Photo Post from February

We have had a mostly good month of February. Here are some of the photos from our time here in Wetaskiwin this week. We have had a few comments about posting things that have been going well for us, lots of blessings, and people caring for us. We just want to make it clear this has NEVRE been to brag or flaunt our lives.... pretty opposite actually, it's to shout out our praise to a Loving God, and a GREAT community of people around us that CARE for us, even down to very small details. Despite a very tite budget while vinj studies, we are coming out ok every month, nothing due to our genius... but rather to peoples love for each other. Below are a few of seth and taliahs new friends, they love these girls. And Seth has already asked if he is going to be marrying Naomi :)

Naomi and Grace, two of the kids great friends. Doing crafts as usual. 

The Phil and Teds Lobster high chair. I did not want one of the HUGE plastic high chairs that take up so much room, so I found this online and bought it for chawezi. It fits a two year old too actually, and fold down to very small to take around with you. Really am loving this. 

Our cutie Pie!

Taliah practicing with her scissors. 

This was Family Day, a provicial holiday in Alberta, a day to take time to be with your family. We took the kids swimming, vinj stayed out with chawezi, he says swimming if for when it's really hot outside, not when its freezing :) 

One of those mornings Taliah comes into our room straight from bed. 

Taliah was cold! :) This was the day we got 2 feet of snow.  And were out shoveling our walk, and the churches walk. 

Cold and snowy!

Seth was a trooper! HE shoveled the walk with vinj the whole time, such a good boy!

We are at Parent Link here, love our play group here, Monday nights and Wednesday mornings. 

Parent Link is a great place, funded by the government and local businesses, a play you go for FREE to meet other parents and let your kids PLAY. We go for 3 hours at a time. I'ts great to meet other moms from all walks of life, and have hear alot of great stories already. Lots of dads go monday evening with their kids, so vinj is going to start going MOndays... I think he is really going to enjoy that as well.

This is chawezi bed, we had to leave our play pen in Zambia, so had no bed for chawezi, he has been sleeping in the swing. AND we got this for an awesome deal, $80! 

This is an awesome product that works wonders on Taliah and Seths hair, so happy to have found something, it's an oil and works great. If you have curly hair check it out! 

Here is our "under the sea" picture!

We do crafts like I said most days, and here is two days of it, we made different animal habitats, with LOTS of help from Elizabeth. I had fun too : )

Here is our "Africa" Picture, I especially like the crocodile trying to get the bird. 

New decoration, less than $10 for everything. 

Vinj and I Found these mugs which are truly NO SPILL. finally something SAFE for having around kids, AND we SAVE on coffee because it keeps the drinks warm for 4 to 5 hours.

I am not a huge make up girl, but I do like it. I have had this brown stuff for years... same with the lipstick. Taliah has now figured it out, and sneaks into our bathroom and gets into the makeup :S So here is my stuff mostly gone from falling on the floor, and the lip stick is.... um... well you can see : ) 

HELLO! haha

These past 10 days have been kinda crazy in different ways. I went back and saw every single night we have had people over... people people people! We LOVE EM! One of my Favorite moments of the week was JOSH, one of our awesome young friends came over SUPER excited to show us his first car. a TOYOTA YARIS, he has worked HARD, and saved with amazing discipline for this car, and we are so proud of him, he took me around the church parking lot doing donuts : )
