Hi, just a quick note to let you all know that we are fine. Anite is back with us tonight from Kibera. We are thankful for her life. The stories she can tell are straight from a horror film. Sleeping at night is very tough for her as the memories plague her. Keep her in your prayers. I cannot imagine the small children as they try to reason what they have seen. I fear a deep seed has been planted. What a tragedy.

I am adding a few more pictures as promised. Not much has changed since we last wrote. Still waiting to see what next week brings to Kenya. We fear the rallies and the consequent violence, but we feel like the people see it as their only hope for justice. What a quandary.

It’s late again, so it’s short again. I miss you guys. If you think of it, write me. Sometimes a little note from home goes a long way.

Damon's first dip.


Zawadi. She is adopted as well. Her mom is a teacher at Daystar. She is so polite. You try to put her in the water and she screams, "No, tank you, no tank you!" (I am thinking about calling "damon" "Zawadi" instead-what do you think? Post your opinions...


This is Kimtai, Sundi is going to marry him when they grow up!


Pizza!
Doesn't seem to like pizza!

I thought this was the funniest thing all day. Damon with his hiney stuck inside of a life ring... He loved it!


Does it get cuter???

You have become heros of the faith you guys! (I am Vickie, Kimberly Bronte's friend. Jeromy, we met on KB's birthday. We are in an adoption process ourselves...West Africa).

I am so proud of you. Friends and family of mine visit your blog daily. We are all praying.

God is faithful, loving and kind. He is also big and the definition of multi tasking! All that to say...do not feel guilty about asking for prayer regarding your adoption. None of this is bigger than the Lord. He is in control. We continue to pray for Kenya, her people and your adoption.

You are brave and courageous. I look forward to the day when I can 1.hug and greet your children
2.introduce your children to mine

KB was visiting a few weeks ago...we talked about you and prayed for you as well.

Stand...
