1 Year Old

Dear Isaiah Michael Purdom,

A year ago Friday my Mom was flying to the states to help with my Sister-In-Law Leah's (your mom's) birth. We got the text and the pictures. 

Aren't you just the cutest?! Well, you didn't stay like that... the little part I mean, you're still as cute as can be. :)

[ Here's some pictures: Disclaimer: Beholder may have severe cute attacks and randomly say "Aww" because of such preciousness. ]

:D

You're such a little man.

You love Skyping with your Aunty Naomi. :)

Agh! You little boy make me smile and laugh so much!! 

You play boo. You laugh SO hard and think it's just the funniest thing when you take your hands off of your eyes and we say BOO!! :)

*die of cuteness*

You love your Daddy. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!! <3

Snuggle time. :)

Needless to say I am one proud Auntie. :)

Funny Story: Your Mama and Baba have been doing a little bit of ASL with you, and the first time you did a flawless "Please" you found you had a collar!! So you spent the next ten minutes tugging and jabbering and showing them your collar. hehe precious boy. :)

They are doing so good with you. I am so proud. I know you will grow up to be a Christian man like your daddy. :)

I love you my punkin man!!! :)

~Your Loving Aunty Naomi :)

xoxoxo

Ooh, you need a makeover!!

Our room here in Trinidad was... well imagine pretty old (yellowed), stained white walls, and sleeping on poor worn out pillowcases. It was time for a change:

 We painted the walls aqua-blue, and of course kept our tradition of hanging Christmas lights in our room, or "romantical lights" as they are fondly called. :)

I made new curtains. You can't see them too well, sorry, but they are kinda like Roman Curtains. I put rings on the back and a tie through them, and we just pull 'em up and tie them to the bars on the windows. As you can see, through the one that's down, the sun shines through the stripes on the back, and that with the lights gives it a really colorful happy affect. 

The inside is just black with white floral stuff. It helps with the lights at night, we all love sleeping in dark dark. :)

Anna and I sleep in the top of our two bunk beds. (On air mattresses-Prettty nice! :D) She wanted a new pillowcase, and of course, being myself, I ran away with it and coordinated her whole bed. lol

(Notice the canopies? No, they are NOT princess canopies. They are mosquito nets. aka lifesavers. aka the only reason I go to bed..... well that stretches it a little bit, but you get the picture! hehe!)

She loves red and black.

Black bottom sheet, red top sheet.

The big pillow is two-sided. (Hobby Lobby fabric)

The small one "ties it all together." (Walmart in Monett, MO fabric)

She thinks I'm a little over exuberant about it and laughed when I asked her if I could blog about it, but I don't care! ha! hehe :)

Now mine: 

I love blue and brown, especially with a little orange and bright colors to spice it up! 

(I love the whole room too, obviously. ;)

Light blue sheets.

Big pillow: brown with all colored stripes. (JoAnns fabric)

Snuggle pillow: one side blue with floral (Hobby Lobby fabric).....

The other side: brown with blue and green polka dots. (JoAnns fabric once again.)

And of course topped with mosquito net. :)

I really love it all except the lime green blanket. (We live in the Caribbean: Anna sleeps warm even with her fan, and I still get cold with my fan.) It's great except for the color! Whoops! haha!

I have had SO much fun over the past six months of completely redoing our room. Especially all the sewing, that has been right up my alley. :)

Tell me what you think: the colors too crazy? What are y'alls rooms like? 

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

:)

In Trinidad Once Again...

Howdy folks!

I know my dear blog has been dreadfully neglected, we have been so busy!

We are now back in Trinidad after 8 weeks of Furlough. Thanks to all of you who helped us and kept us in your prayers. It was lots of fun! We got to spend a lot of time with family, and see precious friends. 

We went to seven different states, several supporting congregations, and even got to go to PTP for four days. It was very uplifting and encouraging. 

I did graduate and had a super fun party, so this next year will be new for me. I'm excited. :)

Another post hopefully coming soon! :)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

When you limin' by d mall...

First, you try to convert the mannequin at Detour

Then you blush that he's holding your hand

Sit on Anna! 

Make sure that Aunty Sarah has a good birthday at Pizza Hut :)

Spend three whole hours at Pizza Hut laughing, telling jokes, laughing, playing games, laughing, and laughing some more! :)

Prayer Request

This afternoon I would like you to please take a moment and pray for a dear friend of ours. His name is Trovel Emmanuel. He was a student at the School of Preaching, and just graduated Sunday. He is a faithful Christian who loves the Lord and his work.

He is having surgery today that is rather serious, and would appreciate all the prayers on his behalf.

Yeah, he's cool. A real good friend. :)

On another note, Wade, Leah, and Isaiah got here safely yesterday afternoon. We are enjoying them SO much. :)

Have a wonderful day.
