summary of the month - Jan

at long last the younger two started school after being at home for 7 months!
and yes, we moved into our new apartment, lived through all the noise, dust and mess while the construction of the kitchen and bathrooms were going on...














the highlight of the month was when the Kanekos flew in for a short visit.


















and the aparments in the neighborhood has a face lift too; these days i've been unpacking all the boxes and feel like i'm home at last!

summary of the month - Dec 06

the highlight of the month was the 5 days 4 nights Youth Camp, it was a privilege to get a glimpse into the hearts of these precious bunch.
the young people also put up a wonderful Christmas Musical on Christmas eve, retelling the birth of Christ.

we ended the year at Paterson with a feast on the eve of the new year's eve,
and we had a rather big turkey too!

Lukas took this picture,

long time no see

but a box of legos reconnected the boys and rekindle old ties.
yes, the Kanekos arrived with their four beautiful boys,
and we sure glad to have them!

new home and new neighborhood

we've been busy this week, cleaning up the apartment so we can move in next week.
can you imaging we live right next to a real river, a muddy river but with all the natural habitat.
a ten minutes walk right around the bend is the pony ride, and a great park where my boys used to bike around when they were little.
best of all the beach is just another few minutes walk away!!!

beautiful feet

talk about good bye, i often wonder what's the good part?
jc said something like this:
we learn about God's heart,
and taste a little of His pain of our seperation from Him.
that was certainly a view from above!
so no goodbye but "see you later".
