Carson's Big Weekend!

This past weekend Carson was busy! On Friday night, he went to Emma and Ty's house to play (Victor and I had a date night:) Then on Saturday we went to Squamish for A Day with Thomas! Carson was super excited. He got to meet and ride Thomas, meet Sir Topham Hatt , jump in a bounce house, and play on a wooden train. On Sunday, Ty came over to play. This was the first time Carson has had a friend over to play. They both had a great time. They played trains, rode Carson's horse, ate lunch, played on the train near our house, swam, ate snacks while they watched a movie and rested. We all had a great time!

Life in Vancouver

We have finally made it to Vancouver! God has really blessed us through this journey. We made it across the border, got 3-yr visas (a huge praise), and are settled into our apartment. We love it! Carson and Brooklynn are both adjusting well. We are very thankful to already have friends here- the Phillips. They have been a huge blessing to our family. Since the first day we got here Carson has been calling Jeff, Uncle Jeff! May sound silly to you, but it was huge to me. Sara has gone above and beyond to make our transition here smooth and their kids, Emma and Ty, play great with ours. Now that we have settled in Victor is beginning to search for a job-please be in pray for that. Here are a few pictures since we have been here.

Look very close and you can see Victor and Devin (bottom left). They climbed part of the waterfall!
