5 Kids on a Bike! Tim moves his bike from the back yard to the front yard and can't go far without a few stowaways.

Andrea cooking yet another meal for us in her kitchen. This is also a photo to show you the kitchen I get to use for the next 6 months. Yay for an inside kitchen!!!!

Breakfast bunch. Three little girls (2 Ullums and a Svoboda) wait patiently (sorta) for their breakfast.

 Well digging is one of the ways we've been able to begin helping our jungle neighbors along the Jelai Hulu River. Here, Tim, Paul and Phil try to help a guy who has particularly rocky soil. 

As far as they could dig...

 ...sadly, they never did strike water on that visit…

Ullum girls paint their nails on the porch while our little Svoboda girl takes a nap in the other room.

Little Dina Ullum plays with an old, dull (whew!) mini machete.

Feeding Baby Bison to the amusement of a few neighbors

Even in the middle of nowhere'sville our neighbors are proud of their country.

Meeting with our beloved tribal language consultant, Coral. Here we're having what is called a Tribal Kick Off. That means that we've officially begun our tribal living and learning experience. :0) (we're sitting in Pries' kitchen)

 Good kitty takes a break from eating giant spiders.

 YOU try squatting politely while balancing a GIANT 4 month old on your hip - or knee... or wherever he's supposed to balance, for crying out loud! He looks about as thrilled as i feel in this photo. :0)

Another photo of my sleepy, cuddly (far more comfortable) baby boy.
