Open wide! I think Kadence has her mouth open a quarter
of each day as she is an eating machine. She eats often,
and she eats a lot. She equals her Daddy in consumption of food
many times during meals.

These next series of pictures are at the O.M. center where
our team in Lushnje hosted our annual O.M. team
Christmas party. Two other teams came and we enjoyed a great
night of food, fellowship, games, a white elephant gift game,
and singing Christmas carols. Jamie, myself, and Jess
(a single from Australia on our team) where in charge of putting
the whole thing together. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun.







Ok, I (Tim) just put these first two pics of Kadence and Kya because
they are so darn cute! I love them so much and Jamie and I
are so blessed to have happy, content daughters that play well
with each other and are just fun to be around.
(The fun part they got from their Dad! haha..)
Although, part of that fun includes bumps and bonks.
Here Kadence has a busted front lip from playing.


Many times throughout the day and night there will be kids setting
off loud firecrackers all over the city and frequently right outside our flat.
They woke Kya up this night so she came out and fell asleep on the
couch. Kids are so flexible. They can fall asleep almost anywhere
and at anytime....and in any position. So for you thirty-plus people
reading this (like myself), don't try this at home.



What was I saying about kid's falling asleep?
This is what happens when you miss your nap.



Kya is getting into music more and more, which of course
we couldn't be more happy as parents about that. Her latest
OBSESSION is with a band called Fireflight. They are a harder
rock band with a female vocalist. (If you haven't heard them
before, then get into them if you enjoy that style of music.
They are about equivalent to what Skillet sounds like only
with a girl singing) Anyways, Kya really likes this song.
The chorus says "You gave me your promise" and you can
hear her singing it with the music. She asks for it morning,
noon, and night. So what Kya wants, Kya gets....just kidding.
But we do play it quite often, sometimes even at 7:30 in the
morning we'll blast it and dance rock out together!
