Visitors


We have been blessed with LOTS of visitors since the end of November! My parents were able to visit the week of US Thanksgiving. Four days after they left, Victor's parents arrived. Then the day after they left we had some friends in town from Texas. We had a great time visiting with family and friends.
My parents visit was pretty low key. They were here for the coldest week so far this winter! It snowed twice while they were here. They kids, especially Carson, loved the snow! My mom and I got to have a girls day shopping in Washington (despite the snow). Then on Thursday, my mom and I did lots of baking. We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Phillips.
Victor's parents got in on a Thursday afternoon. On Friday we woke up early and headed to Whistler! This was a great trip and are very thankful they took us. This was Carson's first time to ski (or try at skiing). We put him in ski school. Looking back, that probably wasn't the best decision. He didn't stay all day, but afterwards he did say it was fun:). Maybe next year... Victor and I had a great time skiing. Mr. Earl even skied a half day- that was an adventure! The rest of their visit was spent sightseeing since it was Mr. Earl's first visit.
Then our friends from Texas arrived. This was a "vision trip" for them. They are praying for God to guide and lead their family where He wants them. Vancouver looks to be at the top of the list!! They are seeking God and His will for clarity and direction on this journey. We are praying alongside them that God would point them to the perfect place in Vancouver. We had a great time showing them around the city and sharing amazing stories of what we have seen God do since we have been in Vancouver.
Here are pictures...

  1. That peanut picture shows that you are the coolest mom ever! ha! I enjoy getting to read about y'all...although it makes me wonder why we weren't best friends when we lived next door to each other! We have SO much in common! :)
