Dear family and friends...

We are happy to share that there is a little Koski on the way!

It is due to arrive in July.

Miriam is very excited and asks lots of questions : ) 

New House

Here are a few views of our new place, starting with the backyard.

Here is the dining room...

And the kitchen.

Then we have the living room...

and the entry/hallway,

which leads to the courtyard/car port area.

Here is another view from the front gate.

And finally, here's Miriam in her birthday dress from Auntie Sara and Auntie B. Thank you!

Camping at Lake Naivasha

Two weekends ago we were able to get out of Nairobi for a couple nights at Lake Naivasha with Kristen, Ryan and Caleb.

Check out the size of this geranium!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This is a bit belated but for Grandma/Mom for her birthday:

eating loquats

carrying her 2 babies and a sock monkey

Papa holding Miriam up to see the baby elephants at the orphanage. Unfortunately, there were so many people, we only got small glimpses of the little elephants.

And this picture was worth posting for her pose alone : ) Miriam is watching a fisherman emptying the catch from his nets at Lake Naivasha.

Hi there- its been awhile!

After over a month of orientation, of sleeping in many different beds, of eating meals in many different dining rooms, and of learning so many new things, we have been given a place to land.
We are now in Nairobi and temporarily living at an AIM compound, specifically,
the Muringa Compound in house #5.
As of today we have been here for 2 weeks and have thoroughly
enjoyed having a place to call "home".
Here is a little photo tour...

 starting with a picture of the house. We reside on the right half.

Here is our new wheels- a Pajero.
And below are a few pictures of inside the house.

Jonathan just completed his first week at the hangar and Miriam and I have been meeting new people, finding places to get fruits and veggies, figuring out the area and learning as much Swahili as we can.
