• Our little world traveler is growing up

  Avery is already in need of a passport renewal. Had to share a pic of her passport pictures that show the difference of what a few years makes.
  

• Fun times in the U.S.

  We have had a great week in the U.S. and wanted to share some pics. Avery has enjoyed getting to play with Nana and Pops. One of her favorite activities is having tea parties with Nana. Larson loves getting to play with some of Avery’s old baby toys we stored away. He has handled all he pink really well. We are looking forward to visiting Tulsa next week and spending time with Grandmum and Grandad.

• We made it!

  Whew, we made it to the U.S.! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your prayers. They were felt big time. The kids did much better than we were preparing for. They both were exhausted but thankfully were pretty well behaved which I am sure those around us appreciated. We all went to bed at 6pm last night and are feeling much better today. Can’t wait to see and reconnect with many of you all.

• Just 48 hours…

  It is hard to get my mind around the fact that we only have two days left in Kenya for the rest of this year. We just had a fantastic dinner with a bunch of friends and it really hit how this is home now and how we will miss it dearly. Please keep us all in your prayers for continued patience with each other, good rest prior to the trip, as much rest as possible on the planes and for general health and safety during our long travel days.

  Here is a look at one of the many things we will miss, the amazing beauty of God’s creation.

• Rainy season is here!

  Much needed rain has come to Kenya. Avery has enjoyed getting to play out in the rain with her gum boots and umbrella. We still need to work a bit on the part about staying under the umbrella to stay dry.

• PRAISE- Larson’s passport arrived!

  Posted: May 9, 2011, 12:54 pm by Taylor

  This morning Taylor called the U.S. Embassy to apply for an emergency passport to only be told that Larson’s passport and other paperwork had arrived! This is a huge praise and we thank you all for your prayers!

• The countdown begins….

  Two weeks from today we will begin our journey to the States for our home assignment. It is a bittersweet time as our first term comes to an end and we prepare to say “tutaonana badaye” to friends and our life here in Kenya.

  We would love your prayers for extra energy to get our ever increasing to-do lists done, for extra doses of patience with each other, and for safe and as smooth as possible travels.

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.
