Pictures

I feel compelled to write a whole blog entry on this subject because I really thought we’d be posting more pictures than we are.  There are many reasons for their absence. First of all, we don’t have many pictures from around town because people here don’t like to have their pictures taken.  Bummer!  And we’ve really seen some things we’d like to take pictures of!!  We just have to be more diligent about taking our camera out with us and then hopefully capturing what we can without anyone noticing.  And there is more to catch than just people.  For example, today coming back from town we saw a big fuel truck and in big red letters on the back it says “Highly Inflammable”.  Hmmm… Second of all, 99% of our time is spent at the campsite and Jonathan has already posted pictures from around here.  Now there’s nothing else to see really.  I do realize (and have heard) that you want to see pictures of us.  This is very against our nature.  We never think to take pictures of ourselves but we will.  We promise.  We keep saying we need to take pictures during meals and class but we keep forgetting to take the camera with us.  I really wanted to do that today since I just washed my hair but I’ll wash it again before we leave…I’m pretty sure…  J Thirdly, the internet connection is so extremely slow that I have spent my entire time there before trying to post pictures and being unsuccessful.  And I don’t actually go to town as often as Jonathan does so I don’t have many opportunities to post blog entries and pictures and such.  Hopefully we’ll get so caught up on email and blog posts that we’ll also have time to upload pictures.   And I guess there’s no “fourth of all” except to say that we will also post belly pictures.  We took our first one recently this week (I’m 14 weeks tomorrow) so we’ll post that soon.  I really felt like I was beginning to show and from up here looking down it looks big to me!  But then I looked at the picture and it’s really not that big.  It’s wild because I can lie down on my back and put my hands on my tummy and feel a little round bump.  Hee hee…   But I digress.  That’s the story on the pictures and we do hope to get better about this.  I realize how fun it would be to see through our eyes and we hope to provide that opportunity!  The longer we’re here the better we’ll get – especially when we’re off the campsite.  Eek.  And I promise to post more than baby pictures.  J
