N.B. Ha! This time you really should be able to click on the photos to enlarge them... I hope!
We just went down to the beach to draw a map of Jersey in the sand for you. Here it is -- the limpet shell is us (Ouaisne), you can also see some waves, and look -- there's the sun! But what's the blurry white stuff?
It's snow!
Snow!
Quite an event actually, and certainly not a yearly occurrence. So here's another picture, just to prove it:
The following photos were taken in and around Ouaisne Bay...
Sorry for not updating over the past few days. I think we set this blog up last Wednesday, and on Thursday we had some bad news. I wasn't going to post about it, as we'd intended this to be our "fun times on the island" blog (ok, or something!) but then I couldn't quite bring myself to post about anything else anyway. So I thought about it, and I realised that bad things happen -- it's not always going to be fun times on the island -- and we don't stop thinking about the bad stuff , so why would I carry on writing on here as usual?
Anyway. My dad found out last week that he has cancer in one of his kidneys. He's scheduled to have the kidney removed on Feb 10th (in NZ) and then we'll know more. In the meantime, perhaps you guys will think some positive thoughts and say a prayer or two... Thanks!
Some of you have met my parents, Sally and George, but for those of you who haven't, here is a photo of them -- with the two Jameses -- at Mesa Verde (Colorado) last year:

We're sorry to hear about the health problems you're Dad is having. We will certainly be praying. It really does seem like a season of sickness for so many people- it sucks!
whooops- my writer friend will be so said that I used you're in place of your
Sarah,
Today is the day your dad is going through surgery. We pray that his body will already be preparing for recovery and that the doctors are of clear mind and steady hands. May the cancer be contained in this kidney and all future tests will be negative. Health to your dad, peace and strength to your mom and calm to you as you await updates. Take care of her, James. Thank you, Jesus, for this family. Be very near to them wrapping them with your love.
We love you guys and we're thinking of you!
Rachel & Scott
