Jonathan 'helping mom' in the office...

 I finally became a Commissioner of Oaths here in Papua New Guinea, which is the same as a notary public in the US and Canada. Now I can help the missionaries here by notarizing important documents for them. Jonathan loves my stamp!

 Playing with his 'office' toys. :)

Counting money in our Petty Cash box!

 And lots of computer work to be done!

 But I always have lots of distractions when Jonathan is playing around. :)

Jacob hard at work!

 Jacob is replacing a security light... lots of things for him to do around the center!

April Happenings...

 A cruise ship docked at the wharf here in Wewak, just for the day!

 We are thinking of asking if we can jump on board when we are due for a trip home. Then we could have a cheaper method of getting to Australia. :)

 Jonathan turned 14 months old in April!!

 Jonathan was very excited to be introduced to the Rubix Cube!

 Jonathan had a playmate for a few weeks, Jeremy, 4 years old. Jeremy and his family live on an island near here where they are ministering to the tribal people.

 Jonathan was happy to show off his dad's four-wheeler to his new friend, Jeremy. :)

Fish Market

 Jacob and Jonathan trying to decide which fish to buy...

Red Emperor fish, very good!

Jonathan goes to the office

 Jonathan puts on his suit, which he isn't quite found of yet, and goes to the office to help mom.

 He does start to enjoy himself.

 And he starts working on the computer, with dad's help. :)

 After thinking and thinking...

Jonathan gets busy using his calculator.

March Happenings...

 All the bush missionaries order their food and supplies from here and our co-worker has to weigh every box to make sure it will fit on the planes! It is also handy to weigh Jonathan .:)  I weigh Jonathan every once in a while on the Supply scale. And he is gaining weight!

 Helping Dad fix the BBQ grill. :)

 Fascinated by the washing machine!

 Helping mom with the laundry. :)

 Playtime... Jonathan loves cars!

 Now Jonathan is walking all over the house!

 He is always holding something in his hand and telling us a story, but we still don't understand anything he is saying. :)

Jonathan is playing with the pumpkin that we just bought at the market. I will cook this up for him to eat. :)

Jonathan's first haircut!

 Jonathan didn't know quite what to think about these scissors being used on his head. :) But he did a pretty good job of letting me cut his hair, at 13 1/2 months old! :)

 He was a bit shy and didn't want to look at the camera after his hair cut. 

Father and Son sporting their new haircuts. :)

Sepik Conference 2014!

 Every year all the missionaries in the Sepik region come to the center here in Wewak for a Conference. There is lots of yummy food, fun, fellowship and encouragement in the Word! There is also a kids carnival, which Jonathan and I enjoyed. :)

 Jacob also had fun at the kids carnival because he got to give rides to lots of kids on his four-wheeler. :)

 The kids all had a great time and kept coming back for more rides. :)

 I was in charge of making sure everyone was fed during the conference. But with lots of help, it wasn't too much work for me during the conference. There was 145 people here on the Center! Including 54 kids! Everyone here on the center had people staying with them so each house cooked breakfasts and lunches for their guests. And each night a different group of people would cook dinner for everyone. I just had to organize the menu and make sure they had the right amount of food for each night.

Jonathan turns 13 months old!

 Time to play on the playground! :)

 Jonathan loves the slide!!
