Near the end of October, Philip, Stephanie, Shelby and Auntie Joyce came to see us. This was such a special visit since it was not too long ago that Melissa and I used to make the trek up to visit Aaron & Chantale and their kids Philip, Stephanie and Lucas. When I started making those trips, Philip was about the same age as Abby is now and now he was coming to visit us with his brand new baby daughter 🙂

On Friday evening, Uncle Shawn came out with with Violet and Uncle Keith and Auntie Linda also came out for a visit and to meet Shelby and visit with everyone.

On Saturday, Melissa and all of them went for lovely walk and visit to Lang Pioneer village, while I waited for the arrival of our new dining room table.

In the evening, we had a family dinner that with Bruce & Jackie and my Mom & Dad. It was the first of many big family dinners at our new table in our new house!!!

They headed out on Sunday after breakfast, but not before we got our pictures with Auntie Joyce in front of our house, just like we have done every time that we have visited her at her house.
