A busy life

A lot has happened in the last two weeks, so I thought I'd update you on our busy lives.


We celebrated Mother's Day with my (Tammi) family and had a great time with the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.


Rodney and I went to Magic Mountain for two days to celebrate our wedding anniversary early. I got motion sickness both days so I didn't do very many rides, but we had fun being together and it was great knowing that Justice was being well taken care of by my parents.
We had a speaking engagement for a womens luncheon up in Redlands on the 15th and then on the 19th we went to my grandparents house for lunch and Justice had his first experience in the swimming pool (which he loved!)


This is Justice at the end of a long day of swimming; all tired out :)
We also made our decision about language school; some of you know that we were looking into the possibility of going to Canada for French language school in August 2009 instead of January 2010, but after much prayer and wise counsel from family and friends, we felt that the best decision for our family would be to stick with the original plan (so we are here until December).
Just in case you are interested, I have posted links on our blog site to the weather in Bunia, DRC where we are going in Africa and also in Sherbrooke, Quebec where we will be for language school. Have a super Memorial Day weekend!

HERE IT IS!

Well, we finally did it! We started a blog to keep people up-to-date on our lives both here and overseas (when we eventually get there). We can share pictures and tell people what is going on by posting our information on the blog. This means no more mass e-mails :) People can subscribe to the blog and then everytime we post something, it will be sent to you automatically as an e-mail (at least, that's the idea, if we can figure it out). We hope this works as a good communication network to stay in touch with people. There is also a way for you to post comments on our blog.

ITS A BOY!

Tammi Lynne and Rodney Kent Dyrud had a baby boy last night Sun Sept 28,2008 at 11:46pm. His name is Justice Kent Dyrud; he is 8 lbs, 20 1/2 inches long and so far the health baby we (Tammi and I) have been praying for. Thank you for all of your prayers. Here is one of his first pictures. I am currently working on getting a video posted.

Spring/summer has arrived!

My first drink out of a big boy cup at almost 20 months old My first goatee..................... well, more like chocolate ice cream :) Today is our last holiday before the end of school. It has been in the 80s this weekend so we've started (finally!) putting away our scarves and hats and mittens and pulling out our shorts and tank tops. On Friday we went on a field trip to downtown Sherbrooke. We did a scavenger hunt where we had to ask people on the street (in French of course) to give us directions to certain buildings in the city. We were in five different teams and each team had different questions. Then we all got together at the end of the morning and shared our results; it was fun :-) We are also in the process of planning our trip back across the US at the end of June. We hope to see many family members and friends on our way back to California.
