Our New Apartment!

 Front of our new apartment...to the right are three more apartments.

 Love the porch swing!

 Our Kitchen... when we arrived our stove from Interface was there! So nice! Jonathan loves to hang out in his chair. :)

 Right now, all of our furniture and house hold items are in Goroka, except for our stove and washing machine. So our house looks a little empty. The kitchen table has become one big desk for our computers.


 Our living room.


 Jonathan's room... so nice that he has his own room now!!

 Our room... no need for any blankets, just one sheet will do. It is very hot here!

 Yes, we do have toilets that flush, running water and a shower. :)

 Our porch, so nice! I'm so thankful to have my own washing machine here already because I wash cloth diapers every day! Jonathan goes through the diapers so fast but they take a while to dry in this humidity!


 Our porch is the one on top... a view from the other base.

 Normally we eat our meals on the porch. We have a nice breeze and a beautiful view!


Wewak life...

 The Sunrise - view from our back porch!
 We can also see the runway in town from our porch... one of these days we will get a picture of the plane flying over us. :)

 Jonathan loves his jolly jumper!
 He loves to sit and watch me cut fruit and veggies and get meals ready. :)

 But he doesn't like sitting in his chair when he has a dirty diaper. He tries to flip out of it.... scary!

 Many of our Interface co-workers enjoyed hanging out with Jonathan. :) ...Travis and Nikki

 Bobbi, did a good job of putting Jonathan to sleep after this... he was sooo tired!

 Nate enjoys playing with Jonathan too.

 He sleeps in strange positions sometimes. :)


 Meta came to help me by rolling out some tortillas for the Interface team. She enjoyed holding Jonathan too!

 Making pancakes with dad.

We try to give Jonathan some pool time every day!

 He loves the water!

Wewak Interface staff with all our kids!

Surprise visit from Julie!

 Julie, our former Interface co-worker, is working a bit at Lapilo until she leaves on July 3rd. When we decided to fly straight to Wewak because my visa took so long, I was very sad that we would not get to see Julie before she left PNG. But I was wrong! Julie surprised us with a visit for a few days!

 We enjoyed going out to lunch with her.

 And to the fish market... later we had her over for dinner and cooked up our fish, Red Emperor, yum!

Jonathan didn't know what to think about the fish market....

Hanging out with family...

 Hanging out at Nannie and Poppie's cottage on Beaver Dam Lake to celebrate Jacob's birthday... turning 30!! And Nannie's birthday as well!! And it just happened to be the day that Jonathan turned four months old too!

The kids had lots of fun in the pool!

 And the adults enjoyed watching them because the water was very cold! :)

 Lots of yummy food!


 Jonathan's second cousin, Evan

 Lots of pictures of the babies...

 Jonathan's first time in shorts and sitting on grass... hard to tell what he thought about it all...

 A little bit of fishing.

 Jacob, in the background, sweating about the fact that he just turned 30!

 Jonathan's second cousin, Quinn.

Such a beautiful warm sunny day at the Lake!

At the beach in Nova Scotia...

 Ready to head to the beach...

 We think he likes it... although its a little chilly...

Looking out on the ocean to see dory rowing, a famous Nova Scotia past time.

 He seems pretty amazed!


 A close up look at the ocean.


He loved it, until a wave splashed and a few drops hit his face. Poor Jonathan!
