New beginnings



Well, as many of you know by now, we returned from Africa on December 18th. It was decided that it would be best for our family if we came back to the States to finish our first term at MAF's Headquarters in Idaho. So, we were able to spend Christmas with our families in California and now we're getting settled in a home here in Idaho for the next year and a half.

Rodney has started work at the hangar and is enjoying all the new experiences working on different planes and engines.

I (Tammi) am at home with the kids and I'm always trying to think of new things to keep Justice occupied :-)

Jaycee started crawling a few days ago and Justice enjoys reading her stories and sharing his toys.


We were privileged to be able to meet with surgeons while we were in California regarding the lipoma in Jaycee's cheek. It looks like we will be doing some liposuction some time this year to try and remove the extra fatty tissue.

I guess that's all for now; keep your eyes out for a newsletter coming your way in a few weeks!

Love, Rodney, Tammi, Justice and Jaycee

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.
