Our Brother Joel

It was great having Joel with us over the summer! Good times.









Gelato Joel (good ice cream!)



















Surgery patient Joel (work injury that required the removal of a ring...)



















Camper Joel (Greendrop lake backpacking and Camano island car camping)















Chef Joel (makes wicked beans on toast and dragon-fire chinese noodles and choco-chip cookies!)

visit from afar

our great friends peter & jess (we met in PNG) made a stop to visit us in abbotsford on their way from alaska to michigan! we enjoyed a good indian meal together, went to the mission abbey, and had a bbq at heritage park. our time together was short, but so lovely!

Games Night with Second Cousins

This weekend a long awaited event took place - I got to see some of my second cousins! We had a games night with Melissa, her husband Sheldon, Angie, her husband Steve, their little peanut Molly, and my sister-in-law Courtney. Hopefully this will be the first of many get-togethers!
