Oh the thinks you can think

November has flown by and we are amazed that in a short 24 days it will be Christmas! Today we got to put up the Christmas tree with our family and it was a very special time.  Pictures will come soon!

John had a great time with YFC in Saskatchewan, although, I'm pretty sure it solidified his theory that he will never live in a place with snow!  COLD!  He flew back into Kelowna on a Saturday afternoon and I loaded the kids in the car, cranked the tunes to drown out princess Charlotte who apparently HATES her carseat, and we picked him up and drove straight to Fruitvale.  What a whirlwind trip that was!  We enjoyed our time sharing in a church there with Pastor Bryan and Nyla Henry.  What sweet and loving people!  Nyla collects dolls so the girls were in dolly heaven for hours upon hours!

 
 Waiting for the ferry!  We were freezing!!

 

Just this last week, we were privileged to be asked to housesit for some friends in Peachland.  Peachland is about 2 hours away from where we are, but OH SO worth the drive! ;)  What a cute little community!  The house we stayed in was only about 6 months old and beautiful!  There were many awesome things that week, including spending time with more friends that live there, actually, across the street!  We saw llamas, goats and deer regularly and my friend told me she went for a walk one morning and saw a bear and ran!  She had even invited me on the walk and I didn't end up going.. so glad.. YIKES!

Amongst speaking engagements, school, friends and family we have kept pretty busy this month.  We are beginning to sort out our belongings and think of packing up in the near future.  How it will all fit?  I have no idea!

Thank you for your continued prayers for grace over our family during this time.  The girls can sense the transition again I know and we want it to be a peaceful enjoyable last month in Canada.


I'll leave you all with this thought.  The kids are really into Dr.Seuss and we have recently discovered the book, "Oh the Thinks you can Think".  What a fun book to write!  At the end we make up our own story.  What an amazing thing to dream and be creative through the eyes of a child.
