The Home Stretch

       The last couple of weeks have flown by. We got back from the retreat and had 2 weeks before everyone went to Greece for a Doctors program. During these two weeks we celebrated Rebecca's and Ben's birthdays, and spent time with the high school kids who were still on break. We finished up preschool (which was so relieving and sad at the same time) and went to the hospital to visit the sick kids in PEDS. We had to say goodbye to so many people already because we will leave before all the families get back to Tenwek. Right now we are staying with 4 adopted Kenyan children until their parents return from Greece in a few weeks. Hannah is 7 and Shaddy, Ellie, and Esther are 4. While being a "mother" is super tiring, I have had the best time getting to love on these kids. Rebecca and I are going to have the hardest time saying goodbye for sure. These are my babies! Shaddy and Esther doing the dishes. Esther being carried traditional Kenyan style. All the kids reading before bed. Gotta love 'em.
