The adventure continues....

Greetings to our family and friends. I was thinking the other day about how our life and ministry have changed since we returned to the States for a short while. We are still enjoying our time and service with MAF here in Idaho but life is much different than it was overseas. I still enjoy making meals from scratch on occasion and Justice and I make lots of yummy goodies for Rodney to take to work and share with his co-workers in the hangar.

I guess the biggest part of our lives that has been different is all the driving and travelling that we do now. With a deputation trip to Orange County coming up in October and Jaycee scheduled for more surgery at the end of November, we'll have a lot of drive time (or flight time) from Idaho to California in the next few months. We are so thankful for our reliable van and for the family and friends that we are sometimes able to see on our drives.

Someone asked me the other day where 'home' was for us and I laughed. I guess I will always consider California my home but we've lived in several different countries and continents and states in the last 5 years.

We are looking forward to being 'home' again in California for a while (Orange County in October and San Diego in January) and hope to see many of you during our visits.

Love, Tammi for the family

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.
