Learning the ropes

Learning the ropes

February 28, 2014

Ants: You see 1 ant, you smash it with your finger.  You see a few ants, you just ignore them.  You see a ton of ants marching in a line, you spray them with All Purpose cleaning spray and wipe them up! Bananas: Almost every kind of banana that I buy is a “cooking banana” […]

Sittin’, Waitin’, Wishin

February 27, 2014

Some of you might know that Jack Johnson song!  It’s playing through my head as I am waiting for my language helper to come!  Papua New Guinea people run on their own time!  Not wrong…just different! My language helper told me that she would come Monday at 1, to help me learn tok pisin (the […]

Teaching them to bake

February 27, 2014

Our family, and the Hambrices, have really been spending a lot of time in a village named Savilong.  There are a lot of really nice people there, and several of them have been willing to help us learn Tok Pisin well.  Mandy and I met a woman named Rosemary who wants to help us, and […]

2nd hand stores

February 12, 2014

Most of you know that I love to shop!  You can shop in PNG!  We’ve been here for 2 weeks now and the honeymoon is over.  Haha, Mandy and I say that we don’t really think we even had a PNG honeymoon, but whatever it was, the reality has sunk in.  We’ve realized that we […]

Very Welcoming!

February 6, 2014

The people here are just so welcoming!!  Yesterday, we drove over to another neighboring village.  We had to park the car and then cross the river by food (don’t worry, it was only about 2 feet tall!)  As we are getting into the water, kids from the village race over to greet us and welcome […]

Aloha!  No, that would be Hawaiian!  We made it to Papua New Guinea!  It’s great to finally be here.  For all of you who have been with us 5 years ago, you know it’s been a long time waiting!  It is absolutely beautiful here!  Everything is green, except the flowers!  There are fruit trees all […]

Our Sophie is 2!!

Our Sophie is 2!!

December 17, 2013

It’s hard to believe that our Sophie is already 2.  It’s even harder to believe that she is no longer the baby.  We have had so much fun with our silly Sophie.  Her vocabulary has broadened so much as she can talk almost as much as Olivia!  Some of her newest obsessions are stuffed animals, […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

December 4, 2013

We had a wonderful time in Oklahoma, where we visited my family for Thanksgiving!  With only 2 more months to go in this country, we are really trying to “soak up” all of the family time we can.  BJ played golf with some of the guys, while the girls went black friday shopping, and grandma […]
