Welcome to our World, Jadynn

I'm sure all of you were wondering what happened to our blog since we haven't updated it in a while; we've got a good excuse...we've become parents.

On December 14, 2007 Jadynn Clarice Bachman was born at 10:57am at Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in the U.K.

Here's a picture of our new family at the hospital:



I'm sure all of you were also wondering if Robynn ever finished the rocking chair from our last blog entry. Well, the day she put on the finishing touches, she went into labor, so it was His perfect timing :)

Here's the finished product with Jadynn and mum enjoying their time together:



Adjusting to being parents and students at the same time has brought its challenges, but we've been able to get through it so far with the Father's help. Classes are going great as we're continuing to learn the practical skills we might need for living overseas, such as Linguistics (for language learning), husband/wife and parent/child relationships, and Technology Tips, which is "do-it-yourself" construction and electricity for building a house.

Here's Jonathan creating light with a few tools, some wires, and a battery:



Jadynn attends classes with us, but she usually just sleeps through the lectures:



With the added responsibilities of parenthood, Robynn has learned to multi-task as never before (here, she's doing laundry):



We're looking forward to our future work and where we might serve:



Please continue to keep us in your thoughts.
