jamie and craig get married!

the last two days we have been happily up to our ears in wedding bliss.

our dear friends jamie and craig got married yesterday and we were all involved.
wade dj'ed, i helped do the flowers, and sophia was a flower girl.
here are some of our friend emily's beautiful photos of the day. we love you all!

sophia and ari

this is sophia and her buddy ari. ari comes to play with us most saturdays and he and sophia really love each other.

sophia got to go to ari's house to play the other day.
here they are wearing mr. potato head's glasses.

the crazy thing is that when ari comes to our house he is the more subdued one (see top photo) and sophia hugs and kisses him and won't leave him alone, and all the pictures from their play date at ari's house show ari smothering soph...pretty funny...

beautiful babe blowing bubbles by the sea

This is one of my favourite recent photos of Sophia. She was blowing bubbles with Wade when we were on the island. The black rubber boots are a favourite of hers, as is the hat, which came from Auntie Kelly and was an immediate hit because it looks like Uncle Ralph's winter hat. She knocks me out, she's so great.

pallisters first e-letter

Here is our first attempt at an e-newsletter, a snapshot of the last year, a brief overview of life and ministry and the scoop on our financials too.

Wade did a great job of designing it, but I cannot figure out how to send this in a small enough way to email it out. I really want to get this out in a timely manner, so I beseech you to take the time to download and read this update of ours.

If you would be so kind as to post a comment here, or email us and let us know you've read our news, we'd be most grateful. Lots of love to you all....

away...

sophia and i are away visiting my mum and dad on the island for the first week wade is in cambodia. we miss him very much and we are so, so happy for him.
we just went for a walk in the sun and the wind. it was an exploring walk with no purpose, yet in one walk i showed sophia about crossing the street to look for cars, how the wind blows your hair and how you can make your shadow dance. she discovered on her own the noise metal manhole covers make when you step on them. it is amazing to get to be the first person who tells someone all the stuff everyone just knows.
