Our Three Precious Gifts

The boys are doing great with Jedidiah! They love him so much already. It's funny, we have to remind Caleb his name is Jedidiah because he usually just calls him "baby".

Jedidiah Is Here!!

Our newest arrival Jedidiah Lee Lanford was born Thursday Sept. 11th at 1am. He weighs 7lb. 3 oz. and 20 1/2 in. long. He is healthy and beautiful. The labor and delivery went smooth. He and Candace are doing really well. We can't believe we are a family of 5! We feel so blessed! Thank you all for lifting us up during this time.

Cicak Pajamas

Joshua and Caleb are sporting their new pajamas their aunt Erica sent them. They love them so much because they have the same thing on them that are always crawling on our walls, Lizards, better known as Cicak. They even have a cicak song they sing all the time. As many as they've seen on our walls they get excited everytime. So they love their new pajamas to say the least.

Trying to Look Like Mama

The boys were always fascinated with my big belly. They found quite funny trying to look like me, ha ha!

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.
