Pictures of Travels to Kapsowar

 In the airport in Amsterdam....tired Layna. The girls did so good. Thankful we brought the stroller.

 Enjoying some fruit squeeze snacks. Layna liked having her own seat. About to leave for Nairobi.
 This was a proud moment in the Nairobi airport. Here we are with 15 pieces of luggage!!. It really wasn't that hard getting it all together. Nana kept the girls off to the side and I kept bringing the rolly carts while aaron filled them up. In the pic below I was trying to find a "welcome to kenya" sign. I couldn't find it, so this was the next best thing. It says "Welcome to the place I call home, Kenya" :)

 Here are a couple of pics from the guest house we stayed in in Nairobi. The girls LOVED this tree swing. I would love to figure out how to get them a swing here. I think it could be easily made, just need to find the right tree and make sure it would be ok to have. There would probably be lots of kenyan children to share it with. There is a great space for a playground here on the station. Maybe I will check in to that and make it a project of ours. They do have two small swings at the hospital, but that's all I have seen so far.
Hopefully will post pics of our home and the hospital in the next week or so. It takes a while for pictures to download here.
Thanks for praying for us and loving us! Aaron plans to start work at the hospital on Tuesday. Please pray for him in learning and getting back into the swing of medicine. Also, his mom, Kathy , will be going back to the states on Monday. Pray for her safe travels and for us as we will miss her dearly. So thankful she could come with us and help us get settled.

More to come soon!

Great pictures! Like the TN shirt you wore over there. :-). The Kenya sign is perfect. Glad the transition is going well thus far.

Whoo hoo!!:) This morning, I was listening to the song "Home" by Phillip Phillips. Have you heard it? It made me think of you and your new home in Kenya. Can't wait to see more pictures!
