Our dog LADY!!!

Lady lives on at the village and beaches of Ban Nam Kem, Thailand and always in our hearts and memories! We weren't able to take her with us when we moved but got a chance to visit her in December. She was healthier than we ever saw her and played with our kids just like old times as they swam in the ocean and made forts and bonfires on the beach.

Happy birthday to our very best Thai friend DR. CANDY!

God brought this group of friends together for a special purpose and season in our lives.
(Dr. Candy-front, Carrie-left, Amy Pruett-back, Miss Phemia-middle right, Amber Garsee-far right)

Dr. Candy has been so faithful to 'sow the word of God' into all of our lives through frequent scripture text messages as well as her loving sweet spirit and care of all of us in Thailand. God also used Miss Phemia to speak words of life over all of us last year.

Thank you Jesus for good friends!

Our country-style Thai house

This will be our home sweet home this year coming complete with extra bungalows, a river and kayaks, plus plenty of land for the kids to play and ride their bikes.

May God use this place for us to seek Him!

Smith, our little brother!

Our brother Smith is a man of few words but he can sure act out a story!!! This was taken at the Chiang Mai night safari where Smith was reenacting a dying duck! We just wanted to make sure he had his face on our blog as he is definitely a very important part of our family.

Summer Snow, the next day

What do you think?! Is she cute or what?

Summer's curls

Yard sales, almost unheard of in Thailand, are alot of FUN! Our friend Miss Stephanie gave us some curlers and other games after helping with her garage/moving sale and we tried them out!

Overnight train from Chiang Mai to Hat Yai.

Savannah, Shiloh, Summer, Smith and I definitely had a more relaxing ride through the beautiful country of Thailand leisurely enjoying our lunch and a good night's sleep in our comfy beds with the 'chug, chug' of the train chugging us to sleep. We spent one day in Bangkok visiting Kipp and Anna Lor and their three kids, Josiah, Asia and Levi as they wait for baby #4 to be born within the month. We spent the day at Queen's Park playing with turtles!
