A termite queen. You have to dig them out or they come back!

Check out the hidden walnut hearts in the banana bread that our neighbors brought us for Valentine's Day. You can find love anywhere!

That's a lot of love!

That's just funny!

Ethiopian Feast

Yesterday, Audrey and the girls had the opportunity to go to an Ethiopian friend's house for a home-cooked meal complete with coffee ceremony! The 12 foot table was covered with food (sorry no pictures of that, too busy eating!), everything was amazing, and they spent three hours eating, talking, and enjoying. The coffee was strong, but tasted so much better since they got to smell the beans roasting over an open fire. We appreciate her generosity and hospitality for a very special opportunity.

Claire and Ainsley enjoying ice cream while the fresh-roasted coffee brewed in the background.

The final product: small but mighty (and delicious)!

Kitengela glass. It's unbelievable. (so is the road to get there!)

Sit with a purpose...or else. We start our adventure today with a smile as Claire runs to the potty.

One very good reason to wah your fruit well before eating it!

Look carefully...chameleon tight-rope tricks!
