Thanksgiving with the Singapore Supper Club - 2nd year!

Another wonderful Thanksgiving in Singapore... Thanksgiving 2010 with friends and some of their family members.

We got to spend another thanksgiving feast with some of the supper club friends (2009 here) and the host this year the Harkless' had some family members in town which made it feel a little more like home... we sure did have a good time and some great food... yum yum.

We have so much to be thankful for this year and we talk about that all the time here in our house.. God has really made himself real to us this year and shown us in everything just how he is a God that was and that is and is to come...

We are very grateful for our family and the way that they love on us through the miles.... they never let us forget how we are thought of and loved and that sure does make living in Singapore that much easier.

We are thankful for our church here in Singapore and our friends... both of these pick up us when we are down and walk beside us when we are up... and not a day goes by where we don't remember just how important they are to us here in Singapore our home away from home.

Happy Thanksgiving (I know it is December when I am writing this but better late than never)... we are always thankful.

Brunch with Neighbors...

Brunch with friends...

When we left Singapore in July our neighbors helped us realized that we stayed in Singapore 2.5 years and never went to one of the "famous" brunches...so when we returned we knew this was something we had to do with our friends. Our old neighbors (not by age but by changing locations) set it all up and they are experts so they told us how to do everything... even when to eat and when not to eat... it was awesome and so much fun. We just love this group of people and always enjoy every minute we are together. Here we are at the top of the Swiss Hotel, the Equinox restaurant... have a brunch that started at 10 am and finished at 2pm where we headed to the New Asia Bar across the hall to finish out the afternoon together... can't wait until the next one.

Some fun moments at school...

I got these pics from Pierce's teacher... just some special moments with Pierce while he was at school... I just love seeing his smile...

Gig'em Aggies...

How about them Aggies... Gigem Aggies... WHOOP. Yes even this far from college station, Texas we are still watching us some football... we always love the Aggies but we sure do love them when they are doing good. The slingbox is up and running every weekend.... and especially this past Sunday when A&M played Nebraska... we were watching it live at 8am our time. One of Blake's co-workers (and a friend of mine from the Aggies for Christ...small world) Martin Miller and his dad came to watch the game with us... there is nothing like queso and football at 8am... Pierce even joined in the fun...

WHOOP!

How to love on people far from home...

If you saw this title and thought oh yes I have someone (know someone) that lives far from home and they just might be missing family especially during this holiday season.... and are at a lost on how to love on them... you have come to right place... it is easy... send them something in the mail... does not have to be big and does not have to be anything other than a card... but unless you know how it feels to come home and open up your mailbox and see a card or package from a loved one so far away... you will never understand just how SPECIAL it is...

Just over the past couple of weeks our mailman has delivered these...

A homemade wreath made out of pages of the bible from Auntie Elly and Uncle Keith... oh how it has made its mark in our home...

Pierce even got a bat...

We love the gifts but they probably have no idea just how special the paper wrapping was... ads from the states... our helper could not believe just now cheap things were in Texas... can you really get bread 2 for $1.... yes that is right...

When the buzzer rings during the day it is music to all of our ears... we all jump up and say "who is that"... and that is exactly what we did when this package came from Aunt JuJu and Uncle KW. My first and only Thanksgiving Holiday Decor... and we have 2 thanksgiving parties to go to this year... it will go to good use.

Pierce is never left out... he got some gummies....

And this awesome crocodile that is really small but when it sits in water for 14 days it grows really big... check it out... see how small it is but see how happy this boy is...

"how big is it going to get Pierce" ask mommy... "This Big" says Pierce.

And he was right... after 14 days... here is our pet crocodile... and it has been out of water for 5 days and is still this big... wow wee...

Think of someone right now to send something special too... and do it... hurry don't wait it will make their day.

Speechless Sunday!

Look at all those blue eyes...

Moments with Pierce....

Some great moments with our little man...
He ran out of my room one morning wearing this...

We still really like to dance... especially on mommy and daddy's bed probably bc the first time he did I was worried about the pillows with the beads and made a big deal about it and now it is his mission to jump on our bed... so now I am trying to be cool about it.


This is not so much a funny but just proof of how much he is spoiled. Here Tita (aka Mary) has made him homemade sushi, steamed broccoli and a fresh fruit smoothie for dinner.... SPOILED and he loves every minute of it...

More to come I am sure...
