Our life :)

This was Justice's birthday cake that Great Grandma Gloria made for him. The letters and the elephant were on my (Tammi) first birthday cake some 26 years ago! Grandma saved them in the freezer and put them on Justice's cake :)
Justice clapping for himself as we sang him "Happy Birthday". Nana Terri found him a Disney birthday hat :)

Emily's 1st birthday is today, July 21st. We celebrated on Sunday.


She got a creature for her birthday and it seemed to be a cross between a sock monkey and an octopus so we decided it should either be called a socktopus or an octomonkey.
We had a wonderful time of vacation with our good friends, the Crawfords! We spent three days up at Shaver Lake and went for boat rides and made s'mores around the camp fire and played with the basset hounds :)
Here is what the rest of our time looks like: this week, we are packing like crazy. Next week, we are going to Idaho for some more training. The first week of August, we move out of our apartment and the second week of August we say good-bye to family and friends before we leave for Canada on August 17th.

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.
