Motshane project


Daddy and Kaden working hard, notice Kadens lovely working attire, he either is seen in his cowboy boots or his fireman work boots, as if he doesn't have any other shoes, such a boy!

Doug getting the framing down for the wardrobes in our garage.

The fam helping daddy finishe the project. Doug and Pastor Stan.

Doug has finished these wardrobes/closets for the orphan homes. He was asked by a fellow missionary, Stan Drew to put some wardrobes together for one of our churches that has taken in and supports about 15+ boys. We did the final touches on Saturday and the kids had a blast helping daddy and playing out in the dirt with some of the boys. We have slowed down on some of the kids crusades for now as Doug cannot do it all by himself and me and my belly and back are counting down the weeks til Carsten arrives. We are doing a whole lot with the International Church here as the pastor here is on furlough and Doug was asked to be one of the interim pastors. So that is keeping Doug pretty busy with also teaching at the bible college and doing smaller projects here and there.

September (the rest of the month)



I cannot believe that it is already the first of October! The kids and I decorated for harvest yesterday, as we head into summer here. The seasons are opposite here but I still decorate as if we were home.





Kaden turned three on the 21st and boy is he excited. We have a little rule that the kids cannot chew gum until they are three. He got a batman outfit for his birthday and some other cool things and had his “Super Hero” birthday party this last weekend. About 10 of his little friends came dressed us as some sort of super hero, we even had the “Alpha and Omega” here!!
We are about 9 weeks or so away from the birth of #3 Baby Balocious, as Kaden calls him. We actually have decided on a name though – Carsten (anointed) Timothy (after my dad meaning to honor God) Myers.

My friend Tracey (we are due on the same day, obviously my 3rd, her 1st, right???)
The kids are pretty cute about the baby, they talk to him and kiss my tummy every night. Kylea does the most talking to him, she is so curious and proud that she was a big part of our decision on the final choosing of the name. She is wondering if this baby is going to come out brown since we live in Africa where most of the babies are brown!! I think I set her straight on that one. Pregnancy is going well I feel huge and am still having trouble with vein issues in my legs ahhhhhhh!
Doug is busy lately doing my “honey do list”, as he informs me I must be nesting! Anyways, he is helping to build wardrobes (closets) for seven orphan homes for one of our churches, so he is either playing “Bob the Builder” or “Tim the Tool Man” either way he is pretty handy and super busy with some of the work projects going on here. Good thing he is so handy with all of this stuff, thanks dad Myers!!
