Random Pictures from a few weeks ago....

Before Michelle came out, we spent five days at Peter and Faith's. They are the founders and directors of Happy Life Children's Home. They have taken very good care of us while we have been out here.
On this day, Sundi got to go to school with Abby and Tim, Peter's five-year-old twins. She was super excited. As she had to leave at 6:30 (and we all know how much I love early mornings...) I let her sleep with Abby and their nanny, Freida, got her ready for school. I was staying in their guest house across the driveway. I could hear Sundi yelling, "Whoop! Whoop!" as they all got ready for school. She was so happy. Not sure homeschooling is gonna work for this girl. She is just very social! Not sure, though, that this mommy is ready to give up seven hours a day to anyone, especially another teacher...we'll see.
My little tough guy. Damon is rough and tough, but inside, he is such a sweetie. (Looks like he has a dress on doesn't it?)
On Saturday, we went to a place called Village Market. It has a mini water park. This is the kiddie pool. Man, was it cold. Couldn't keep the kids out of the water, but they were blue by the time we left. People don't heat their pools in Kenya...even when it is cool outside.
Okay, this one is from last Saturday. This bench was really fun. It had little dents in it for your bum. We were testing it out when a man walked up and offered to take our picture. My one thought when I look at this...isn't Damon a beast of a kid???

And now, about our day: Not really a whole lot to report. Sundi is starting to catch on that Daddy is coming. She keeps saying, "Daddy, hapa(here)? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (with three syllables not two.)"
Heard from the courts today. Seems they want to split our case and appoint Sundi's guardian in January and Damon's in February. Hopefully our lawyer can at the least get them both on the same day so that Jeromy only has to be here for one interview and not two. Not that I don't want him here as much as possible, but it is costly to fly and take time from work. Ah, but we shall just have to wait and see how that all goes. We will keep you updated.
Sundi, Damon, and I tried to make cookies for Jeromy today. Blah...I used a box mix for which the directions were in CHINESE!! I know, right! Here we are in Kenya, and I manage to get a box mix for cookies where the directions are in CHINESE! So, yeah, I took a guess...not a very good guess, they ended up a flat, sticky mess. Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right???
So, that's our day. Oh, on a side note (this is for Nicole and all the other mothers out there engaging in the wonderful adventure of potty training...I was in the bathroom today, thinking, hmmm, I better take Damon it the toilet soon...well, I walked out and he was standing in front of a pool of pee-pee clapping his hands and saying, "yeah!!!!" I think he is a little confused!
