The Last of our Firsts

This is a blog about the “The Last of our Firsts – Our 1 Year mark in the land of the unexpected”

It is hard to believe we have been here exactly 1 year (we landed on PNG soil July 11^th 2011).

 We have done all of our birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and all the community events for the first time now.  Here is a list of some of the firsts over the last year in PNG:

-          The 4^th of July celebrated here for the Americans.  And using brilo steel wool for the fireworks, very pretty and soooo quiet!!!!

-         

-          We have done the first day of school at the new school

-          The first time playing softball, volleyball, and basketball in PNG

Kiery with friends for Sports Day

-          Sports Day for both campuses

-          Encounter for Meliah and Chad (like a youth retreat)

A skit that was done at Encounter that Chad was apart of (Meliah was very embarrassed)

-          First time flying in a Cessna 206 little airplane (still not one of my favorite things)

-          Have done the parent/teacher conference with each of the girls and realized that they had adjusted well and there were some areas that still needed tweeking.
