Could not give them up!

So, we had the opportunity to have the Kenyan kids back in our home again! We were so happy!! We have learned so much and our lives are so much richer, just having known them. Our love for them is so real and great. We wish everyone could share in our love for them. It is actually undescribable unless you have met them. Once you meet them, you understand. Its going to be torture when they have to go back to Kenya. Until then, we just get to love em, and have fun!


This is Edwin. In Kenya, the kids don't really know when their birthday is. Edwin told us it was his birthday August 22, and he had never had a birthday cake or presents. He wanted to celebrate and have us sing Happy Birthday to him. So that is what we did. I don't really know if it was his birthday or not. I didn't think it mattered actually.


Kombe had never celebrated his birthday either. In fact, none of them had. He wanted to be sung to as well and act like it was his birthday. It was so fun to help them celebrate! We took them all on a shopping spree. Brad took the boys, and Amanda and I took the girls. They never get new clothes in Kenya. They get second hand clothes, or third hand. They were so excited to have their very own stuff to play soccer!!Grace looked so beautiful in her new outfit and modeled it for us. I can't think of a better way to spend money than on people who really need new things!!Maxwel was more than excited to get a new soccer ball, cletes and shin guards. Its so fun to put a smile on their faces!
