Family Camping Weekend

The sign says it all, "Departures."

This weekend my mom's family, the Oldham's) are getting together at my Aunt Sue and Uncle Jack's for a camping weekend. I'm sure it will be fun. We miss you all and hope you have a wonderful weekend. Here are some pictures of some of the times we spent with you all.

Here are Aidan and Eli with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Oldham.

Elianna

For friends and family I just want to catch you up on our kids. For you others hope you enjoy. Aidan is 5 and currently enjoys catching creatures. He got a bug net and a creature cage for his birthday. They have already seen some pretty good wear in the first month. Currently the cage contains a medium size toad and a skink, a type of lizard. The only problem is that he isn't good at feeding his critters so when they seem like they're looking dead he'll release them. Elianna is for the most part pretty happy to tag along with her big brother. She's seems to be an animal lover and wants to touch the animals, even the icky mangy dogs here!:) We do have a kitty which is named Jack and the kids are working on taming it. They have a lot of room to roam here and are loving playing outside. I just have to get used to the fact that they'll be dirty all the time. Except for right after bathtime. Ok, so now for the pictures.:)

Some of them are from our time in the states.

Our Family

For those of you who haven't seen us in a while, he's a fairly recent picture of our family. It was taken at Easter when we were in Pennsylvania. Aidan is now 5 years old and Elianna is 2 years old. I'm not sure why the picture is a bit grainy.

More House Renovations

Here are the rain pictures I tried to upload the other day. We've been having rain every couple days. Sometimes it's during the day and sometimes at night. It's fun to see green grass and things sprouting up everywhere.
We're hoping to plant a garden, maybe this week we will get it done!

We are also getting closer to moving into our house. We're so thankful for the help of Norm and Debra Copeland. They are visiting Guinea and planning to come here as missionaries in a couple years. Norm helped Pete this past week put up the ceiling.
Tommorow a painter is coming to paint the ceiling and the walls! Yah! I can't wait. After that we have some electrical work, wiring and setting up our 12V solar system. Hopefully we'll be able to move in in about two weeks.
