August Photo Blog
August 31, 2012
The internet outage (see previous post) starts in about five hours…so here are some pictures from August to keep you company over the weekend.
-
- Mommy and Levi
-
- Amelia’s Power Stance
-
- I went fabric shopping and two of these have already been turned into something awesome. I know, I need to post pictures of the last fabrics’ creations too…someday.
-
- Eggs. Lots of eggs. On our porch.
-
- Matthew and I made bagels. They were epic (especially because you can’t buy bagels here). Then I taught Papa Willy how to make them, and I was fairly proud of myself, because I taught him in French.
-
- Levi was interrupting Papa Alex’s nap. Tee hee hee.
-
- One of the beautiful flowers Papa Mosengo has planted for our enjoyment
-
- Blackened wood is used to cook foods by most Congolese, using a babula (see in the back of the SUV). I was simply amused at the bags. They love Obama here.
-
- Two fufu paddles!
-
- We needed our coconuts picked. Once again, who needs OSHA?
-
- Never mind the filthy hands…aren’t they cute?
-
- Amelia, the TOYS go on the shelf, not the baby…(she did this herself, no posed picture, of course)
-
- Only missionaries get so excited about being brought parmesan cheese (from TARGET) that they take pictures of their bounty
-
- Just our resident praying mantis
-
- A bird was hungry enough to get into our bunny cage
-
- Levi helped every single day for two weeks while the leaves poured off the tree. He loved it.
-
- Amelia learning to use a spoon
-
- Laughs
-
- Levi also loves to open the gate for people…sentinel petit.
-
- Since I am letting Matthew display his own pictures in his own blog post about his construction project, I can’t show you the rest of the beautiful new IT shack (seen as white in the background), but here is an adorable of his landscaping helper. Flip flops and Carhartts are how it’s done in Congo, by the way.
-
- Lychee/lichi fruit…tasty. And odd-looking.

mmmm. I want Lychee. I’ve only had it canned. And well, that’s obviously not the best way to eat it. I love all the pictures. Also? Bagels? YUM.
