Happy 2014!!!

Well, this is my first blog post of 2014. It's hard to believe two weeks have almost gone by in 2014 meaning that there are 50 left. This week New Hope's annual Envisioning is starting up. Catriona and I are going to be at Hope Family every afternoon so that will keep us busy.

Hope Family

Catriona and I have been helping at Hope Family more. We have been going every Wednesday and Tuesday and are doing more in the holidays. Today we did chalk and went to the playground. Enjoy the pictures.

Treasures Class

Today Catriona and I went to the Special Needs Class (which is being re-named Treasures Class) end of year party. I have really enjoyed helping out in the class this year on Thursdays. These kids are so much fun. The changes in these lives are incredible and miraculous. The staff and parents shared things about the kids that have improved over the past year and we had a time of singing which Stella did not enjoy and added her own noise (not a particularly joyful one) to the sound of voices, recorders, drums, and bells. Enjoy the pictures! We missed Kakulu and Julia at the party.

My Snake

I just had the unique opportunity to kill my first snake. It was really small so not much. Thankfully my first hit was accurate and I succeeded in chopping its head off with one clean cut. After that I hit it a few more times for good measure. We were kind of creeped out by its reflexes. We could see it opening its mouth and its body wriggling around for a few minutes after. I decided I needed to take some pictures after it was done.


My handy tool, now sitting beside our door.
