I just wanted to say sorry for the lag in blogging. We are doing 5 hours of swahili a day and by the time we are finished the sun is down. You might be wandering what does that have to do with anything. Well for us when the sun goes down we are operating off of our battery bank so we are very careful how much power we use. During the day we are operating off our solar panels so it is no big deal. The computer takes about 150 watts of power, every watt counts when you live in the bush. We had to make an emergency trip into Nairobi yesterday as well. One of our dogs was not acting normal and there are so many diseases where we live it could be anything. So we headed in and got him to the vet. They said if we had waited another day he would have been dead by Saturday morning. He has Tripsi. This is a sleeping disease caused by Titsi fly. We are not in a Titsi fly area but they hang on to trucks and things that go through Titsi fly areas. We are about 15 miles from Titsi fly area. The vet told me that a dog here in Nairobi got the same sickness a while back and they are a long way from Titsi fly area.

Hi you guys! Sorry to hear about your dog. Will he be ok? Can humans get this from flies too? Be careful! I love all the photo's! It's so wonderful we can keep in touch through blogging. I'm sure you all can't wait until your mom and dad get there in November. How exciting! Your girls are growing up so fast! Enjoy them while you can... they grow up too fast! Travis, my Travis, will be 14 in October. He is getting so tall. Heather is homeschooling Travis as too. He likes it. We do need to get him involved in some activities though. Well you all stay healthy. Give kisses and hugs to eachother from Aunt Michele. Love you...
