Family time w/ Tim's Parents

When Tim's parents mentioned that they wanted to come visit us in 2013 we told them that Christmas time would be a great time! For one thing the weather isn't hot then. For another thing Christmas feels so different over here and it's a harder time to be without family. So, it was decided and the flights were booked! We couldn't wait for them to arrive!!

Karla's Visit

This week Tim's sister, Karla, came to visit from Colorado. She brought her two kiddos, but her husband had to stay home for work. It was SO GREAT for the cousins to play together! We're so glad she came!

I hope you enjoy all the fun pictures of our time with them!

Grandma & Grampa visit

We decided that we wouldn't travel around while we're on vacation this time. So, my parents (aka: Grandma &  Grampa) came to visit for our first week. It was a fun time!!

They spoiled their grandkids and made lots of memories! We're so thankful that they came down to Albuquerque to spend time with us!

Our Teenagers

Megan and Jared stayed with us for a few weeks while their parents were in the States. These weeks flew by and I am sad to see them go home now! They leave us tomorrow morning.

I have to admit that I was a little nervous about having teenagers in the house again. (The last time we had teenagers was when the Groves were here.) I don't feel like I'm cool enough for teenagers because I don't understand their language. But Jared and Megan were kind enough to help me out! They used words that I don't typically say. Here are some of the words that I heard from them every day: oh snap, epic, awkward, fail, skyrim, mine craft, trolling, totes, bubbs, broski, chill, hipster and cool story bro. They had fun helping me come up with this list. They also laughed at me trying to use them correctly! haha!!

A week with the Groves Family!

We were very blessed to have our good friends come visit us last week! Dennis & Shannon brought their four kids with them!

It was so encouraging to introduce them to our Arab friends and show them around our island! Their faith and trust in God is also an encouragement to us!

I'm thankful for visitors

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.
