Just wanted to let you know that we are still here, hard at work. Hard to imagine where the last few months have gone. It really becomes a blur. Right now we are in the last few weeks of the school term. We have been involved in several big events as well as the teachingContinue reading “Many small cars and one BIG car”

Events in Nairobi
Thanks so much for praying for us. Even though we are not directly affected with anyone in the school being killed or injured we can say that we definitely have the secondary trauma of not knowing if this is going to happen again and where. Smaller more insignificant events had been happening over the pastContinue reading “Events in Nairobi”
June update – The Call to be More
The end of the school year is very close at hand. Just a couple of weeks more and we will be saying “goodbye” to one more school year and embarking on a new one with our own children in different grades. On reflection, this past year has been one that has been very full andContinue reading “June update – The Call to be More”
Mudslide!
We live in a country where less than 5% of forest remains from what originally covered much of the landscape. Subsistence living is what people survive on. Wood for fuel, whatever meager open (or conveniently cleared) piece of land they can put a few seeds in, and wood as a cash crop dominate the entireContinue reading “Mudslide!”
Elections, ICC trial, and volleyball try-outs
Well, it is the time of year that the elections for the new President of Kenya, the trial against the now newly elected president and deputy president of Kenya for crimes against humanity, and volleyball try-outs take place. Although these are each very different events they will have a very resounding impact our our livesContinue reading “Elections, ICC trial, and volleyball try-outs”
Life and Death
It is not very often that we receive very good news and very bad news in the same day. For us Saturday was one of those days that we had the privilege of hearing of the birth of two new additions to our family and the loss of a father of one of our students. Continue reading “Life and Death”
Is blogging worth it?
OK, I have to admit that I was, maybe still am, skeptical about blogging and keeping people up to date this way. Blogging was just one of those things that people did before the invention of Facebook to let people know what they were doing and thinking every minute of the day. It was notContinue reading “Is blogging worth it?”
Insure your house against political violence
Ok, for most of us – actually all of us who live in Canada and the U.S. – this is such a bizarre statement. We could conceivably want to insure against maybe, lets say, a tornado that may or may not hit in our lifetimes but I would venture to guess that none of usContinue reading “Insure your house against political violence”
End of Term One 2012
We have begun to reflect on the past three months. It is amazing just how fast time goes when we are busy. No sooner have we started the term and all of the sudden it is over and almost Christmas. Where did the time go? Well let us tell you how we spent the lastContinue reading “End of Term One 2012”
Meet the new tennis coach
Well, this may sound interesting but really it is me. I guess I am thinking that I would expand my repertoire of sports coached to include tennis. The only problem is that besides teaching the basic skills in P.E. I have to admit that there is probably a lot more to the sport that IContinue reading “Meet the new tennis coach”
