Settling In...

Well, this'll be a hodge-podge of things but basically sums up the few weeks we had home before we headed out again for our yearly conference in Bali...

First thing we did once getting back home was to head over to see Jos & Yuli's new baby named Alden. We're so happy w/ Jos & Yuli! He was born while we were having to deal w/ visa stuff in Jakarta.




When we got back home folks also stopped over to see Lij (not really to see us!) ;)

Here we enjoyed dinner on the seawall outside our home/office with a few friends. Elijah got all bundled up in his Indo cloth carrier to ward off mosquitoes.


We also enjoyed a beach trip to our favorite "secret cove" with our friend & intern Joel as well as some of our national buds.






A couple times a month we like to get together w/ likeminded folks across different organizations. Here's one of those meetings in our livingroom. Look @ our prego friends Lily on the left & Berta on the right, so cute!




Here's Elijah enjoying his "Johnny Jump-up" on our front porch (our office in the background) as well as taking parts off of his walker to eat them...


Every morning behind our home as we eat breakfast we see fishermen (like our friend Bal here) pass by from the ocean back home - sometimes they're carrying fun things like hammerhead sharks or stingrays too!

Another fun random pix, J trying a temporary fix on the hole that our neighborhood cat made in our screen door (Lij looking on w/ great interest ;)

Lij trying his new sippy cup!


Which evidently wore him out...;)

We're enjoying reading books with Jah these days - every once & awhile kids in the neighborhood like to listen in too (the translated version of course)


And us just hanging out :)
