Our 2nd full day
We woke up today around 5:30 am. The birds start in on their chorus around 6 am here. Whole family up by 6:30. I think getting up 3 hours before church is a record for us. Yesterday, as we were leaving the mall in Nairobi where we were able to purchase internet...
We’re off…and here finally.
So, as promised, we'll update as soon as possible. Since we're sitting here in PDX and there is definitely wi-fi, I decided to get started on turning my blag back to a good 'ol fashioned blog again. We made it to the airport, and through security without any...
When the going gets crazy..the crazy get going?
About 6 weeks ago I wrote out a week by week to-do list for Ian and I so that we could spread out the work of all of the big and little details that would need to be taken care of before our move to Africa TOMORROW. This was a good thing to do, I am easily...
Cute ‘lil thing
We've finally succumbed and have become a 2 computer family...that is 2 computers completely owned by us. We decided to look into a netbook for me...cute, little and just the right price for looking on the internet and blogging. What else does one really do...
Blag
That's my new made up word for blah blog. I'm in a writers funk. I've got plenty to write about...but I've temporarily misplaced the camera, and our recent adventures just wouldn't be much fun to write about without...

For the second middle of the night in a week I have been awokened but that voice from the other room half crying half yelling, "Mooooommmmeeee, I threw up." I tried to explain to the neighbor across the street who doesn't have kids yet (or maybe never after talks...
Voodoo and other fun
My twin brother Andy, his wife Kori, and our mom all came to visit us over Spring Break. We scheduled in a few chores: updating our computer with awesome software, pawning off some of the things in our house so they wouldn't have to be packed, and visiting an...
Random funnies
We use a lot of OUST spray in this house. Right now I have the citrus version that is a disinfectant and a sanitizer. Sometimes I read labels, just for fun. On cereal boxes, pretty much anything. It's a strange habit, I know. Today, I read the OUST label. On...
In retrospect
Today is 3/29/2009. I sat in church this morning and the last song in the set was Blessed Be Your Name. We don't sing this song a great deal at our church, I can recall that we have sung it exactly 2 other times since Sunday, August 24, 2008. Now before you go...
SOLD!
Well, not sold, sold....but we have sold someone on how cute our house is...and have found a renter! What a blessing to find a responsible, credit worthy, tenant worthy person in under a week! What a blessing too to have wonderful friends who have stepped up to...
