Pictures from the last month

Here are a few photos of things around Kijabe.



Here are the Kids at the entrance to Kijabe. There is only one paved road that comes into the town.
Titchie Swot is the Elementary School that Luke, Tracy and Emily go to. They started school today.


A really cool swing at the RVA playground. I think that Luke and Tracy are the ones on the swings.


Our house from the backyard.


A view from our back porch.


A playhouse for the girls in the front yard of our house.




Baxter standing by two large Bougainvilleas in our backyard.


The kids at Village Market (a mall) in Nairobi. Looks pretty western. The girls finished a Dr. Pepper which was quite a find and the first one they have seen since we arrived here. I would like to add that the Dr. Pepper (1 can) cost 130 Kenyan Shillings or $2.00. We won't be having many of those!





Baxter, Luke and Tracy playing in the yard between our house and the neighbors house.


One of Tracy and Emily's friends found this chameleon so she let us all hold it. I chose not too but the kids said it felt really cool!


This is our new puppy, Carly. The puppy is a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. I know my sister will understand why we named her Carly but apparently no one else is familiar with the book "Good Dog Carl". Our puppy is a girl so we named her Carly

Thank you so much for posting some pictures. It is good to see your smiling faces! Please continue to post pictures. If we can't be there with you at least we can see what it is like. Love you, even in Africa, Aunt Jane

The picture of the girls playhouse in the front yard we thought you were going to say it was your bathroom we were concerned for you guys! Kennedy was very excited to see Tracy and Emily and wanted to know if we were going Africa to see you guys. We miss you
