i want a baby like that, too.

matt just got back from Kenya. 

he went with a group from our church.

we are 'adopting' an orphanage there--taking on getting

them medical care, clean water, sponsoring the children for

school and food, addressing structural and building issues,

assisting them with agriculture and learning about sustainable

living.  i am really, really excited about it and so thankful that our

community at church has the opportunity to get involved.  

i can't wait to visit myself someday.

he saw: a lot of elephants.  even a baby one.  [i die of cute.]

the sunrise and mount kenya.

and these beautiful faces.

matt has done mission work several times in South America

and the Dominican Republic, but this was his first trip to Africa.

we didn't have much time to talk while he was there, but all i wanted to

know was if he loved Her as much i as did as soon as he stepped foot onto her ground.

he said yes.

hoping to catch up on e-mails tonight.  especially those of you with adoption

questions; i'm not ignoring you.  hope you have a happy day, friends!
