Bonne Actions de Grace

Yesterday, October 12th was Canadian Thanksgiving. All of the Language School students got together (about 40 of us) and had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner complete with pumpkin pie :) Thanksgiving is celebrated early in Canada because it starts snowing soon afterwards.

When we woke up this morning, the snow was falling :) It only lasted for about an hour and it didn't stay on the ground, but this was the official introduction of winter in Canada! We would appreciate your continued prayers for Rodney; he went to the doctor again today and the doctor said he has some kind of a skin infection. They have given Rodney a topical antibiotic ointment to put on his face along with oral antibiotics that he will be taking. His headaches have decreased and his energy is returning, so we are grateful for that.

Here is a video of Justice dancing :) If you can't view it on your e-mail, go to www.dyrudadventure.blogspot.com and view it from the blog. Enjoy!

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.
