Always on the go


 Justice loves to ride his bike around our neighborhood. Tammi's parents bought this bike for Justice when they came to visit us during French Language School in Quebec, Canada. This bike has traveled from Canada, all the way across the US to California, out to Africa and back to the US again :-)





                                                        Jaycee's first steps at 10 months old

We've been busy since we moved to Idaho at the end of January..... it's hard to believe that April is here already! Justice and I (Tammi) have been taking advantage of the cold (sometimes snowy) days by playing outside and then when we get too cold we come inside and bake cookies (for Rodney to share at work) along with potato bread in my bread maker and homemade granola for snacks. Jaycee took her first steps a few days ago (See video above) and now she is trying to keep up with big brother. We are gearing up for our next adventure when we head out to California for Jaycee's surgery on May 3rd. She will be having liposuction done on her cheek to remove the lipoma (extra fatty tissue). At the same time, an eye surgeon will also be putting a stint in her right eye to help the tears to drain better out of that eye. The procedures will take several hours and Jaycee will be in the hospital overnight and then have several weeks of recovery afterwards.

Happy Easter everyone! We are thankful that Jesus rose from the dead so that we can live forever with HIM!

Love, Tammi for Rodney, Justice and Jaycee too

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.

Reflecting on the light

 I was reminded this week of something that happened while we were in French Language School in Quebec, Canada in 2009-2010 before heading to Africa. We had just arrived and were getting settled into our apartment for the school year when the power went out in our building. Since all of our candles and flashlights were still mostly packed, we turned on a small flashlight that Rodney had on his key ring and tried to locate a larger source of light, not knowing how long the power might be off. Just then, there was a knock at our door. We didn't know a soul in the apartment building so I didn't know who would be coming to our door. I opened the door and the woman from across the hall was standing there with a lit candle in her hand. She spoke only French and I spoke only English at that point, but through hand gestures I figured out that she had brought us this candle and wanted us to keep it until the power came back on. I think I managed a nod and a smile as she went back ...
