New* Van

Here is our new* van


* New to us that is. See store for details.

Moravia

And some more

Due to some great dumpster hauls lately, Zafaran discovered fresh mango. She was very excited about it. It also makes great baby hair gel.

News from the Moravians

Zafaran in all her glory, now she can sit up well to have baths in the sink.

We got the "big ride" working and now we go on family bike rides. Here, the girls and I went to Bible study and I took a bunch of tea stuff for the meeting. The girls had a great time sitting in the back "making tea" looking for all the world like two little old ladies, then fell asleep on the way home. Moravia is sporting her new haircut that means mama accidentally cut it too short; but it turned out really cute and stylish, if you are an amish boy. I call her Ezra.

Pictures from Kenya

So, here we are finally posting some pictures of our new existence. I'm not sure they will be the most revealing, but there will be more to come. Below is the chicken pen Debbi is so happy about.


And here is Shadrach, eating a watermelon (duh). He's just started really swallowing food in the last few days. This is in our courtyard, with a bathroom off one side, bedrooms off the other, and a door to the rest of the house.

We took a trip to a giraffe park down the road from Omondi's, which cost us all of 200 shillings, but was really great. Some rich giraffe lovers back in the day decided to save the Rothschild giraffe, which I guess was going extinct, and now all they have to show for it is this educational giraffe place and a bunch of brush. Other than the giraffes surviving, of course. Their mansion has been turned into a hotel, where you can feed giraffes out the bedroom windows, and which appears on TV from time to time.

Beth Hollopeter's wedding was at a beautiful spot down by the river, close to Thika. This pic is of Beth with Kefa's Dad, and Kefa with his Mom. I met George's parents here too.

And here are the children, cooking away in our fireplace. Just in case someone has forgoten what they looked like.
So that's all folks. For now. Next time I'll try to get some from church and the guest house. Love to all.
