Joshua's First Day of School


This is a picture of Joshua's first official day of school. He has been going for almost a month now. He is doing so well and adjusting to a new and different enviroment. He continues to be a light. The other day, it was so sweet, he wanted to take the Word to school. He said he wanted to tell his friends about the Father. One little funny story: at his school they sing some songs in english and he comes home singing them but with the same accent the nationals sing them, ha ha! And it's also hilarious to hear try to pronounce his friends names! It's been a really unique and fun experience.

Trip to Paradise


Our last break from language school we went to the beach about 5 hrs drive away. Not the best drive, ok, it was terrible, Caleb ended up throwing up in the car. Fun stuff! It was the first time we had ever driven through the mountains to get to the beach, we actually never got out of the mountains. Here the mountains were on the beach. A little ironic, but beautiful. Anyhow, we made it and it was an incredible place. Different from any other place we've been to the beach. Pretty remote. In addition to stopping at the fish market, we brought all our food with us b/c there's no major store anywhere near. Each hut has a man that cooks the meals and cleans. True vacation! He cleaned and cooked our fish for us and it was obvious he had done it quite a few times b/c our meals were incredible. Everything cooked on a concrete grill. No oven. He served the whole fish, head and everything and we just picked on it through out the meal. It was really the coolest experience. There was nothing to do but go on the beach (although it was kinda funny, I can see why surfers come here b/c the waves were so huge we couldn't even swim in the ocean!) or to the pool, and just relax. The boys absolutely loved it. We were so grateful to the Father to have been able to go to a place like that and like I said, truly vacation.

Our Little Fishermen





We went to the beach a couple of weeks ago and on our way to the beach we stopped by the fish market to buy some fish to cook while at the beach. It was one the craziest sites we've seen or experienced since we've been here. They men were going nuts over our boys and ofcourse not thinking twice about handing them fish to hold. A little scary for a mom. The boys were loving it! We just put a lot of hand sanitizer on afterwards. It was a really unique experience to say the least but hey, we got some really good fish for a really good deal! We'll share more about the beach trip later.

Bathtime Boys

They're just having fun and being sweet after a bath together. Life is so much fun and entertaining with such great kids!

Trying To Be Like Big Brother


What's Behind the Racket?


Joshua has gotten serious with the game of Badminton.

Birds of a Feather

Is That Safe?


Not quite sure what we are thinking but a friend has loaned me this "Harley" and the boys love to go for a spin with Dad. They learn how to take turns (one cries while the other one rides) and Dad takes them on a big adventure (usually down the street and back)! Joshua took a loooong ride the other day and he swears we went to the "Jungle". On a serious note, lift up this week as I attempt to get a liscense here so that if and when i get pulled over they wont toss me in the dungen!
