this opportunity to visit with each other, to catch up and encourage one another.

Hala and Katie really missed each other, so they spent every minute together that they could. Hala said several times over the weekend that it was the best weekend ever!!!

Here are Katie, Kylie and Hala having fun at the park.
