A few more from the Pumpkin Patch

Victor and I actually had to leave the Pumpkin Patch early. The Phillips were so kind and let Carson stay with them. Here are a few pictures of Carson on the bounce pillow that Sara took.

Carson with the pumpkin he picked out!
It was big!!
Jumping!

He had a blast!

Soccer

Carson is playing soccer!! Yes, it is hard to believe that he is old enough to play! They have a little kickers league in Vancouver for 2-3 year olds (I'm sure you can image what soccer looks like at that age:). He started playing in September, but I am just getting the pictures up. He is doing pretty good. I must admit, I haven't been too excited about blogging about soccer. We had two rough weeks. One week we left early and the next week we didn't make it to practice due to a crying break down. Hopefully, that is all behind us now. We had a practice this morning and Carson did great! He was laughing, running, and giving Coach Glen high-fives!!

Pumpkin Patch

This year we went to a Pumpkin Patch in Abbotsford, BC with some friends. The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun. They had a petting zoo, playground, pony rides, bounce farm, hay rides, pumpkins, apples, bounce pillow and more. The kids had a blast! Carson's favorite part was the pony ride. He rode on a horse named Nick. He thought that was so funny (since he has an uncle named Nic too!) He kept saying, he had 2 Nic's- a horse one and a people one:).

A Trip to Mississippi

In September, we went to MS for 10 days. We had a great time visiting with lots of family and some friends. During our stay Victor had a meeting were he was able share with about 15 pastors what God has called us to be a part of in Vancouver. We are still praying that God would continue to burden the hearts of others for Vancouver. Here are a few pictures from the trip. We stayed the first part of the week with my parents and then headed to Duck Hill for the 2nd weekend. It was an exciting weekend- the grand opening of Bull Bottom Farms! This is a pumpkin patch/corn maze that Victor's parents started this year.

Saying Bye to Friends

A week or two after moving to Vancouver, Carson really hit it off with a little boy, Jack, at the playground. They played in the sandbox and ran around chasing each other and birds. We continued to run into Jack at the playground and began setting up playdates. Needless to say, our family and Jack's quickly became friends! They recently moved back to Australia, but we were able to hang out a good bit before they moved. We even introduced them to a few new things!
