Friday, 19 January 2007. Christmas this year was an amazing blessing of family and friends! The phone rang in the fall."Te invito a mi cena de Navidad, pero en tu casa." (I invite you to my Christmas dinner, but in your house! Music to my ears! Main street Jarabacoa, in front of our church on Christmas Eve. We had a fun service that morning. Our pastor's wife (also fellow Kids Alive missionaries), Fefa, made Christmas dresses for Micah and Chase. Christmas Eve - the gange at our house after church! And i...

Tuesday, 23 January 2007. Christmas in the Dominican Republic - Micah. This is a little summary Micah wrote about Christmas here. Christmas in the Domincan Republic. In the Dominican Republic Christmas is celebrated in a different way. The three dates I write about are the important dates celebrated here. The second date is Navidad or Christmas. It is celebrated in family time. They shoot off lots of fireworks and enjoy the leftovers from Christmas Eve. These are all teh dates I have to tell you about.

Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Melon of the month. Dennis and Abby came for dinner on Sunday and can you believe this is a cantaloupe? It was only $2 also which was great. Even after having a fruit salad with it and Tom's been eating it all week (I actually don't like it), there is still half of it left. Very economical fruit! Posted by Jessi @ 7:47:00 PM. Posted by Jessi @ 7:23:00 PM. I go between two of the clinics, but am mostly based at the Alexandria building. Posted by Jessi @ 7:21:00 PM. Tom and I now ...

Tuesday, 23 January 2007. Christy (my sister) and her husband Joss Dumas came from Paris. with precious Alma (7mo). We had a quick night at our house, and then headed up to Playa Bonita on the north coast. We rented a house and shared lots of fun walks and swims, paddles and games with Christy, Joss, Nana and Papa. just a bunch of pics. We had a feast beyond feasts on New Years Eve - Vic served up some fresh shrimp appetizers. We toasted the old year and gave thanks with foie gras (fatted goose liver!

Friday night we attended a beautiful wedding here. but the prep started Friday morning after school (it was early dismissal after Christmas parties!

Chase and I went to the salon to get her hair done! A first for the Trautwein family. but truly a common Dominican experience! And th...

Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Tom decorated for my bday! Tom had balloons all the way up the stairs to our apartment!

Thanks guys! One of the better patches "Happiness is camping at OREGON". Can you believe Tom even surprised me by making a cheescake? Sunday, February 19, 2006.

Sunday, April 30, 2006. Coming to an end. I paid our last rent check yesterday.I wish I would have taken a picture. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have that done. Sorry Dennis and Abby, and I think Pamela too, and whoever else is voting for "Stay put in DC" on our poll.this area is just too stinking expensive! Exciting but anxiety rasising, as we have a LOT to get done. Posted by Jessi @ 11:02:00 AM. Friday, April 28, 2006. Well, I've got a job in Oregon! Can't wait to get to Oregon! Tom decided t...
