Relaxin' with the fam

Baby Sister loves to climb and here she is climbing on our rice bag to get more height. Meanwhile Big Brother cannot let go of his plastic container of spiders even to take a picture.

The whole family interior

The house building is coming along nicely. And, we got a village medical worker as well. Progress is nice to see.

While the perm. house is being built we are staying in a temporary house that we hope to improve substantially.

Another day, another lizard

The Peanut needs no toys, he catches lizards and bugs everyday.

The locals even tell him which spiders he can eat, but he has not eaten any yet.


Here he shows off a rare large lizard and a two-tailed gecko.

What a difference a year makes!

Next year it will be skyscrapers!

Brush your teeth every day

Every night before we go to bed it is time to brush teeth. While we do that, we sing this ditty:


Brush your teeth every day
It's the clean and healthy way

Let your dentist check them too
so they will not bother you

Give your teeth a snack time treat
Crunchy vegetables to eat




And part of the tradition is to change the last verse to "crunchy animals to eat" to which the Peanut says..."Nooooooooo..that's not how it goes..."

Peanut tells grammas and grampas hi for Mother's Day

I can ride my bike now.

I have many spiders and beetles.

I like lizards.

Baby Sister can stand up and walk now...



...Peanut had much to say.

My son's future vaudeville career

He sings, he dances!!! A possible future calling? He needs a few more members and he will have a barbershop quartet.
