Getting settled in


Our new house in Bunia!


Already feeling big and hot at 25 weeks.... still have a ways to go ;-)

Rodney helping with a medical emergency flight on his first day!

Well, we've been in Bunia since the 3rd week of January and we are still getting settled in to our house and making lots of cultural adjustments. It's great that we have a wonderful team here who is helping us to go shopping, figure out where to get furniture made (one piece at a time) and recommending people who can help us with gardening and house work.
Rodney has started flying already and many of his 'training days' have turned into full work days so he's jumping in with both feet! There never seems to be a dull moment here :-)
Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement; they mean so much!

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.
