The Great Rift Valley
Saw this link on Youtube and thought we would include in our blog. This is where we live and there are so many great, amazing things to see and do. So sit back and enjoy the tour – wish you were here.
Twelve Tasks
Cassidy is in the midst of accomplishing “twelve tasks” since she turned twelve this year. This is something that many parents have done with their children here at RVA. These tasks are meant to be a “right of passage” to becoming a teenager and create a little bonding time with her mom and dad. WeContinue reading “Twelve Tasks”
Another Milestone
It is hard to believe but Cassidy, our not so little girl anymore, is off to junior high. Wow, what a sobering thought. We are so blessed to have such an amazing girl though and we are very proud of her. One of her teachers wrote, “It has been such a pleasure having Cassidy inContinue reading “Another Milestone”

Trusted with the Torch
As we read and follow events about the upcoming Olympic games we realize that not all of the drama takes place during the actual Olympics. Some of it unfolds in the weeks and months leading up to the games as competitors vie for qualification. A Canadian diver hit his head while training. Will he beContinue reading “Trusted with the Torch”
Volleyball season
Wow, another full and busy term of volleyball. The challenge is to bring ten guys together to get them working together in two short weeks to be ready to play in our international school league. I was so thankful for such a great group of players who worked really hard to be able to playContinue reading “Volleyball season”
What does the empty tomb mean to you?
Muhammad’s body lies buried in the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Confucius lies buried in a cemetery in his home town Qufu, China. Budda’s remains were cremated and sent to several places as relics. One place holds the “right tooth relic” of Buddha and is called the Temple of the Tooth or Dalada Maligawa located in SriContinue reading “What does the empty tomb mean to you?”
