January/Febuary Fun

We have enjoyed being able to spend lots of time with family. It has been cold but, with a two year old we try to get out as much as possible (a little fresh air does us all good:).

Bree took Brooklynn's 4 month pictures and pictures of Carson.

Bree is so talented! These are just a few that she took.

Goodbye Texas

I know I already wrote about us leaving Texas but here is an update and a few pictures of our last days in Texas. We are daily amazed at how God is providing and meeting our needs. It was very humbling moving back in with our parents, but there is no way we could have raised support for Vancouver and planned a golf tournament any other way. We are so thankful for parents who wanted us to stay with them for 6mths and had the room for us. God is constantly opening up doors for Victor to speak with pastors about God calling us to Vancouver (really this has become more than a full time job). We are also currently plannig the 1st Annual ReachTheCity Golf Tournament (for more info go to golf.ReachTheCity.org). God is amazingly blessing this as well. We have sold many partnerships and many have also signed up to play. Can't wait to see how God continues to work through this.

When we left Texas it was bittersweet. We were excited to be near family before moving to Vancouver, but we were also leaving family (my sister and her family). So, our last days in Texas were spent letting the kids play together. I was also able to spend special time with Ashlynn- we went to Sweet and Sassy for her Christmas gift from our family. We had a great time. She got a mainure, pedicure, and a mini facial then we went and ate lunch together. This was right up her ally!

Sucker Time!

A few pics from Christmas!!

As usual, we were on the road this Christmas traveling between Duck Hill, Pearl, Duck Hill, Pearl. We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and celebrating Christ's birthday.

Thanksgiving

I know this post is a bit late...

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed in Texas and celebrated with my sister and her family and friends, the Gaumers. Chenille was kind enough to have us ALL (10 adults and 7 kids-all under 3!!) over for lunch. We had a great time eating and visiting with each other. We ate until we couldn't eat anymore and then went home for naps. That evening Lauren and her fam came over to eat leftovers- my Grammy's famous dressing (yep, I cooked). We were very thankful for our friends and family.
