I know, I know
I need to post...when my brother said he has been checking the sight daily and there are no posts I thought I better do so :) I love you Jon.
I am here in England with my friends and spending time on the Internet is very limited because of 3 adorable kiddos always wanting to play, be tickled, be spun around, fed, dressed, homeschooled...the list goes one. I love every minute of it and I am so thankful for this time I have with them and of course their amazing Mama. Here are their pics...in order of appearance...Taylor (6 1/2), Alex (3 1/2) and Kate (15 months).
So that has been my life since November 1st. But to the trip to the motherland, well not necessarily mine, but someone's. I had a wonderful time - I love the people and the land. I had a wonderful time...having to run up a termite mound (yes a hill of dirt built by termites) from fighting hippos that were running towards us, feeding giraffes, petting lion cubs, sitting 6 feet from a big lion and huge elephants, having monkeys look in your room at you while napping, having to get out of mosquito netting, grab a flash light, and check the toilet before sitting on it to use the restroom in the middle of the night, showering virtually outside for 7 of the days, to loosing my voice, to almost drowning in and drinking too much of the Zambezi river while rafting (did I mention drowning), and finally ending the trip in the most amazing city I have ever been to...Cape Town.
I took tons of pictures, too many to count or admit to, but as soon as I get some internet stuff figured out here I will post them for your viewing pleasure. I am going to move away from shutterfly and actually start to post my pictures on a website where the pictures will be for sale. Hey I have to earn a living somehow :)
Love to all my friends in DC and everywhere. Thanks to Rich & Michelle and kids for an amazing week in Joburg, to Cindy, Ange and my Mom for making the other 2 weeks unforgettable, and to Heather and kids for opening your home and Josh for letting me keep your family company while you are deployed.
