Life...

Life in our house is definitely in high gear these days. On the weekend we managed to get our crate packed up! Yay! One more thing off the list. Just waiting for the customs approval from Indo before getting the shipper to pick it up. The shopping list is dwindling down to a few necessary items... relief is in sight... Hugo is busy studying to do his last 2 government exams towards his M1 AME license. (small airplane mechanic) He also managed, together with P V, to replace all the single-paned windows in our home with double-paned ones.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of sharing our experiences with a grade 12 Comparative Religions class at Credo High. That was fun! I love the comments teen-age boys make!! Our authentic bow and arrow from the village of Boma was a hit! When Mrs. Vandergugten told the class that I had graduated from Credo I piped up to tell them that I was part of the class of 1992. The class informed me that they hadn't even been born yet then.... OUCH!!
Christiaan is sporting new hearing aids and trying out his new FM (thanks to a church in Holland). He is very excited about having an FM system that doesn't require cords.

Last week we managed to get in a family photo shoot with Karin Louwerse. We've never had a really nice photo done so it was high time! Check out the photos on Karin's blog: here If 20 people comment we can get a free 8x10!! That's exciting!! They're great photos!

the end is in sight! Are you excited to be going back?

About the crate... We are considering building a crate but haven't decided for sure yet. Any advice you/Hugo could give would be much appreciated! So you have to get customs approval BEFORE you get it shipped? Are you working with Berna on that? Are there different rules for building materials, etc than when you first built a crate? Thank you!!!
