Pictures on the way!

July 12, 2009

We are in the city for a few days because a few of the kids from the childrens home needed medical care.  What’s crazy is that we had to ride in a 5 seater Landcruiser for 17 hours with 6 children under the age of 8.    How about that for a fun time…   I had [...]

Musse

July 2, 2009

This little dude is a cute kid.  He has a mind of his own and is always curious but in a quite way, he is about 2 years old.

Little Goyiti

June 28, 2009

Goyiti stole my heart on my first trip here in March, she is somewhere between 15 to 20 months old and is such a little cutie.  She has developed a very strong bond with Siretu the head nanny.  Siretu has five grown children of her own and is very good with all the kids we [...]

Finally

June 10, 2009

I can go on and on and bore you with all the details about why this is the first official post from in-country.  Little things like the power being off more that it is on and when it is on the lady at the internet cafe seems to always have the same answer, “no connection” [...]

On Adoption

May 9, 2009

Many of you have emailed to ask about the possibility of adopting the children at the orphanage, we have been blown away by how kind and generous so many people are when it comes to saving children.   I thought I would put a little more here on the blog about the plan in that regard [...]

Very cool!

May 8, 2009

I had the honor of being interviewed on NPR today.  I have listened for a long time and it was really neat to go behind the curtain and see how things come together.  They have an extrodinary system of making you feel comfortable and relaxed.  I think that is why they always get good interviews [...]

- Right

May 6, 2009

Its interesting as we go through this as a family. We are learning one very simple truth.
Easy and right are not the same thing. Often we are doing the right thing and its far from easy and just as often we are totally wrong and everything is smooth sailing.
Makes you think…
