Hello after a long, long time ...

Well, I have not updated this blog for the best part of 2years and you know how it goes ... after one has made a decision in one's mind to actually do something about it, one keeps on postponing as one knows for a fact that a huge gap has been left and that it is almost impossible to catch up again. Ha!! That is normally how vicious circles begin ...

Any way, I'm sitting here and write, aren't I :-) ... Let's hope it will happen more frequently. Well, being a mom of 6 kids as well as the Director of YASHA Ministry CAN become quite demanding and, since my hubby, Wilco, is working out of the country to help with our children's growing needs, things are definitely more challenging as I have to do his job as well. Ahhh, but he is doing a great job in Zambia and we do appreciate his input and contribution so much.

The kids are growing big ... Maki is 19 and helping us a lot in the Ministry these days for which we are so grateful. Joy, Stefanus and Thomas - our new 12yr old son - are very happy in their new school. They especially enjoy the sport and the competition. Timothy and Teday are back in our school, YASHA Mission Academy - exactly where they belong at the moment.

I'm struggling to upload photo's tonight ... Hope I can share a few pics soon. xxx

Our visit to Nessuit Forest - 14 August 2009

We visited the forest with Bee and her mom, Christina, from England ... I took a few nice photo's of the kids while we were there.

All the kiddies - What a blessing they are!

GAL'S COFFEE DATE - 8 August 2009

Maki had to stay 2 weeks during school holiday for tution, but we organized with her teacher that we pick her for this special occasion that was organized by our pastors wife, Pauline Maina. We picked Maki at around 08:30. We also carried some nice clothes for her to dress in for the day - Sorry I didn't take a photo of that :-( I then took them all out for breakfast as I know Maki was missing NICE FOOD soooooo much. The boys and I then dropped the girls at their destination. This photo was taken late in the afternoon as we took Maki back to school.

THE CRATER, NAKURU - 8th of August 2009

I had the privilege to be with 2 of my boys (Teday was dropped at a friend's house) as well as the 2 boys of Ps Maina and them, while the girls had a "Gal's only Coffee Date" somewhere. It was great fun. These photo's were taken in the morning when we visited the Crater in Nakuru.

We managed to pick some rocks for the rock garden at the guest house. It was great fun!! This photo was taken along the way where we've met these lovely children carrying fire wood.

Stefanus, Governor and Victor with Timothy in the front. I love this sign board showing the distances of all the different destinations in the world.

Stefanus took this lovely photo of me and and 3 handsome guys.

Awesome ... isn't it.

This photo was taken while the boys were looking at some curios.

Mustard Seed School, Nakuru

Maki got athlete's feet just a couple of weeks after she had joined the new school, so they allowed us to go and visit her.
