Hannah's birthday!

Well, better late than never! Hannah's birthday was a couple of weeks ago and we now have a 13 year old in the house!! Here's a bit about our girl Hannah:
1. She has a very dry humour which I appreciate.
2. She has gorgeous green eyes.
3. She is a natural with kids.
4. She is a sheer brilliance on the netball court
5. She likes neatness and order...yeehaa!
6. She is a talented designer and drawer.
7. She selflessly puts others before herself.
8. This year in particular she has demonstrated a strong and robust adaptability.
9. She looks after her brother and sister.
10. She is a caring and helpful daughter.

We are very thankful to God for her! Here she is waiting to get her ears pierced with friends.

Pretty nervous at this point!

Cuteness

Soph recently won the Target colouring competition and the prize was a $50 gift card from Target! Seeing she has been off school all week with an ear infection, we headed off to Target to see what took her fancy. (once the antibiotics kicked in!).Here is what she came up with. Seriously, how cute -I want to eat her! Well, that's $18 down and $32 to go!

Computer is finally up and running again -we're back baby!!! Actually there isn't a whole lot to say after that big build up ,now I think about it. We have entered birthday season around here -most notably in 3 short days Hannah will be turning 13! Years of waiting for facebook and pierced ears are about to pay off ! In between sickness, locking ourselves out of our unit, getting used to not having a dishwasher and pretending to enjoy my new gym membership, we have pretty much been putting together prayer letters, display boards for our presentations at other churches and emailing schools in Suva to work out where to send the kidlins.Tony is heading to Fiji on the 16th to speak at a conference and after that to look at schools and housing options for us which is great and not something many (if any)missionaries normally have the chance to do -so we're thankful! Some recent snaps...

Out to watch the boy cousins play soccer

Now you see it.....

Now you don't!
