Christmas is coming!
This year, Christmas feels so strange to us. We have no immediate family near us, nor are we going to see any family for Christmas. We see no snow. Its NOT cold… (although it does feel cool compared to the hot season! What a relief!!!) Its not rainy. We don’t hear Christmas music… on the [...]
Some one is TWO!
Emmaus turned two on Thanksgiving day! Its hard to believe he is already 2! His birthday was on Thanksgiving day, which was a full day of classes, studying and then a potluck dinner. So we decided to celebrate the day before. When the boys got home from school, we had Emmaus’ presents out waiting for [...]
The Rock Beach
Check out these pictures from one of our new favourite places! Please pray for our new friends at the “Rock Beach” as Canaan calls it. We pray that through our love and friendship they would get a glimpse of the love from the one true God!
Getting better!
Thank you for your prayers! Emmaus is on the road to recovery. He is not on antibiotics and seems to be slowly getting better! Praise Jesus! He was tested for malaria just to be sure and it was negative! He is still grumpy and coughing but we can tell he is slowly getting better. His [...]
Emmaus is sick
Please pray for health in our family! Emmaus has been battling a fever for about 5 days now. He has a bad cold or flu with lots of congestion, coughing and a runny nose. Poor little guy is miserable! Canaan has had some sniffles on and off but not too bad. I have had a [...]
From above!
Its amazing how peaceful our city looks from above! What a difference it is on street level! What a difference! Wednesday, Norm and I went out looking for a geocache. Our first here in Dakar! =) We hike to the top of a big hill to a lighthouse and we had such a great view! [...]
School!
Hey All! Thanks so much for praying for us and the boys. They have been to school six days now. They are starting their second full week in the morning. The first two days of school, Canaan was ecstatic and Emmaus was freaked out! Emmaus would cry and cry getting onto the bus and his teachers would [...]
The kids are starting school!
Much to our surprise, God led us to a bilingual private school here in Dakar. We were not planning on sending the kids to school this year. But he has been showing us that with our French studies and with living in an apartment on the 4th floor, the kids were needing more! They need [...]
Waking up!
Lord bless our children! They tend to be sleep in type kids. Usually. Saturday morning we had a meeting at the mission… and we had to be there by 9. We decided at 8:30 it was about time we go in a force the kids out of bed. Granted… they usually get up around 8, [...]
Pastèque
Today we went to a local “fruit market.” We bought a bunch of great stuff, grapefruit, mandarine oranges, mangoes, bananas and a watermelon (or pastèque). We were pretty sure the watermelon would be a hit with the kids… here are a few pictures and videos to prove! I love it when cameras catch funny faces! [...]
