We're soon flying to the Philippines! Praise the Lord! I'm just reflecting on the fun cultural things we've been able to do these last few weeks in America. The full album is on my Facebook (join as a friend!), but here are some highlights.
My mom and I choose some pumpkins--whose is the biggest?!
Nate and I team up to carve our first pumpkin together.
This just makes me laugh--Luke is not a happy cow! Try getting your three boys to pose in their costumes! So funny! (Malachi is a Kangaroo with Monkey legs, if you were wondering).
Fun to spend a holiday with cousins! We called it "costume day". It was the boys' first time to wear costumes and get candy! They loved it!
Luke's first haircut---not too happy! Haha! I had to get this one for his baby book--he will laugh one day.
I have to leave my journals at my mom's house! I got sidetracked as I packed my latest 12 journals (written in 2 years!). I found this precious entry in 1986 when I was 6 years old!
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5.10
Thank you, Lord, for giving me a hunger for your Word even at a young age. May the same be true for our little sons!
Fun to spend time with my life-long friend, Trisha! She did a great craft with us so we can bring autumn with us to the Philippines!
Taylor homecoming--we got to see many special friends, including our special family the Stevensons!!! So happy!
Face painting was another first for the boys. Malachi wanted a flower with a bee. Cute guy!
Elijah and Sojo!! "I missed you!"
Getting hoods--cold weather coming!!
I wish I had the "before and after" for you. We have pics of me and Nate at this sign when I first met his family, then later with our baby Elijah, and now all 5 of us! Who knows, maybe someday we'll be back to send our son to college!
Beckers 5 at the pumpkin patch. We're ready to fly! Thanks for praying for us, for partnering with us, and for sending us! We will see you on the other side!
