Crazy Instagram

, ,

I'm sure most of you have heard of the social service called Instagram. It's a service that users can upload photos/videos and share with Facebook or Twitter and to your Instagram feed. 

It's really great because it's not Facebook! It's a simple service with a simple function allowing you to focus on one important feature -- photos. 

Noelle and I both love it. I thought it would be fun to show you some of our favorites. 

You can follow us on Instagram here: Jacob and Noelle 

Oh my sweet Jack!

#Repost @iriscambodia ・・・ A few of the kids from our Dream Centre in Sihanoukville took a special trip to Liberty Ranch to learn about horse care. It was beautiful watching them lean in and begin to trust and then eventually pet, clean their hooves and even take a little stroll around the property. I think we’ve got ourselves a new ministry. Thanks to @elizmoreland and @kholbeche for activating your gifts today! Stay tuned for some more photos!

I met a stallion this morning.
Jason, Sovy and I met with officials from the Department of Social Affairs and Youth Rehabilitation this week. We feel it’s so important to connect with the local government on a regular basis in order to strengthen our relationship and to collaborate together on ways to combat human trafficking in the Sihanoukville area. តំណាងឲ្យអង្គការបេសកកម្មទូទាំងពិភពលោក សូមអរគុណដល់លោក សម សភា ប្រធានមន្ទីរ និង លោក វូ សាវិនអនុប្រធានមន្ទីរសង្គមកិច្ច អតីតយុទ្ធជន និង យុវនិតិសម្បទា ខេត្តព្រះសីហនុ សម្រាប់ការចំណាយពេលជួបសំណេះសំណាលជាមួយពួកយើង៕ ពួកយើងពិតជាមានសេចក្ដីសោមនស្សរីករាយខ្លាំងណាស់ដែលបានចូលរួមសហការណ៍ក្នុងការប្រយុទ្ធប្រឆាំង និង ទប់ស្កាត់ការរំលោភបំពាន និងការជួញដូរមនុស្សក្នុងខេត្តព្រះសីហនុ៕

These were shot right before Aaron came to live with us back in February 2011. Seems like ages ago — love my Aaron. #adoption #cambodia

One of my favorite treats mid-month is distributing tips from our generous guests at the cafe. I just love it 😊

Back to back meetings today but this was by far my favorite. Meeting with our incredible Khmer staff that make things happen. Love them! #iriscambodia

Headed back home with an extra family member.

I am so proud of my Caleb. I was probably more nervous than he was — tooth fixed, no shot needed and we had one heck of a dentist who was able to drill without Caleb knowing what he was doing. Glad that’s done!

While there are dentists in Sihanoukville, introducing them to Caleb at this age isn’t going to happen. So...a short 4hr drive to Phnom Penh is currently underway to Roomchang (thanks to a broken tooth) which happens to be one of the best dentists I’ve ever been to and they are super good with kids. They may be 4hrs away, but I’m really thankful we have access to a good dentist because the doctors, well, that’s another story. This is real life in Cambodia folks 😬 #Cambodia #dentisttime

Loved talking to this human last night....even though she didn’t want her picture taken. 😂 Miss you!! @kargobroom

My dad will hate my posting this picture but I just had to do it. My dad regularly takes time to listen to me share ALL my things and then he prays for me. It’s just the best recipe for a good night’s sleep and I was happy to take him up on it last night. ❤️

Happy birthday to my big, little brother! In many ways, he is the stranger and yet more mature one. 😂 He is a phenomenal Dad and husband, faithful and inspiring follower of Jesus, hardworker, jack-of-all-trades, and beautifully creative. I have respect for him in spades and feel beyond privileged to be his sister. Yet I will always know him first as the silent little boy who bit everyone, called me Nole, and once got my hamster stuck in his pants. Have a great day, Allan! We love you. (P.S. Not real hair) 😊❤️ @coloradohiker

Happy anniversary to my best friend and love. Ten years into our marriage, I am so grateful for Jacob’s continued, joyful choosing of me and our family. I feel more loved, more known, more free, more safe, more fully myself than I did 10 years ago. What an incredible gift to have each other as a safe haven in the midst of life’s storms, challenges and adventures. My dad wrote me a birthday letter this year and my favorite part was this: “I am so thankful for the man you chose to be your husband—I never fear for your well-being because of Jacob.” It’s so true and I don’t take it for granted. I love you, Jacob! ❤️

Never a dull moment here. This morning when I went to bring Caleb to his classroom we discovered two children and a teacher’s assistant locked inside. The main teacher and the rest of the class were locked outside. It was quite a team building time with about 10 adults and 15 iPhone flashlights working the problem. In the end, breaking the door handle was the solution. 😂 I love this adventurous life. #calebdaniel

When your son buys you ice cold coconut water from his favorite snack shop and it’s the most delicious thing you’ve had all day. #aaronsambath

If you aren’t sure what to do on New Year’s Day, try this. It’s fun. 😂 #killingtime #latergram #newgameswithdaddy #jacksonbruce
I had such a wonderful birthday. From start to finish it was filled with my favorite, relaxing things. Sleep, letters from my dad, videos from my brother and fam, coffee, exercise, friends, the beach, and good food. Thanks to all of you for filling me up with such kind words. Thanks to my hubby for celebrating me well and encouraging me to become more fully who God created me to be with each year. And thanks to my kids who grow me in the most surprising ways and whose love is the sweetest treasure. Thank you, God, for this day to live fully. I love you with my whole heart and I’m so glad I belong to You. #birthdays
