We love the Sexton's

Josh, Silas and I just returned from visiting the Sexton's in Saskatoon. Josh and Riley met at Canadian Bible College in Regina. As a young punk first attending CBC, Josh never figured he would ever live in Saskatchewan or want to visit it after graduation. But we are so blessed by Riley and Candra's friendship and so privileged to be Gabriella's godparents (their eldest daughter), that as long as they are in Saskatchewan, we will be making appearances there too!



Silas had a fantastic weekend. Going up and down the staircase may have been his highlight, but he also could not get enough of Ella and Malachi (Eve at six months old was not quite old enough to be interesting to him, I guess). He loved following the kids around and they were wonderful about not getting frustrated as he destroyed every train track Malachi made and every tea party Ella hosted.

Riley and Candra, you are an awesome couple and an awesome couple of parents. You truly love us well. Thank you.



God reminded us this weekend that He has introduced us to some pretty cool people in our lives (among them, the Sexton's and Lauren, Seth, Andrea and Zoey who visited us at the Calgary airport during our stopover from Saskatoon to Kelowna, all our Alberta Pioneer buds and the community of supportive pals and family that has developed for us here in Vernon)- people who really know us, care for us and support us. Thank you all for a soul rejuvenating weekend.

I would love to meet them someday. Maybe at Silas' highschool grad in 16 years!
