Pictures of our life for the last month

We've been enjoying lots of delicious bananas since coming here.

We walk by this banana tree every day here

at language school on our way to class.

Aunt Jo (Carla's sister) came up to Arusha for MCC meetings from Dodoma,

where she also works for MCC.

Ben was happy to see her and even yelled "JoJo!" when

she came through the gate.

This is the "unorthodox" bbq I mentioned in my previous post.

We had a goat roast for visiting MCC country reps.

I'm pretty sure we had a wringer washer just like this in Eastleigh.

Bedtime stories. This is at our reps place in Arusha.

My Dad, Chuck, and his dog, Mac. My parents had Mac from

1997-2002. He's been living in a great place since then,

but he remembered my dad when he went to visit last month.

He even remembered Mom, Wanjela (an amazing gardener at Rosslyn) and the

campus itself. Amazingly bright dog. He's worked his way

back into my family's home. They weren't planning on

getting him back...but how can you resist this dog?

Another important milestone: Orange Fanta.

My sister used to chug this when we were little.

This was taken when we went out for Ethiopian food with

my parents, Ryan and Kristen and about 10 other Rosslynites.

We were told not to bother bringing lots of toys along...

people were right.

This is outside my parent's backdoor at Rosslyn, Nairobi.

Is it surprising, giving the lineage, (grandparents, specifically)

that he is a big time ham?


Minneapolis airport. Ben loved the moving sidewalks.

Our last day in Winnipeg with the Unger Family:

Big Ben and Little Ben:
Doesn't he realize how special this moment is?
