These pictures are literally 3 months late but I wanted to post them anyway. Our dear friend <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rae-of-Light-Photography/215112071862149">Rae</a> took Callie's 2 year photos for us just after her birthday and I think she did a great job. Enjoy...</div>

Almost a month since I last posted. Sorry about that. Life has been full and to be honest, I hate posting <i>without</i> pictures and seeing as our computer hasn't been letting me upload pictures to blogger lately (still trying to figure out why), I haven't felt motivated to write.<br />
<br />
But.... I thought I'd just let you know that we are leaving for Thailand VERY soon! Our flights have been booked and we're set to leave on <b>October 13th</b>! Just over 2.5 weeks away! <br />
<br />
People have been asking how we're feeling about this. If I'm completely honest with you, <i><b>I've never felt so torn in all my life</b></i>. We're feeling so ready to get going and are excited to get to Thailand. But there are also a lot of TOUGH goodbyes that are to come first. And lots of tough transitions ahead of us. <br />
So... we're excited for departure but also grieving all of the incredible family and friends we're leaving behind. Its actually kind of hard to put into words. <br />
<br />
Anyway, we head into Vancouver tomorrow morning to drop off our visa paperwork at the Thai consulate. If you think of it, we'd appreciate your prayers. We don't have a lot of time left to get this all sorted out so we'd covet your prayers for a speedy visa process with little to no hassle (preferably).<br />
<br />
And I promise I'll try to have a more 'aesthetically pleasing' blog post next time around :) Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00472538310537538895noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30809223.post-18551423845596290692011-08-25T21:38:00.000-07:002011-08-25T21:38:57.095-07:00Or should I say $1.25?<div style="text-align: center;">

This post is a few weeks late but I wanted to give a shout out to my dear sweet Gin anyway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a belated birthday gift/going-away gift, my dearest Ginny took me for a day at the spa. Let's just say there's a reason I entitled this post "a little taste of heaven." That is exactly what the day was!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She could not have planned a more perfect day. Ginny arrived at my door with a Caramel Macchiato (my favorite!) and then we made our way to "The Gallery Spa." Neither of us had ever been there before but we would DEFINITELY recommend it! Its absolutely GORGEOUS and the treatments were to die for! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our spa experience started with the "eucalyptus steam room." I'll admit... we didn't utilize the steam room for very long. That mist/humidity is IN-tense. But it was definitely refreshing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Next up... hour long relaxation massages &amp; facials. All I can say is AAAAAAAAMAZING. Seriously the most relaxing hour &amp; a half of my life! Obviously, I don't have any pictures of that part but it was incredible. The entire time I was lying there, I couldn't help but think, "I am so undeserving of this! This is too good to be true!"<br />
<br />
Then it was off for our pedicures. There are about a billion colors to choose from. In the end, we both chose the same one. True besties form. :)<br />

After our incredible morning/afternoon at the spa, we made our way down to Bellingham for some shopping. I had saved my birthday money just for the occasion and was very pleased with the couple of purchases I made. <br />
We finished the day with popcorn and candy from Target and great conversation on the drive home. All in all, the perfect day. Thanks again Gin. You're the bestest :) Love you SO much.Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00472538310537538895noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30809223.post-30413901440759317612011-08-12T15:49:00.000-07:002011-08-12T15:49:42.105-07:00Poser...Most of the time, I have to force Callie to have her picture taken and there is rarely a smile to go with it. But for some reason today, as I was walking around the house taking pictures of furniture that we'll be selling, Callie started pestering me to take her picture. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over and over she kept saying, "Tate my pitcher Mommy, tate MY pitcher!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alright little Miss cuteness, I'll take your picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So she promptly lay down on the floor and gave me this face:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I had snapped the photo, she started yelling, "MORE! More pitchers Mommy!"</div>

If I had to pick ONE of Callie's most recent summer highlights, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it would probably be the new splash park that opened up, just 5 minutes from our house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think we were there 4 out of 5 days last week. :) </div>

What I love about the splash park is that no matter where you're sitting (on the lush green grass), you can see your child. Its a great layout for keeping an eye on your kids.</div>

<br />
We spent our long weekend in Jon's old stomping grounds-- Prince George. His mom's side of the family has a reunion every 2 years and this year his Aunt Charlotte hosted it at Vivian Lake, just outside of PG. Unfortunately, the weather was mostly rainy & cold (apart from some sun on Sunday), but it was still nice to have time at the lake and catch up with family members we haven't seen in a couple of years.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were pretty excited to take Callie for a canoe ride...</div>

Its been a really incredible time of learning, being part of an amazing team, being stretched, learning flexibility and all in all, experiencing God's goodness & provision. But we're also really excited to be finished this chapter and moving on with the next steps for our family.<br />
<br />
So... to start off the post, I'll give you a quick recap of life as of late.<br />
<br />
Father's Day celebrations were awesome. We celebrated with my family on Saturday evening. The festivities started with peeling peas for dinner... although I'm pretty sure Callie ate more than she put in the bowl.<br />

On Sunday, we joined the rest of the Esau clan at Uncle Jake & Auntie Lori's for the annual Father's Day pool party. This is always our favorite Esau family gathering. Its always so relaxing and fun to be able to swim in their pool. I wasn't sure what Callie would think of it, considering it wasn't warm that day. But Uncle Jake had warmed the pool up to 88 degrees so it was really more like a warm bath :)<br />

Last week was incredibly busy. We had something up every single evening. Monday night we celebrated my nephew Konrad's 7th birthday. Tuesday I had Callie's long-awaited allergist appt. in Vancouver (much to my disappointment, she IS allergic to peanuts and all other nuts. Epi pen is officially in the diaper bag at all times. Life changer for sure... but that's a whole 'nother story :)) and then Tuesday evening, we met our dear friends, the <a href="http://happyreimers.blogspot.com/">Reimers</a>, at Mill Lake for some park time and dessert. It was a gorgeous day and the splash park was up and running. I didn't think to take Callie's bathing suit so after some begging, and Corina offering one of their towels, I finally gave in and let Callie run around in her clothes. You honestly would have thought she had won the lottery! She squealed and screamed in delight as she splashed in the puddles and ran under the shower heads, fully clothed. She looked like a drowned rat by the time she was finished but it was so worth it. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it.<br />
<br />
The only dry clothes we had for her were her pj's so she borrowed some of Chase's clothes. She looked like a little tom-boy all dressed in army green :) Here she is, playing catch with "Auntie" Corina...<br />

The Reimers are going to be doing MTE training with MB Mission this fall and will join us in Thailand after that. We're excited to have another young family joining us there and can't wait to be 'family' with them! <br />

On Wednesday night, we were invited to the <a href="http://heywoodsgowest.blogspot.com/">Heywood's</a> for dinner. Dave & Sarah are new to Chilliwack and Dave will be starting the residency program here next week. They have 2 sweet girls named Kara & Emily and we had an awesome evening with them. Thanks again for the yummy food and great conversation guys! We look forward to getting to know you more over the next few months!<br />
<br />
Thursday night was our church's annual "Volunteer Appreciation" dinner. Seeing as we're still interns at church, we got roped into helping with the decor for the evening's event. The theme was "tailgate party" and it actually ended up being pretty fun to put together. We got some truck boxes to put at the front of the gym, complete with lawn chairs & coolers, Jon and I painted a mural of a famous baseball stadium scoreboard and we finished the tables with some cute 'tailgate party' sports items...<br />

Woohoo!<br />
I'm pretty sure I only have a few minutes before Callie wakes up from her nap so I'll just post a few of my latest pictures (even though they're over a month old and most of them were taken on my iPod Touch).<br />
I have to say... its sad how few pictures I take these days. I used to have my camera on me at ALL TIMES when Callie was first born. Now I am lucky if I remember it at all. So although the pictures are few & far between, it doesn't mean 'the kid' isn't growing and getting cuter every day :)<br />
