Do, a nut...er, I mean Doughnuts! :D

I've been in the cooking mood today, I made fresh yeast bread, and Donuts! I got the recipe from here, it's amazing! :)

Mmm...yummy!

I only had enough glaze for half of them...

Look meh doughnut boi! :)

I'm so glad they worked so well! :)

Oh yeah...That's what I'm talkin' about!

I love cooking for my family! (Miles is sitting right beside me and says, "For my Family?! you mean for Miles! :D" )

And yes, for my wonderful brothers too! <3 :)

Have you ever made homemade doughnuts before?

<3

Yeah, I'm just a little bit proud of him! :D

Some of my favorite pictures...you gotta love Skype and screen shots! :)

LOOK! He's yawning! Isn't that the most adorable thing you've seen all day?

Look at his precious toes! He has big feet like my Grandpa :)

And doesn't Wade look so proud? <3

AH! He's smiling! He loves Aunty Naomi!!!! :D <3

"Gwama, don't pinch my cute fat!"

He looks so peaceful here...lil' cutie patootie!

So... A wonderful family from the states sent us a box, filled with amazing stuff! :)

(They really happened to know us very well, too. ;)

Since they included really soft yarn, in baby blue, I thought I might make a certain someone a couple (or...way more than a couple) things... :)

I got this idea from here, and I thought it was just too cute! :) I revised it just a little, but it was fun! :)

*Enter Double Pom Pom Hat*

Can you just imagine his munchkin head all cozy and cute?!

Hopefully the rib on the bottom will keep it on. :)

*Pom poms! *

Now on to a next something! :)

I'm thinking little matching booties with pom poms, or a tri-cornered hat next.

What do you think?

"Always! No...never...."

There are good and bad things to everything that you do. Like going to the beach.

Good: When you put on sunblock and re-apply twice, before you get in the sun, you don't end up looking TOO much like a tomato! Woot! :)

Bad: When you forget insect repellent when going to Las Cuevas (aka "Home of the Sand Flies")...

:P

Today was really great! The students of the preaching school, a few of the instructors, and our family had a beach lime. It was fun! :)

Hope everyone has a great Lord's day tomorrow!

My New Favorite Advertisement

This summer we helped with several VBS weeks. It was very encouraging, we had a great time! The children here are so sweet, and so eager to learn. :)

One night, while we were preparing for the next day, Miles helped a bit, then sat down there with us, at the table covered with paper, scissors, glue, tape...etc. So he takes a piece of black paper and a white coloured pencil, and I see him writing for a while. When he was done he let me read it, this was the result:

"Elmer's Glue-all

The glue you use to glue all things. It will glue all, even your new toy that broke. It will fix anything from your tool box to that broken piano key. All you have to do is go to the nearest Walmart and buy a bottle of

Elmer's Glue-all."

Isn't he a genius!?

:D

Roti and Requests

Part 1:

ROTI

...mm hmm, you just read that...roti. :)

Okay, so I really really love the food here. One of my favorites is roti, an Indian bread. It's kind of like a thin tortilla, only a bit wetter. You eat it by tearing off a bit, then picking up a bit of meat, or whatever else, and stuffing it in your mouth! :) Well, politely...

The other night I tried my hand at making Dosti Roti, one of a couple kinds. It turned out really well! And it was fun! :)

Going clockwise, on the top left is Stew Pumpkin, then the roti skin. Channa and Potatoes is chick peas and potatoes all cooked together in curry and masalla, then the chicken is curried.

P.S. You should come and visit me so you can try it, it's really good! ;)

Part 2:

A few prayer requests.

• Anna and Nathan are starting Preaching school on Monday, and Emily and Lydia will be taking a few part time. Please pray that they will be safe, and learn a lot.
• The boys and I are also starting a full schedule of school back on Monday.
• My Mum is flying to America on Tuesday, to be with my brother, Wade and his wife Leah, who is expecting their first baby soon! :D
• Pray that Leah will have a safe delivery, and as they go to their next place of work.
• A gentleman in our congregation passed away yesterday morning. He had terminal cancer. His wife also has several health problems.

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
