We have arrived!

We have arrived safe in Niarobi, and all of our luggage came with us! The flights went by quickly and we are all enjoying our first day here!

Packing starts

Today, I started packing for Tanzania. I got the first suitcase done, Jonathan's. Step one! Now, 8 more suitcases to go. I actually am feeling somewhat prepared and not that stressed really... wow...

David, Kara, Wesley, Isaiah and Selah

This week has gone too quickly...

We have enjoyed our time with our family this week, Bill's brother- David and his family visited. They have 3 children, the same age as our children. Wesley is the same age as Katrina, Isaiah is the same age as Heather, and Selah is the same age as Jonathan.

The kids have spent time all week swimming, fishing, playing, watching videos, and playing the Wii together. We were able to visit Bill and David's sister, Mary, and her family in LaGrange, IN overnight which was so fun. We spent time with Uncle Tom, Aunt Mary, and Bill and David's cousin Doug, and his family- Laura, Hannah, and Ethan. All in all, it's been a great week, and we hate to see them go.
Now, it's really starting to sink in how little time we have left here before we leave for Tanzania. Less than 2 weeks to go...

Up a Tree

Tree Climbing

Today was one of the few days that we didn't have "something" to do. I was working on packing for Tanzania, but I spent a few hours playing outside with the kids at the playground. I found out that Katrina and Heather know how to climb trees! That is something I loved when I was a kid. Jonathan tried out the swing for the first time and he loved it! He kept laughing, and smiling so I guess he liked it.
