Our friends, the Omondi's, stopped by to visit us on their way through Nakuru on their vacation. It was so great to see them! Anjela and Julia are quite a pair! They are so very much alike. I get an uncanny glimpse into what Julia might very well be like in another year or so. They are just over a year apart.
While they were here, we took some time to go to Thomson Falls near Nyahururu. I have heard about them and wanted to go for some time. Absolutely beautiful.
It was so great to have some relaxed down time to talk to Allison. They have been in the process of adopting Dennis's niece for 2 years, and they were finally legally recognized as Anjela's parents just a few months ago. Allison has been a great inspiration to me as I have begun processing this whole adoptive mom thing. Though our circumstances are different, there is a lot of common ground. Though neither of us when out looking for a Kenyan daughter to take as our own, God placed both of these girls right where He wanted them to be. And we are grateful mamas.
Mamas and their girls....
The girls had a fun time playing together. The mamas had lots of great talk time. And Dennis hooked up my Wii and enjoyed some down time of his own. Thanks for coming, Omondi's! Julia is looking forward to seeing her friend "Anja" again in Nairobi!
p.s. - I am sure the Omondi's would appreciate your prayers as they go to the US Embassy on Thursday for their visa appointment. They are applying for Anjela's first visa so she can make her first trip to America in September.
