Library Expanded and Kids Club Started

30-40 kids come every day for kids club! Praise God for the new expanded library and "multipurpose" room. It is getting use!
Kids love crafts. Emi is so good at teaching Bible stories, songs and crafts.

She's so organized! Here she is with Malachi in the new improved, expanded and painted library!


Walking through the neighborhood with my other friend and her kids.

God is sending more rain! Praise the Lord! Splashing in puddles is lots of fun. I finally let go and let Elijah get muddy. He was in bliss.

Malachi is 7 Months--Camera Mom is In Love

These pictures may look all the same to you, but I can't help it! I just love this little guy. He is a small doll. I have to get every angle; every expression! I'm sure even if just for my mom, she will study every detail. Precious guy! Thanks, Lord, for our boys!

Learning to sit (still with pillows)

Looking older!

So joyful and curious! I can see my baby picture in this one (how about you, mom?).

Little student--loves to touch (no eating books!).

Here's the TWINS! In Cebuano "Tambal" means "medicine", so I thought people kept asking me for medicine, but then I learned that "Kambal" means "twins". It is unreal how many times a DAY I get asked by people if they are twins. Hahaha! I can't stop laughing. (and A.M.)

Tough guys

Elijah loves his brother to bits. Squeeze! I have to keep him from smashing Malachi out of love.


I can't help it, so many cute pics. He's a small doll!

Learning to hold his head up (and eat grass). He was never fond of the tummy position so it is slow going.


Classic--sticking out his tongue. He can curl it in so many ways.

Another expression. Really, people, you should see how many I did NOT include on this post!

With Mama!

Meanwhile....while the moms are gaa-gaa over the baby pictures what are the boys doing? Playing with scissors! (notice the pink pair under Elijah's foot!)


Elijah is so funny and creative. Playful boy.

And here is my life--thank God for strength! Elijah is a monkey--I love his grown-up expression here --cool guy.

Malachi's first time on the bike! Soon I may try both boys on one bike, but we'll see. I have yet to see anyone in this world do that so will it work?

Malachi's so curious about the gears. He tries to lean down to touch them but he needs to sit up straight!

Seminary Graduate!

April 3, 2010. Lining up for processional. Such silly hats, but tradition...wear it proudly.
Coming down the aisle--with escorts. It must be Filipino--one must never walk alone.

Nate and I led worship together.


I like this shot.

Me with my 5 classmates--six of us graduated. One M.Div., three in counseling and one certificate. Mine was M.A. Christian Education.


I'm feeling excited.

Kneeling to receive honors. It is a foretaste of the day when I will kneel before Christ and I hope to be completed with this "race" and hear Him say "well done Good and faithful servant."

Two guys trying to pin me.

Finally receiving the diploma!

It's done. Praise God for this gift!

Sharing my testimony of God's faithfulness....and Deut 8. May I never forget or become proud but remember the Lord my God.


Official.
My "family" and friends! Such support.

I did it! It's over! Thank the Lord!


Me and my man--the real outfit. Thank you, again, Lord.
