It's always such a blessing to have people come visit us here in the Middle East! We haven't had a lot of visitors and we would love to have more...hint, hint! The times that we have had visitors have really been a blessing!
Over the years we've had some visitors for the day and some that stayed the night. John & Denise came to visit us for the day when they had to do a one day visa hop.
We have lots of great memories from the visits we've had. I wish I had taken more pictures of our visitors...some people I don't have their pictures.
John & Ginger were our first visitors when we were in language school! We had so much fun laughing with them. Ginger was pregnant with their first baby, but we didn't have any other kids around. What a different time that was for our two families!! Fun memories!
Early in 2008 my parents came to visit. That was also before kids. We did all sorts of things with them! We traveled to Dubai and Muscat. We had lots of fun with them!
Soon after Jojo came to be in our family, Josiah and Victoria came to visit! We had some fun play dates with the three babies!
Josiah came another time when we lived in Dubai! Joseph and Josiah have both been called Jojo and both of them go by Yusef in Arabic!
This picture was taken at Joseph's first birthday party. Amanda and Rachel were there. Eli was only a couple months old then.
We have lots of fun memories with Travis and Amanda visiting us!
One time the Brenemans came through Dubai and so we got to hang out with them. Here's a cute picture of tiny Jojo and little Jared. Why do they have to get so big?? Things sure have changed!
Baby Eli came to visit a few times. If I recall correctly, he was almost born at our house in Dubai....we had a scary night one time before Eli was born and his parents were staying at our house.
Keith came to stay with us too! It was fun to have him!
I like this picture because you can see how the
Burj Khalifa was not completed yet...so cool!
Ellen visited us at several of our different homes! She was so sweet to Joseph...we miss her. I think she liked Joseph so much that she wanted to be around more Africans. Now she lives in Africa! :)
There were many times that Paula would come up and we'd meet at a mall in Dubai! I miss Paula and Elizabeth!
Dave and Sara came to visit not long after we got back with Faith. Joseph loves Dave!! I don't know a kid who doesn't love him! I've been so excited to hear about his daughter going through the adoption process...he and Sara will make wonderful grandparents!
Elizabeth Starkey came to visit and it was such a blessing to have her!! We got to take her around to see our island. It was fun to do some tourist type things that we usually don't get to do!
In March 2010 Tim's parents came to stay with us. They were here for 3 weeks. We had a lot of fun. We went to Dubai with them too and they got to meet some of our friends.
Raley and her parents, Marcus & Paula, came to the Island last September. There sure was a lot of little kids around. :) Faith and Raley are very close in age...they'd be great friends if only we lived closer.
Just a few weeks ago Gary & Judy came to visit! It was fun to connect with them again! :)
