FINALLY!

FINALLY! Here are the pictures that I promised of our time in Oklahoma. I have done this three time and each time the computer has deleted it. Annoying! SO, hopefully it will work this time!

Here is what our room would have looked like when we arrived, (although not so clean!). These bunkbeds became our walls, closets, shelves, and couches!
You can see our "wall" in the background. It was made of bunk beds and mattresses, and draped with old sheets and blankets. It worked quite well!

NOW, these are a few pictures of the time me and the little ones had in California. This is Noah and Micah enjoy the soft carpet at Nana and Papa's house. Anything is soft after concrete!

Noah had a blast feeding the ducks with Nana. Micah just looked puzzled at the strange creatures in front of him.


Noah getting a haircut from a friend of ours. Not his first, but it is always fun. He does a great job sitting still.



BACK in Oklahoma....After Tim picked me and the boys up at the airport, we found a playground and Noah had a great time running and playing with Daddy again!
We all missed him.

Micah is getting SO big!

Some of the Cherokee ladies at the church we attended while we were there made earrings and bracelets for us ladies as gifts. Mine were big and red! Noah enjoyed "wearing" them and walking around saying, "I'm Kerokee!" (Cherokee)
Packing up to go home! You can see the volleyball court in the background where the kids loved to ride bikes and run. This is right outside our room.

And speaking of Cherokee, today was Tim's LAST day of linguistics. He turned in his big (60 page) write-up on the Cherokee language today! What a relief. The last week or so, we saw him for meals, but there were times when he left the house before 8am and didn't come home till 2am! We ALL learned a lot...about ourselves, our family, and about the great God who is sufficient in all circumstances. Thank you to those of you who prayed for us during this time.
Tim has two, two week long classes left, Bible translation and a wrap-up on church planting. Then it is packing and traveling home to California for Christmas!
