Pokemon at the Mall

 Phil took John and his friend to the mall to see all of the Pokemon decorations. The boys had a good time looking for all of the creatures in the mall. 

New Visas

 We were able to get new visas for another year. We are so thankful for the Lord allowing this as there are many families right now that are having problems obtaining visas for their whole family. 

Anna's High School Dance

 Anna was able to attend the high school dance. She went to a friend's house to get ready, have dinner, and then they all went together. Anna said it was a fun night with her friends. 

Kate's Choir Mini-Concert

 The middle school choir that Kate is a part of had a mini-concert where they sang four songs and invited parents and some other middle school students to come watch. I (Rachel) played for the choir. Kate was able to play the drum for one of the songs. The four songs were Yonder Come Day, Whisper, How Doth the Little Crocodile, and Go Down, Moses. 

Decorating for Christmas 2023

 Our Christmas last year was pretty sad (because we were packing to leave and were alone on Christmas day), so we decided to decorate early this year.
