The kids

The complete Smith family...at least for now!
Our friends from Kenya visits us. She is 14 and scored only nine points lower than the top kid on her high school entrance exam in Kenya.

Damon's first play in the snow!



Sundi had a blast making her first "snow man." Really it was a snow heap, but she loved "him" just the same!



Mommy and Sundi making chipati, daddy's favorite Kenyan treat!

"Driving" with Daddy.


Big Sister, Sundi.


Becca gave Sundi a ballerina set for Christmas...added to some things from a friend, she has had a blast being a little dancer.





"Happy Birthday to Jesus!"

Damon really celebrates CAKE!

This was Tom, Aidan, Daddy and Jasiri Christmas morning.

way over due....

So, we are so sorry it has been so long since we have blogged. I think we probably lost a bunch of people in the transition, but it has not been easy having a little one with the issues that Jasiri has had. In short, he developed GERD and has been a pretty sick little guy. His reflux has been so severe that I (kim) have had to hold him upright all day and all night. Even the recline of the car seat was too much for him. However, he is improving and life is getting somewhat normalized. So, we hope to do better from here on out. I know, we said that before, but at that point, we had no idea the issues we would be facing. So, here we are to catch you up. Tonight it is Baby's turn. Damon and Sundi to follow tomorrow or Friday.


So tiny.


First bath.
