Hanging out with Dad!

Jonathan and Jacob built this car together!

Jonathan was very excited about it!

Hammock time!

Checking out the drain dad built in the rain, to see if it is working properly, that is. :)

Relaxing in the pool with Dad and friends!

Enjoying cookies and milk, relaxing on the porch.

Time to draw with Dad!

Grandma Came in a Box!

We were all very sad that Grandma couldn't come to Brisbane and see us when we were there for Naomi's annual MRI and medical check up. But we were happy that she was able to send a box of fun things to us! We were thankful that even though the box burst open, all the goodies were still inside!

LEGO, Jonathan's latest favorite!

A Unicorn stuffed animal for Naomi!

Airplane and glow stick for Jonathan!

After he figured out how to open it, he was quite excited to have a truck with his name on it!

Love this photos of Naomi and her new purse!

Naomi got a hair bow! Love it!

And her friend Linda also has a hair bow!

Grandma also sent an apron, that says "Mommy's Little Helper" and cute shoes for her too.

New shorts for me!

New Dress for Naomi!

Talking on Skype with my mom, love it!!

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs...

Jacob had another challenge with a disobedient dog on the other center very close by. So he brought him here to train him for a few days. Three male, aggressive, non socialized dogs, all together. It was  pretty challenging!

The Cement/Drain Project

It all started with digging... because the water was going into all the apartments. Jonathan and Linda had a great time helping with the digging process.

Home made drain pipe...PVC Pipe with holes drilled into it. The kids loved to pretend they were helping!

Finding crushed stone in a third world country is exhausting! It was quite a miracle actually that Jacob found this for his drain project.

Phase two of the Drain project - building a wall to redirect the rain water away from the building.

The cement pouring begins!

They were pouring the cement right next to our house... directly in front of the window of the kids room!

Finishing touches... Jonathan loves to help!

Next cement pour... prep 

Cutting wire to strengthen the concrete. 

And when it started to rain we had to go out to see if it was working... and it was!

Fun Container Items arrived by Ship!

We were excited to get a few items on the container ship that arrived a few weeks ago! An IKEA shelf for Jonathan's clothes, which we are putting together here. Also a lot of home school books! And now we are starting Kindergarten with Jonathan!

Here is the finished IKEA shelf for storing Jonathan's clothes, so nice!

We also got a sandbox for the kids to play with out on the back porch. They love it! Here they are seeing it for the first time, with their friend Linda.
