Coming to an end

As our ten year old daughter put it, “I have mixed feelings about going home to the States.”  I agree.  I also had to giggle that she now refers to us going back home “to the States.”  That is a world traveler for you! Well, a week from today, we will be on the final […]

Our Children

We have three plus three kiddos!  The Lord has blessed us with three wonderful biological children.  And those three lovely children hand picked three children to add to our family.  The three “extra” kiddos obviously don’t live with us.  They don’t claim our last name.  They don’t even live in our country.  Their pictures are […]

Safari pics

 A little late but I am finally having success in uploading pictures.  Do you see the massive croc ?  Our guide told us it was the biggest he had seen.  It looked lifeless and we all were leaning over the edge of the boat to get a good look.  Seconds after this pic was taken, […]

Going ons

Greetings from Zambia! We are doing very very very well here in Africa.  The time is truly flying by.  We have been here exactly one month and will leave 4 weeks from today. I celebrated my 39th birthday Zambian style on 22 June.  Apparently the Zambians find it great fun to “spill water” on the […]
