Anna and Peter

Somehow I never got this video posted here. I think it is one of my favorites! I caught Peter, one of the big boys, playing with Anna, one of the youngest girls. I love how our kids became like brothers and sisters! Anna says, "Go in. Go in! Have a good time!" Enjoy!

This is what my heart is missing right now.

This is what my heart is missing right now.

Thank you Father for the privilege of walking a little bit of life with these precious children.


My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not slipped. Psalms 17:5

Did I tell you I'm sponsoring Bridget?

Did I tell you I'm sponsoring Bridget? Did you know that you can sponsor a Choir Child for just $50.00 a month? Did you guess that I don't really know how I'm going to pay every month? I'm believing and praying that God will provide for me so that I can share it with Music for Life to help them take care of her and pay for her education. If you want to know more email me at jennyjenjenmax@yahoo.com and I can answer any questions you might have!

Oh, how I miss this pretty girl!

New York City!

NEW YORK CITY!

The kids flew out of New York City. After they left late in the afternoon the 5 of us Western Aunties said goodbye to Uncle Vic and our bus from a hotel. We dried our tears and tried to focus on having a fun night in the city. We took a taxi and went to see the famous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. It was amazing! I loved all the lights! I was also amazed at the hundreds and hundreds of people of the streets! What a crazy atmosphere! We bought yummy roasted peanuts on the street and walked to Times Square to eat dinner. It was a memorable way to end our time together.

One More Snowfall

ONE MORE SNOWFALL

Despite the fact that we spent a very long winter in Canada last year the kids were excited to play in snow one last time before going home. We stayed at Camp Deerpark in New York over Christmas and they kids got to enjoy the winterwonderland.

KINGS AND QUEENS OF THE CASTLE!

The Holiday Spectacular Cast and Crew gave the children a wonderful Christmas Party at a real castle. The children loved running around looking for secret passageways, posing with the knights in shinning armor and looking for Cinderella.

We gave the kids all new hats when we were fighting the cold in Baltimore. We let them take them home to Uganda and Kenya also. I wonder if they will be used much at home? :)
