Bits and Bites...

*Yesterday we had an Easter service and a hunt for plastic eggs... hmmm... and a krupuk eating contest - the krupuk is hanging from strings and you have to try to eat it without grabbing it with your hands. Throughout the "events" there was of course, loud music, Christian of course, playing. And there were lots of bite-sized goodies, many deep-fried, to eat.
*During the service we sat next to a tiny Dani man, wearing western clothes thankfully, and a bright pink toque. Yes, you read right, a bright pink toque. It was not cold...

*Hugo made it to church but spent the rest of the day attached to the couch...

*Warning to all who are considering visiting us, this (see photo) is what we require all guests to do after we're finished eating... (Just kidding...)
This is our friend Wayne, originally from New Zealand, now living in Medan. Thanks for the visit Wayne, so fun to catch up with you again! - This one was for you Rosie!
*Today I popped by Rita's house to check on her. Did the ole manual dehydration test by pinching the skin on her hand and all was good. She looked pretty good so that was encouraging.
*Tomorrow Aidan is supposed to get the little flap of skin under his upper lip snipped. It goes down inbetween his two front teeth and is causing them to spread apart... We'll see how that all goes down....

Hubby had that done years ago to. It helped his lisp somewhat but would have been better had he had it done when he was little. He also needed it in order to wear false teeth! Wasn't a big thing he just went in a roo mat the hospital and they just cut it, asked him to look and see if he thought they'd snipped far enough and that was it. He now wishes they had snpped further but like he said "how was I to know how far it should be?"

Great to see you put the men to work after you have fed them Erica. I'm glad you put a photo on your blog just for me. I do read it occasionally. Should learn to comment more. You are extremely good at doing it I might add and I do enjoy reading it.

Time to say 'Hello' again...Thankful to hear Hugo is on the mend. Hopefully the after effects will be minimal and you will soon be able to take up your task again. Thankfully Brynne is doing o.k.
Any new teeth yet Aidan? All the boys still enjoying their new hockey rink? Watch out with those slap-shots. You don't want any more missing teeth!
Belated Happy Birthday Mikah. Sounds like you had a good time!
Erica, you sure seem to keep busy in the field of Nursing! You may even qualify for a Diploma soon!
God Bless and Keep you all.
