Well Carsten is two months and we are one month from heading home to the USA. It has been a crazy last couple of months. My parents were here for the birth of our third baby. During their time here Kylea lost her first two teeth. Kaden has suddenly become such a big boy (probably due to the fact that he is not the baby any more, though still my “baby”). The kids started school Kylea in grade 0 or kindergarten and Kaden in preschool. He has come home sooo dirty every day we stick him straight into the bath, by the time he is out there is a ring around the tub, all boy I tell you.
We have a girl here, Bri, with us until we leave and then she is off to Hwane farm to work more hands on with orphans. Our kids are in love with Miss Bri and I thinks she has fallen for them too.
time flies
the vehicle saga continues
We just got our car back the 11th of December and we were headed to Nelspruit, South Africa for some dr.’s appointments when in the middle of no where our car breaks down, again!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I was having some major back issues so I could barely move and with a nursing baby and two kids and Bri, we were 6 in the car. We called a friend who lived somewhat close to see if he could help, but the car was more serious than that so we called the company who had just “fixed” the engine. Three hours later a “tow truck” came in the form of a small truck with a trailer on the back, mind you we have a full sized SPEED THE LIGHT! SUV (yeah STL!!!!). Yeah, so, it didn’t quiet fit. We had already missed Carsten’s appt. and my back apt. was that afternoon. Our friend told us to go due to a nursing baby in a hot car in the middle of summer and my back. We made it to Nelspruit in his small vehicle he lent us, yet found out he sat there for another 3 + hrs. waiting for a more appropriate tow truck. So our car again is now in the shop and we are getting ready to head home for furlough. Some day there will be a sense of humor in all this.
