Christmas 2012 & 2013

Christmas 2012- We had our 4th Christmas in the Congo

Christmas 2013- We spent Christmas in the US, traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky.
We made lots of good memories with family!

School in Soddo

We brought our school- ICI Academy with us to Soddo.
We took the week we traveled for fall break, and then it was time to start again.

We have been working through the same subjects,
but also taking some extra time to enjoy our new surroundings.

This time last year

Stephen ran in a marathon!
Stephen was doing OK after,
but Caleb was worn out from standing at the finish line. 

Ian discovered Moon Pies.
Life changing!

At the Medical Missions Conference in Louisville,
we were able to connect with lots of friends,
most notably, Dr. Laura.

This time last year...

We had our last few times to visit GNP

Isabelle and I were cowgirls for Halloween

Caleb was a Leprechaun Warrior Ninja

Ian was a knight (I forget how the tomahawk worked into the costume.)

Lewis and Clark Museum with Josiah

Tree Climbing

You don't really need a playground when you are surrounded by good climbing trees...

Collecting Samples for Biology

 The kids collected some samples of river water for a biology experiment.

They also had samples of dirt and grass.

 They placed the samples in jars for one week.

After the week was over, it was time to look at the samples under the microscope.

School- Week 4

Coyote wants to "help" Caleb with his math.

Craft time!
