The kids are enjoying seeing the D's kids and playing with them. The girls Rachel and Victoria are little singers. When they are with each other coloring or even just standing at the market waiting for us they start singing all the songs they know..Away in the Manger, So High you can't get over it, so lower you can't get under it, Father Abraham, Im trading my sorrows, Open the eyes of my heart....so neat.
Small Town:
The first 3 days of being here Jacob D and John B wore the same shirts...no planning just happened....hmm you think there was a sale on these back home in Lynden :-)
Bath Time (sorry G rated no pictures)
Okay then so bath time with John is very energetic. Carrie thinks the water tickles him. He is a wiggle worm and squirms around on the floor of the shower laughing and giggling...after he is done he stands up, soaps up and is finished...last night I just stood there and laughed at him and he looked at me and laughed back...funny kid. Of course the bath time is not very efficient (but the floor gets clean too)!
Craft Market:
Yesterday we went with the D's to the craft market. My main objective was to get an African Djembe (drum) Mission accomplished. I get to pick it up on Friday. While looking thru the shops the kids got some drum lessons and we found many other fun memory items to bring back to America with us. Very cool! If I could figure out how to get the hand carved furniture back to America I would buy a bed, coffee tables etc...they are amayzing and the men are very talented who build these.
Cool Cats:
Just some pictures of the Blaske Kids looking cool in one of the D kids sunglasses!
Friends and Family at Home:
Just another note of thanks to all of the friends and family back home who are serviing us so Incredibly! As you all are aware life hasn't stopped just because we came to Africa. We could not be doing this and walking this amayzing journey without your support and prayers!!! Thank you, thank you, Thank you for the peace you give Carrie and I that our kids at home are being loved and covered.
Blessings
Dave
