Mark turned 8 two days ago while we were in Nairobi (July 16th). After more than 15 hours of air travel and 3 days of jet-lag, we were grateful that we celebrated his birthday (with a big cook-out, presents and ice cream cake ) with family before we left. So, our sweet Mark was okay with a big soda pop after dinner today for his birthday treat.
Yesterday we left Nairobi to go to Machakos for our three week orientation. Here are some pictures of us at our guest house.


Mark is a handsome 8-year old! Thank goodness that all the kids are adjusting well and having a good time on the danger-go-round. I miss them very much. Keep posting photos! Love you, sis.
It does my heart good to see these smiling faces!
