kids and cricket

They must have put a new tower up or something - because all of the sudden our internet is working great. So I might over the next few days try and put up a few pictures that I would like to share...
First our family... Just to show you how much Joseph is growing up!!

Bryce is just growing up far too fast. He is getting really good at stuff - like picking pawpaws for me. The trees are really tall - this one isn't too bad but the other day he climbed one that is higher then the house to get a pawpaw (papaya for the Candadians).

This is Cameron's playmate - Gideon (we all call him Giddy). They get along just great in spite (maybe because of??) the one and a half year age difference. Here they are sitting together at Nine Mile Church ... maybe not such a good idea???

Every block we play a different sport. It is cricket this block. Fun for everyone - only Alan and Wayne knew the rules (and even they didn't agree :-)).





And finally to show a picture of Joseph eyeing off Cameron's food. He was really picking on him this night, trying to pinch something off his plate.

our blue eyed boys

Just wanted to put in a picture of our blue-eyed boys. Joseph is still having a very rough time teething and is a full time job!! (I am not joking). Thankfully we have pretty much finished school (just reading a few books which is fun anyway) so I have the time to be there forhim. He is over his sickness though (the doctor gave him the all clear on Monday but told him to do 5 more days of the antibiotics so he is on those til the end of the week). He loves socialising and being held so he gets passed around a lot. Even Bryce has got the hang of carrying him around!!

ephelants - and new internet!!!

Cameron is right into 'ephelants' at the moment. He got a lovely one for his birthday and he takes it with him everywhere -

in the shower

reading books

he plays games with it (it is carrying the piece of wood for him)

water fights (he doesn't like the mud (so he left it inside when they were washing the car) but he likes water...)

eating



and off course to bed with him

They were doing crafts the other day and he had to make an elephant. So Bryce drew it for him and Mary Susan (a girl from Mekeo we have here with us at the moment) cut it out for him and he decorated it. Cool hey??

Part of the reason I have so many photos on today is just because I can!!!! we have a new internet connection which means it is fast, it doesn't depend on the phone and we can download (and send) bigger files. Wonderful for me to send out my newsletters (as that was a REAL pain) but also for our blog. So I am really hoping that I can update it more often. Hopefully I won't bore anyone :-)

Wow this went fast!! I am so impressed!!!
