Birthin'

Ever seen a praying mantis laying eggs? I love living here in the jungle and having a continuous science class. (Though sometimes the indiscretion with which the rooster & hen population choose to demonstrate their ability to, um...reproduce..is a bit embarrassing.) This praying mantis put it's eggs on the side of our house. Once we started looking around, we realized the same kind of egg sacks are all over the place!

New Doo

Are you humming the theme from Little House on the Prairie? I don't know why I waited so long to get my haircut. Well, maybe it was because my caveman liked it so much. Sometimes out here in the rainforest we lose touch with reality and stop caring so much how we look.

Now that Boaz is growing his hair long, Asher wants long hair too. But Asher's hair is so straight and thick that we didn't think he'd really enjoy how hot it would make him. So...I told Asher that if he let me cut his hair, I'd let him cut mine. He was all over it!



We cut off about 15 inches. Asher did the major cutting. Nathan worked on it a bit after that, and I tried to even some things up in the front, but we were thankful that our teammate Jennifer walked by and was willing (and very able) to finish it up and get it looking nice.



The kids have raved about the new look. I guess it's really flattering because they all keep commenting how pretty I look. :)
