Happy Easter!

"The resurrection is the most well attested fact of ancient history". Dr. Simon Greenleaf 

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend celebrating the death, burial and resurrection of our Savior! Rodney had Friday off and we had planned to go for a hike, but when we woke up on Friday morning it was 32 degrees and SNOWING..... so we enjoyed a family day at home :-) Saturday found us doing an Easter Egg hunt in the park at 10am, having lunch with friends at our house at noon and then heading to church for an Easter Egg Hunt and church service on Saturday evening.

We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the way home from church :-) 

On Sunday morning, we went back to church for our Sunday School class and then we took a picnic lunch and went hiking for the afternoon since it was nearly 70 degrees today! We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in God's marvelous creation and I kept smiling as I thought about the fact that on Friday it was 32 degrees and snowing and on Sunday it was 68 degrees and sunny.


Just as an aside, I have started a personal blog at missionarymommylife.blogspot.com It's a place where I blog about more of my life as a wife and mom. Feel free to check it out :-) Have a blessed week!

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.
