catching up

From Nairobi...

We really don't come up here to Nbi all that often...it just seems like it's the only time we get around to blogging! I thought I'd throw together some pictures from the last few months and I hope to post some more pictures in the coming days.

Aaron is six months old now - starting solids, laughing a lot. He was born with his eyes wide open and he is one curious little baby. He loves anything exciting and new. He is a well-traveled little baby already - driven all over Kenya and Tanzania. Poor guy has had no choice but to be a rugged adaptable little baby.

Ben or "Mbogo" (Buffalo) as people in Mugumu call him, after his Grandpa French (Papa), is only the best little athlete the world has ever seen. This guy can hit baseballs and golf balls, throw a frisbee, kick a soccer ball and bounce a basketball and hit a tennis ball like it's just an extension of himself. Yes, I'm totally bias.

We're about to enjoy a week of relaxing in Nairobi. It has been a great but very busy last few months - highlighted by a visit from Opa and Oma Unger from Winnipeg. They stayed with us in Mugumu for two weeks, and then we had a week of vacation with them - traveling through Serengeti and Ngorongoro with them, spending a couple days in Arusha, and then some more time with Ryan and Kristen in Nairobi. Ben was in heaven with his grandparents' visit - so much attention. Opa can make matchbox cars the most interesting thing in the world - or stories about tails. Aaron made sure to secure a place in his Oma's arms every chance he got.

We love you Opa and Oma!!
