Cleaning, Relaxing and Dress-Up

Learning how to use the Norwex dusting mitt.

Naomi is now a cleaner! She is dusting her rocking chair. :)

Relaxing with dad, watching a movie. :)

And now Jonathan is learning how to go under water... so he loves to try out his gear. :)

Jonathan the train conductor, a new costume give to him by our co-workers.

Resting with dad.

Doing a little coloring.

Watching a little tv together.


Yum! Someone mailed us a package with goldfish inside! Jonathan's favorite!

And the outside play continues!


Naomi has discovered her love for dirt and rocks! She can spend a lot of time playing, looking and moving dirt and rocks!



And Jonathan loves rope swings!

Naomi now has her own bike, although she can't reach the pedals so I pull her around with a rope. :)

And Jonathan has tried to pull her around too. :)

Now he can ride his big boy bike!

A nice hairdoo after taking off his mask and hat - now he is full of sweat!

A kiss for Grandma, Grandpa, Nannie and Poppie at home. :)

Ready for anything!

Playing with rocks in her Sunday dress too. :)

All tired out from all his running around outside!

Jonathan loves to play with Annabelle, another missionary kid here at New Tribes.

Boat Ride!

One afternoon Jacob came home and asked Jonathan if he wanted to go on a boat ride! The missionaries to Biem Island had just fixed the motor on their boat and they needed to give it a test drive before heading 80 miles off shore to their island. Jonathan was excited!!
This is his friend Jeremy who lived on Biem Island with his family.


And Jonathan was so excited to drive the boat all by himself!

Going to the Dentist...

After making our appointments many months a head of time, Jonathan, Naomi and I loaded up, traveling with another family to our mission headquarters for our dentist appointments.

Jonathan was quite excited about our plane flight and three day adventure to the dentist in the 'cold' mountains. :) Naomi wasn't sure what to think! I think she missed her father. :)

But eventually she slept. :)


Jonathan got to practice brushing teeth with a dinosaur puppet with large teeth, fun!


Both children enjoyed the sand box at the playground there!

Jonathan and Naomi went to visit a friend and her sons while I was at the dentist. Jonathan loved it and they all played with legos and spinners!

Naomi was not happy at all.. she cried and cried and finally fell asleep on Stephen. Poor girl!

She didn't think much of this experience away from mom, but she did stop crying!

On our way back to Wewak we were with a missionary couple moving from one town to another... and this is all of their things heading to their new home! Two plane loads of things and a few extra people. :)

While we waited the kids played in the dirt and rocks, Naomi loves it!

And Jonathan found a new friend to read to him! She came to Wewak to visit her best friend!

Some of the sights while flying home to Wewak.


Volcano erupting on the island 65 miles away from Wewak...

Sleeping on the plane...

Almost there and time to see Dad again!

Interesting sights in Wewak..

The white clouds in the distance is a volcano erupting, 65 miles away. This was the only day we could see it erupt... a very clear day! Everyone was evacuated off of the island and is safe!

Just outside our back door we have this view... and for a few days there was a curious eagle sitting on the roof of the security lights so close to our porch looking right at us!!

Christmas toys and packages continue!

Jacob is helping Jonathan put together a Lego set he got for Christmas, fun!

Jonathan put most of it together on his own!

My sister sent a package which arrived the first week of January! He loved the wrapping paper!

No, I AM NOT a Green Bay fan, but my sister and her husband are... hence the apron, GO PATRIOTS!


Jonathan's new Spiderman mask, he loves it!

Happy New Year from Papua New Guinea!

 Jacob and I played games on New Years! Carcassonne! It has been a long time since we played games... and I managed to win both games!!

We watched fireworks for a few hours all around the coast... although it was quite difficult to get on camera! It was a beautiful unplanned show!! :)
