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.

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!!

Back in Wewak again...

 After our trip to Goroka, it was a bit more difficult to get back into the swing of things here in Wewak again. But we know this is where God has placed us and we are enjoying what He has for us here!

 When we got back, Jonathan received his birthday present from his grandparents in the mail!

 He also received a few fun balls for his birthday, and let his dad use them to juggle... Jonathan loves to watch his dad juggle!

 Some friends found a car in their storage area that they didn't need anymore, so Jonathan has been trying out his driving skills. But his feet don't quite reach the ground yet, so mom does most of the work. :)

 We were excited that Jacob was able to put in a new shrub in our shower, so now Jonathan has a bigger bath area! It isn't finished yet, but we are happy we can use it!

 Jonathan loves to push the laundry basket back and forth from one end of the porch to the other... and sometimes he is quite determined in his task. :)

 

 Sometimes he delivers things to mom and dad along the way.

Jacob is hard at work!

 Jacob has been hard at work the last couple days making a new staircase out of the old side walk pieces that were torn out during our generator project.

 He did a fine job, if I do say so myself. :)

 Jonathan loves to go visit his dad in the afternoons when we take our walks!

Fish Market

 Every few weeks we go to the Fish Market nearby to try a new fish and buy some of our favorite fish, Red Emperor. Jacob enjoyed filleting it and I like having fish in the freezer for a quick and easy dinner. :)

 Jacob enjoys finding the perfect fish to take home and fillet!
