houseguests!

It’s been awhile since we’ve had familial visitors, so we were pretty excited to have my parents come for a visit last month!

We spent a couple days in Chiang Mai at the beginning, which included visiting the 3D Art Museum–the most cultural  experience we could give them! It’s an entire museum of art painted to look 3D, and generally designed to be turned into one selfie after another.

We then headed to Mae Sot for a week, so my parents could have a glimpse into our chaos. They were able to be there for our September OneHouse worship night, as well as trip to the tea shop on the house, baking bread and making Flour & Flower deliveries, and our weekly house church. And per usual, we had some house calls mixed in there, too.

We snapped a few photos of the beautiful flowers we delivered, including two beautiful pregnant mothers! This is Pyo Pyo & Nyein Nyein, who bake & sale bread each week.

And Daw Ma Oo, who sells flowers. This is my favorite picture of her to date.

We also baked a cake to celebrate Yedi’s tenth birthday! It was a sweet little party, which included Yedi feeding each of us the first bites of cake. {Welcome to the community, Mom & Dad! Let’s all share a spoon.}
We climbed (and fell down) the waterfalls around Mae Sot one day. It was both beautiful and hilarious!

And toward the end, we headed off to Bangkok for a couple days. We mostly wandered through busy streets and malls finding delicious food, drinking well-roasted coffee, and playing Euchre. And as the author of this blog, I think it’s safe to say there is no need to record who won the tournament. 😉

We also made an epic trip to Ikea, which none of us had ever visited before. It is truly nothing short of epic.

Thanks for making the trek, Mom & Dad! That flight isn’t for the faint of heart, and neither is our squatty potty 🙂
