Friends and Farewells

This weekend Tes had a going away party, since she too will be leaving Kuwait in a few weeks. We are very excited that she is coming with our family to Jordan, and she has been such a blessing to our family. She spent most of the morning preparing some delicious Philippino food for all of her friends.
I prepared some appetizers, and we ended up with a nice spread of food.
She has been in Kuwait for 5 years, and she has lots of friends from church, the Embassy, and neighborhood.
Tes is lucky to have one of her sisters in Kuwait as well, and they are very close. 
Her Embassy friends were happy to see Caleb and Benjamin. Ben is always up for cuddles.
When we first moved to Kuwait, Rozelle watched our boys initially. Benjamin was only 7 months old and just starting to sit up, and Caleb wasn't even 2 years old.  They sure have changed and grown a lot since we first arrived!
A special visitor was Tes's church Pastor and his wife. Tes has been very active with her church during her time in Kuwait. She has a wonderful church family, and we are thankful they could come over to spend time with Tes.
Pastor Tony and his wife Rose.
The boys had some friends to play with during the evening, and they all played so nicely. At one point there was some music playing with Nathan on the guitar and Zoey playing the harmonica.
Caleb was a super hero and the boys had fun horsing around.
We are very thankful for Tes, and for the love that she has for our family.
It was a fun evening had by all!

Thank you Tes for loving our family the way that you have. We are so grateful it is not "good-bye", but only see you in the fall :)

What a beautiful person inside and out! There will be 4 people + one cat waiting for you in Jordan.
Safe travels for all 5! Love you all.
