Gramma and Grandpa time!!!

We are so thankful that my parents are here for a visit! We've been anticipating this visit for a while now. When we left Canada 7 months ago, Cody had just started talking (no sentences yet) and Makai had just started smiling.... now we have an extremely chatty two-year-old and a very giggly/happy (and busy!) 9-month-old. Gramma and Grandpa are soaking in all the sweetness from these two little boys they've been missing.

We had a meaningful evening with our Peace Church group Saturday night and it was very special for us that we could introduce Mom and Dad to our friends here. On Sunday we went to Tagaytay.... a town on a crater with a view of a beautiful lake in the middle of the volcano and another volcano in the middle of the lake with a lake in the middle of it! Confusing, I know... but so picturesque! We had a lovely brunch with an amazing view.




Gramma and Granpa have been busy playing with the boys. Cody can get them to do just about anything..... 



We rented a suite for Mom and Dad so they could have some comfortable space to themselves (we don't have a spare bedroom). Their suite is in the same complex as us, just the next building over. This is the view from their room...



This morning my Dad and Darnell headed to Mindanao. They will spend 5 days there with Peacebuilders Community and will be part of a relief operation (the fifth wave) to deliver food to 2,000 families affected by the recent devastation of Typhoon Pablo. Please pray for them as they travel, visit with dear friends (Dann and Joji Pantoja and many others) and serve people affected by the typhoon.
