Enjoying the Offspring!

I have truly enjoyed my day with the kids!!! Acacia’s friend, Anya, has been here most of the day and the two girls have had fun with baking! Kevin spent most of the day running around with his friend Jesse, but when Jesse suddenly had to return home, Kevin decided he would make pancakes!!!!! So, instead of a quick nap this afternoon, I found myself in the kitchen assisting the process of making chocolate chip cookies and pancakes!!! Yum. Yum.


My little bakers and I in our kitchen.


Kevin thoroughly enjoyed making and cooking his pancakes. He gave some to a friend who had a birthday today--now that's a unique birthday present!!








All the makings for yummy pancakes from the recipe from our sonlight curriculum book, "Nate, the Great".




Tonight will be quite a different night. Geoff left at 4:45 this afternoon traveling to Kampala International Hospital with our new nurse, Jenny, and Caleb & Alair Mitchell. Caleb has been very sick for some time and is not improving. We arranged for him to be seen by a specialist who agreed to see him at 6:30 tonight. They will all need to stay in town as it is too dangerous to drive after dark. The kids and I are keeping Nico, the 3-yr-old of the Mitchell’s. In addition, Anya will also be staying over with us, so the house will be full of children! What a joy it will be as we have borrowed a Thomas the Tank Engine video to help keep Nico feeling “at home.” With all the sickness and trips to the Dr. lately, he’s been feeling a bit out of sorts. We ask that you pray for the Mitchell family as they have been struggling with their health since Christmas.


Nico is enjoying Kevin's pup tent as he sorts the Thomas the Tank Engine playing cards.
