Our first post from Africa!


Justice playing with Daddy and the 2 German Shepherds at Stan and Pam Lincoln's house


Justice seems to be enjoying his new life here.


Some pretty flowers in the Lincoln's backyard. They also have an avocado tree!

Well, we arrived in Uganda on Tuesday night after 20+ hours of flying. We even arrived with all of our luggage! There have been several days of culture shock, getting over jet lag and being sick with colds. But we are grateful that the Lord has brought us here safely. Our shipment, which left my (Tammi) parent's house last Sunday is expected to arrive in Bunia this coming Monday and we are slated to arrive there on Thursday. For now, we are staying with Stan and Pam Lincoln, the Maintainence Specialist and his wife. Pam is taking us shopping and showing us the sights of Kampala. Next week before we leave I (Tammi) will have an appointment with the midwife and doctor to meet them and take a tour of the hospital where our baby will be born in May. We are excited to finally be in Africa and appreciate your continued prayers as we get adjusted to our new life and culture in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Love, Tammi for Rodney, Justice and Baby girl Dyrud

So glad you made it save to Africa. I keep you in my prayers as you find this new continent your home... I am looking forward to hear what God is doing!

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.
