Today Mikah turned 13. We offically have our first teenager... yikes... But we love her and are very thankful for God's guidance and protection in her life!
As per tradition, Mikah requested a trifle for her birthday cake and I was more than happy to fulfill that request! I've been saving chocolate pudding, dream whip, and some caramilk squares from Canada for this very day... YUM!!

Correction: Yesterday I said that the child who passed away was the young couples first child but in actual fact it is their third child. Hugo attended one of the funeral services yesterday. There are usually a couple services when someone dies, before and after the burial. Apparently the boy died of cerebral malaria.
There was a wave that hit Jayapura on Friday night at about 8:30. It caused damage in an area farther up the coastline from where we were. About 15 minutes drive. You can see photos here
The day after the tsunami, a group of guys from the high school went to the beach and swam in post-tsunami waves. Apparently the water level went up and down dramatically every 10-15 minutes.

Happy Birthday to your daughter! congratulations Mom!
The wave pictures ... were the homes terribly stable to begin with?! Either way, scary stuff - I do hope no one was hurt. Supposedly they evacuated parts of Vancouver Island, but I never heard about anything, so assume all was well.
Wow!!! What a lovely teen granddaughter we have!!
