Cute sunshine...collecting up the rain drops!

It is hard getting a group picture with everyone looking!

My class has been learning about the water cycle in class. We have also been working on oral reading so...I mixed the two and we did a small skit on the water cycle. Most of the kids were water drops and then there was also a sunshine. They really got excited about it and the parents came and watched. GOOD TIMES TEACHING FIRST GRADE!!!

SOCCER!

Soccer Game!!!

Our friend works for Ambassadors in Sport and plays for a team here in Nairobi called World Hope. We have been able to go to a few of his games! They are always a fun experience! This was his last game as he will be going back to the US to do a little fund raising for a new project they are working on. The team won...which was AWESOME! GOOD TIMES!!!

Ethiopian

I tried the boiled egg for the first time and enjoyed it. But my favorite are the vegetables on the right side and the meat on the bottom. GOOD STUFF!!!

Some friends that went to dinner with us. Big groups are good to share Ethiopian food with. It helps to have a large variety! :)

Craig has learned to really like it. Actually I think it would be best to say that I have learned to like it. The first time I had it I said, "NEVER AGAIN!" But now I actually enjoy it. I think Craig liked it from the beginning!

Crazy Kids

We got our class pictures back from the company and this was the one I got to keep! So great! Some fond memories with these kids...but this shows it best! Gotta love them!!! Unfortunately I missed out on the first grade picture, but I am sure it would have been just as crazy...
if not more! :)

Wedding Shower

This weekend some of the moms of my first graders had a wedding shower for me. It was a pretty far distance from town so it was nice that so many people were able to make it. I was humbled to see both new and old students, as well as, some families that I have never even taught their children. It was a very special time of sharing and prayer and of course...good food!

They blessed Craig and I with some awesome Kenyan gifts! :)

Of course we had to play some silly games.

Above are some of the parents who attended. And below are some of the high school students.

What a blessing and encouragement the whole day was. It was so great to hear the encouragement and advice that these amazing women and girls had for Craig and I. I was truly blessed!
