January - the typical excitement over opening a care package!
February - we're always trying to get decent family shots for the prayer updates and newsletters. This one is in our backyard.
March - Making Tessa's 5th birthday cake together
April - The kids love dying and decorating Easter eggs. This year we had letter stickers from a care package that worked nicely.
May - Mother's Day gifts that Dusty bought on a trip to Dar included Caesar salad dressing, a citronella candle, beet seeds, and pesto in a jar.
June - The Tanzanians and missionaries from our project came together by (ironically) playing each other in a "World Cup" soccer match, and everyone had a great time and felt more unified as a result. Since then we've had several more games with mixed teams.
July - Annual family photograph session on the Kenyan coast at our branch conference. Sometimes the best photo follows the silliest.
August - Tessa gets involved at the literacy workshop.
September - Dusty's birthday, hamming it up.
October - dressed up for the wedding of one of the translators, Shem.
November - mini-vacation at the Rondo Retreat in the Kakamega Rain Forest in Kenya. We let Tessa use our big and heavy camera to finally get a picture of the two of us together. She did a pretty good job!
December - Jack turned 4 on December 23rd, but we celebrated with a party on the Saturday beforehand. He loved his dinosaur cake, pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel, and musical chairs. On the 26th he said, "Now I'm almost five!"
