Some More Photos

An orphaned baby elephant. This one is for Emma and Kayla - Isaiah and Nate's cousins in Chicago. It is also interesting that Elephants are pregnant for an average of 22 months. After carrying a baby that long, it's sad to think something happened to this little guy's mother. This was taken at the elephant orphanage in Nairobi several weeks ago.

Isaiah says, "I want YOU! ... to come and play in the mud with me!"

One of the many beautiful plants in and around our home. Even when it is dry, God has created such beauty.


Isaiah and his new found past-time (climbing trees). He's not as good as his new friends Baraka and Nema. He's got a few scrapes to prove it, but he's getting better all the time and he loves every minute of it!
You can see how dry it is here - most of that brown stuff behind the kids is grass - green when it rains.


Nate, aka "danger baby," has is the youngest kid to get in the act. He loves following his big brother but does need considerably more help climbing trees. He is more content digging in the sandbox, or swinging on our porch swings.


This is a photo of our house here at Scott. It has a beautiful front porch and is really nice inside. It also has both a roof water tank and a rain tank so thankfully we won't have to worry about no water - unless things get really bad. That is Gregg and Kim Okesson's Land Cruiser that we are borrowing for the year. -Thanks Gregg and Kim, driving an automatic is so much easier than trying to learn how to shift left handed! You are a blessing.



We have no idea what kind of bird this is, but we have a few of them around. They are huge and they are very loud- It seems they enjoy waking us up in the mornings! :)
