New Pictures

I've gotten a chance to update our photo website. It's mostly just a site for our family and friends, but if you're interested in seeing more pictures, go here.

Back in the USA

Thank you for all the prayers surrounding our travel back to the US! The kids and I made it back to Seattle, Washington on the 1st with a relatively smooth and uneventful trip. The kids did amazingly well, I could not ask for two better travellers. We have had a great week and a half with my family here in Washington--we have been able to attend my niece Amelia's second birthday, participate in the traditional Judy family New Year's fondue dinner, and my best friend put on a baby shower for me. The kids have gotten to play in the snow for the first time (snow angels and sledding with Grandma!), and have become so attached to their cousins in the last 10 days that I am not sure how I will tear them away.

Tomorrow Caleb comes. He has had a great trip riding with his brother-in-law and cousin over the last 10 days, and he should actually be boarding the airplane in Addis Ababa as I write. We are very excited to have him back with us!

I'm taking advantage of this chance to flood the blog with some videos, so scroll down to see some of the new uploads.

I'll try and continue to do the blog some justice by adding some more pictures and posts over the next few weeks.

Putting Up Lochama's Windmill

Here is a series of videos from a few months ago. Caleb, Erogit and Goradit spent the morning putting up a windmill for Lochama, one of our night guards.

Proof (Rating: NBJ--No Beck Judy)

Now that I've had a chance to read some comments on our blog, I see that our credibility regarding snakes has been called into question. So although this isn't a great video, here's a short video of a 9 1/2 foot python Caleb killed about two weeks before Christmas.
