We're back in the land of blogging!

Alrighty...so we may have underestimated our ability to maintain a blog. Apparently you have to write things now and then and we are amazingly good at putting that off!
BUT we are prepared to give it another shot!! YAY! Part of our problem may have been that we felt the need to write about huge exciting things and now that we are in some what of a routine, big exciting things don't seem to happen quite as often....SO our blogs will now be about things that happen in our normal day. Hopefully some of you will find that interesting!?!

To get you a little caught up...here are some of the things we've learned so far:

-Pineapples grow on low spiky bush like plants...NOT trees.
-Peanuts that come right out of the ground don't actually taste like a peanut. Apparently it has to be roasted first before it tastes like the familiar nut we all know and love. (AND...this just in...raw peanuts can grow a deadly fungus! Good reason to roast them!)
-96% of dogs are NOT friendly.
-A banana tree will only produce one bunch of bananas.
- If you are a child and haven't seen a white person before...we are very very scary!
- There is a difference between sugar fruit, passion fruit, and tree tomatoes...even though they still all look the same to me!
-The local tribal language sounds like it's about 90% vowels, 6% consonants, and 4% grunts. (Thank goodness we can communicate in Pidgin instead!)
- Sarcasm does not translate.
-Everyone despises the Chinese for their cheap products.
-Everything moves a little slower in PNG. Jordan's new rule is to estimate the time to finish something and then double it.
-There is no such thing as standing in line. You just work your way to the front of the crowd to get what you need.
-Be mindful of the babies you hold, some of them are....well...some of them are not properly "sealed"
-AND most importantly...God is SO faithful!


Hopefully we'll have more blogs soon!! :)
