Home Sweet Home

Our new home on Daisy Road, Nairobi!

This past Wednesday, we moved into our new home on the Northern side of Nairobi close to our children's school and only fifteen minutes from Eastleigh. It was both an exciting and frustrating day. Once we got the electricity sorted out, our greatest challenge was water. The house has three separate plumbing systems and the local fundies (handy men) have been improvising in an attempt to patch them together: We've had several pipes burst in the ceiling over the past few days. Nevertheless, we are thankful for the first showers in our new house today as the many little details are coming together. This is home -- leaking pipes and all!

It has been wonderful to have a yard and a space for Tristan and Emma to ride their bicycles. They have been having a lot of fun playing together with Ava in the garden. Ava has been running barefoot around the house flapping her arms like a bird. The kids have discovered several chamelions in the bushes around the house, and throughout each day we've been blessed with many colourful song birds and even a heron. They have loved being able to play outside over the weekend and explore every inch of their new home.

Our kids making their mark!
