It’s hard to know what pictures and memories to post where. Since I haven’t posted here in a while, I guess this moment is as good as any other to put up here! Sophia has been asking to hold baby Theo each day. Today was the day. At first she wanted to put her arms … [Read More]
Big Girl!
I thought it only fitting that we post a picture of Sophia in her big girl bed! Thank you to Ryan & Rachel for the loan of the bed, Grandma & Grandpa for purple “girly” sheets, and cousin Rilyn for the comforter! The amazing thing to me is that with the freedom of a big … [Read More]
Pregnancy Comparison
One of my friends recently asked if I felt bigger carrying Uhai than I was with Sophia. This is the latest in many questions of how this pregnancy has been different than the last. I didn’t really think I was bigger, so I thought I would take a photo and do a little comparison. The … [Read More]
Christmas Crafts
Sophia and I made a gingerbread house the other day. Well, I guess technically we decorated a gingerbread house (it was already pre-baked). She enjoyed herself especially after she realized that the “glue” tasted so good! Enjoy! [nggallery id=5]

Jesus Loves the Little Children

The Beauty of Law
If any of you have visited Kenya, this post will not be so much of an eye opener to you. But for others, allow me to share my experience on the roads of Nairobi this past Tuesday (3 May). That afternoon, I needed to fill a prescription. Unlike in the US, there are no standing … [Read More]
Job Satisfaction
Part of Joe’s role as team leader this term has been to dismiss employees that we as a team no longer need to employ. This is usually due to the fact that they serve as guards at a house in the bush that we have sold or given over to the churches – thus we … [Read More]
Favor & Mercy
This is God’s story of favor & mercy that comes from Joe’s visit to the two new CCC churches planted near Mombasa. May you be blessed by it. Pastor Moses used to live on the Kenya-Tanzania border near Mt. Kilimanjaro. He shifted with his wife to a small area called Maungu further east in hopes … [Read More]
