Lots going on



For those who may not have heard the news yet, we're having another baby! Baby Dyrud #2 is due May 16th and will most likely be born in Kenya, Africa :-) We feel blessed that God has given us another child and we pray that we will continue to be good parents for both of our children.

Rodney's parents and one of his sisters, Pamela have been staying with us for the last 10 days here in Idaho. We have had a nice time together, going to the zoo, a corn maze and a pumpkin patch. They left for California this morning and we enjoyed having them come to visit.

Rodney and I have another week of classes left here at MAF and then Rodney flies to Kansas for a 2 week maintenance course for the Cessna 208 Caravan, another plane that he will be working on once we get to Africa. We have reached 100% of our target ministry support and are in the process of buying place tickets for the middle of January to leave for the DRC!

Life is going full steam ahead and we are looking forward to coming back to California soon to see family and friends and to start packing our shipment for Africa. Have a blessed week!

Love, Tammi for the 4 of us :-)

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.
