Just a quick update for you. The last two months have flown by as Ben has helped prepare one of our planes to fly on another island, hosted two NTM Aviation visitors from the States and renewed his Filipino pilot's license. What does that entail? That's for another time...
On the home front, today is Zack's 6 month birthday. He is almost crawling and is pretty much a happy camper. Ellie is our 'big bad princess' and Ty is determined to make his way as a superhero.
A couple weeks ago, we went to visit the crocodile farm here in our city. Originally started to farm the crocs for their skins, I don't know what they do with them now, but there are sure a lot of them. While I held (tightly) onto this guy, the kiddos touched him. Ellie was the only one who was really game (although, Zack didn't care one way or the other...). Don't worry, this guy's mouth was securely closed and I was fully ready to protect my brood from his ferocious and most probably sedated existence.
We look forward to next week's Christmas celebration. We will be joining some fellow missionaries on Christmas day for a traditional Austrailian Christmas feast, complete with roasted lamb. I've never had that before. There is a first time for everything.
Baa.
We've been having carolers at our house at night here. The cultural expectation here is to give them a treat (or money) for caroling. We are enjoying the experience of it, although we have done so much more amazingly well at having the lights out and being in bed by 9 (or 8). It's very cute, with their Filipino accents, singing Feliz Navidad.
And that's all I have to say for now.
Merry Christmas!
