Merry Christmas From Africa!



Is this not great?!? Bailey's foot after only a few minutes playing on the balcony...and don't think my in-laws house is not clean, because it is! It's so dusty and dirty here that it just covers everything in a matter of minutes! The girls are having an absolute blast getting to play outside so much and they are both covered in dirt by the evening...bath time has a whole different meaning here!



This is a very special picture to us. This is the house Marc and his family moved to when he was just 11 years old. I've heard about this house for so long and to finally get to see it was awesome! Marc had just a huge grin on his face when we walked in, and I got all emotional again. :)

Merry Christmas from us to you!

Glad ya made it safe and sound! Been praying for you. How awesome to see where Marc grew up! We can't even think about going back to some of the place Joel lived. Scary, scary places right now.

Looks like you guys are having a great time! I'm so glad you got to make this trip. How special! Merry Christmas!
Amen to the bath thing! I've never seen my kids dirtier since moving to Kenya. In the States they only needed daily baths in the summer...now it's everyday...should be twice a day!

Is that the house at Ouakam behind the office? Looks like it, but I could be wrong. If so, greet Famara, Martin, and Helene from us (Khady Gueye ak Cheikh Diop).

Y'all have a wonderful (if brown) Christmas!!
