On the Homefront

I hope you enjoyed a little tour of ministries and meeting some of my friends here in Kenya.  Between that and being sick (which I am getting WAY tired of, by the way!!) I have not really updated much about what is going on here, on the homefront.  

The babies are doing great! They are all growing SO much!! Even tiny baby Hope is sitting! Eli is starting to crawl. Kate can pull herself up and stand. Jeremiah is walking everywhere! And Elizabeth is making HUGE progress and enjoying being a "big girl" and going to school at Heshima.


The staff is also doing well.  We have had a few changes, but things are good. 


Our shamba (garden) is finally doing well, too.  A little more training for our groundskeeper and the rains have done wonders!  Here are a few pictures of the girls in the shamba this afternoon...

This is Hellen, our cook. She also helps tend the shamba.

We are having new goat pens built, too. (Pictures to come soon.) It has been quite an ordeal to find a breeder of our kind of goats in our area. I have resigned to the fact that we will go back to our previous breeder to get our next goats. Hopefully, I will be able to make that trek in the next few weeks. 

Meanwhile, Ellie should be giving birth to her kid (or kids) very soon. Yea! It is her first birth so now she will be able to give us milk for OUR babies!  

So, there ya have it! Update on the homefront of HOH. 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :-)
