A Tour of "For Now" Home

I love handing Colton, our six year old, the camera and asking hime to document events for me because it is always interesting and entertaining to get his perspective.  I asked him to take a couple pictures of our drive out to Idaho from Camas, he took roughly 150 pictures.  I just posted 3, don't worry.

That's me driving down I-84.  Mike's Uncle Mark drove his car out to Idaho for us full of our stuff, and Mike hitched a ride with him.  We had a mini caravan driving down the road.  In our car it was just me, Colton, Macie, and our trusty Dashboard Ninjas.

Colton decided to take a picture of his eyeball...

I love this picture of Macie's little foot, she's just kicked back looking out the window trying to spot windmills in the Columbia River Gorge.  (Yes those stickers are little brains.  She decorated her window all by herself.)

We are currently living in a house that a local family bought solely for the purpose of letting MAF missionaries stay in it when needed.  It is such a blessing to be able to live in this cute little house.  The house is located about a 10 1/2 mile bike ride away from MAF headquarters.  Now that we are a one car family Mike rotates between commuting to work on his bike, and the kids and I driving him to work in the morning.

This house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it feels like a mansion to us right now.  After living in a 1 bedroom apartment for 4 months, and living with friends for the last 3, it feels a bit weird to have this much space to ourselves.

The house even came with a giant book full of pictures of fighter airplanes!  Colton is often found flipping through the pages of this treasure.

The kid's room has bunk beds, which is very exciting.

Colton was very fascinated by the concept of rabbit ears on our tv set.

For all of the "Napoleon Dynamite" fans out there.  "I want that boat."

This is the first time our car has gotten the chance to live in a garage, it's great.  Colton loves to push the button on the remote and is the "official" opener of the garage door.  We do need to be careful when we pull in and remember to take Mike's bike off the top of the car!

Of course, home wouldn't be complete without our Indonesia pile of stuff waiting for us.

The house comes with a nice sized, fenced backyard that is big enough to kick a soccer ball around.  However, we have found that it is easy to loose an airplane over the fence.  The kids have decided that lunch taste better outside in the sun, I agree.

 Thanks for stopping by for our quick tour.
