Where We Live

Here are a few photos of the house and yard we are living at.  Some of the plants in our yard are familiar to me.  Like the poinsettia below.  I have never seen it as a tree though!! Just the little house plants we can get at Christmas time.




Growing up we had this plant at home.  We called it a Christmas cactus because it bloomed like this at Christmas time.


Roses!



A type of Daisy I think


Not sure about the rest of these.  Maybe someone could post what they are :)




  

Our Back door to the right of the picture.  Straight ahead are three extra rooms.  Lots of room for company hint hint!!


Front Door.  Cameron's room is the window above.  Our bedroom window is top left of picture

    I'm enjoying your blog and email on the bus into work this morning. You seem to be well taken care of...

    I think of you over there everytime I have McDs (fairly often) - it's my "remembrance mode" like we heard about at Airdrie special meetings last year.

    You were asking about the flowers... Well, if I remember correctly (from all my botany classes), I'm pretty sure you've got some pansies, an orchid, a venus fly trap, and some lesser-known, spotted, Ethiopian dandelions there. You're welcome.

    It's great to have a visual of where you now call home. Doesn't look like you'll need to plant any flowers in your yard any time soon. We spotted your family picture hanging (a smidge high!) in the dining room, nice that you were able to take that along....however we don't see our picture up anywhere!! =)

    I am so excited to find your blog! We met the school teacher's mother in MT while traveling (sorry I am bad at names & can't seem to find her address/name) but we have 2 adopted children from ET and have traveled twice to Addis Ababa! Our adopted children have only been with us 2 years and since then Carolyn was in our field, working on her Amharic with Eden, our ET daughter!! I love to see your picts and think so often of the ministry there!! I remember seeing poinsettias as well when we visited ET and was in awe of how large they were!!

    Hi! I am JoLena's sister here in Minnesota. Thanks for taking such good care of her! It's good to have a network in a different place. Thanks for all the pictures that gives insight to the area! It kind of reminds me of Arizona, where we used to live. Keep posting!! Claudia Timmann
