Loved seeing all these pictures! Great family picture- looks like you had a pretty good hike to get there! The Easter eggs look great- so fun that you had what you needed to do this :) I'm surprised that the chameleon doesn't run and hide! And wondering about the miracle in the last picture....
ReplyDeleteI loved this post! That last picture is precious! And Fi with the chameleon~ oh my! Can't wait to hear stories in person!
ReplyDeleteFamily favorite around here is definitely Fred and Fi at dinner. What are you eating - eggs? Our eggs come in cartons like that too - I think 30 count. Love it that you guys have slid right into normal life in sub-sahara.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures~ makes us lonesome for all of you. I believe when you return Fiona will need a pet to keep her entertained:)) Wondering what happen to the little person in the last picture??
ReplyDeleteI must agree--Fiona in her pigtails petting the chameleon while eating dinner makes me laugh out loud:) These are great pictures! Hope you guys had a wonderful Easter--Did Sara think to bring an Easter egg decorating kit?? I'm thinking that is not something you'd find in Africa, but I'm totally impressed if she had the forethought to pack one!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading this, you guys:). The pictures of your family and kids are so great. I also love getting a taste of the culture/environment. Ironically, tonight is Miles's first baseball practice and it's quite likely it will be called off on account of rain:).
ReplyDeleteThat was Molly, but I'm sure Jarod would agree:)
