Happy New Year!

Jude ate a LOT of sand!

What it's all about, relaxing!

Happy New Year, or Happy, Happy! as they say in Pidgin here. Had a great time at the beach. There was about 10 missionary families there, out in the middle of nowhere. We shared a site with our great friends the Youngs (he is a pilot for Wycliff out here). They have kids our boy's age. And of course we took our dog Strider too so it was a pretty packed car for the seven hour plus drive down there... but well worth it.

I got to go snorkeling for the first time, Jake went last year but since I was pregnant I didn't want to risk bashing into any rocks. It was soooooo amazing, saw hundreds of amazing fish. About a hundred meters out into the ocean, there's sort of like a rock wall that all the fish hide behind, fish of all shapes and sizes, they're very tropical looking. I even saw a eel (not to big) peaking it's head out at me from a hole... which I quickly swam over. It was just like another world under there, God's creation is so marvelous. It was such a blast and can't wait to do it again next year. Also our friend caught a huge barracuda that we had for supper one night, scrumptious! The boys had fun swimming, building sandcastle and playing battleships of all things (their now favorite game).

For new's year night a bunch of us got together and played Scum till midnite. Then we lit a big fire... and went to bed :)

We got back on Friday and have busy ever since. The car wash should be open in the next week or two. We've paid for the water meter to be put in but they haven't done it yet... I think they're waiting for a "gift" which we won't give of course. Just pray that it all gets sorted out as it won't be much of a car wash with our water!
