Were Back!!!

Back in Lesotho that is. We finally arrived after almost 40 hours of travel from my parents house in Flagstaff to our house here in Maseru. I would like to tell you it was a fun trip and we enjoyed traveling in the airplane, but we didn't. I suppose anyone traveling that long with a toddler and a 10 month old would tell you that. Overall everything went extremely well. The first flight from Phoenix to London went great with the kids sleeping almost the entire time. Daddy doesn't sleep well on planes but did get a couple short cat naps in. Mommy fared slightly better, but still not enough.
The second flight was a little tougher with the kids not really wanting to be on an airplane anymore. Evi started to get pinkeye that kept getting worse as time went on. Within the first hour after getting home we took Evi to the Baylor clinic and got some eyedrops. The next morning they were gone. Two days later Caleb also developed a bout of pinkeye and is just about recovered. The kids and I are also fighting a little bit of a cold. I think it is the trasition from Arizona to Africa.
We moved into our house with beds made Anthracite heater started and a warm meal in the kitchen. This was great and as soon as it got dark we all headed to bed. We arrived just in time for winter, with it already snowing in the mountains this last week.
This last week has been busy with moving back into our house, unpacking, buying groceries, dealing with passports, border passes and a myriad of other things that had to be done. On highlight for us has been the addition of "high-speed" internet to Lesotho. This is great, as it is cheaper that we used to pay for our monthly dial up account, Although for our 512K connection it is still over $100 a month. Because of this we hope to do a better job of adding photos to our Flickr photo site and updating our new blog. Tomorrow I hope to find my camera and have some pictures from the trip back.
Thanks for praying!!

Next stop: Lesotho, Africa

Well, we are on the way out the door. We are driving to Phoenix, Arizona and then hoping on a British Airways flight to London. After a 4 hour layover we will depart from London to Johannesburg. Please pray for us while we travel and next time you hear from me will be in Lesotho.

one more week

We are finally beginning the final preparations to return to Africa. In only seven more days we hope back on the airplane and make our return trip to Lesotho. Leslie and I were able to have an awesome vacation and short break from the kids. We really needed to spend some time with ourselves.
For those of you in the Flagstaff area there is also an open house/farewell for us on Saturday the 12th at the home of Danny and Amanda Finney. We would love to see you anytime between 3 PM and 7 PM on Saturday. Check out the link to their address on the right hand side.
We also have a huge praise for Evi. Yesterday was the first day that she did not have to change her bandage. After 8 months of daily dressing changes we are very excited that her leg is almost completely healed. Please continue to pray that it would not open up again and that there would be no more major wound issues.

We look forward to seeing you Saturday,
Danny, Leslie, Evi and Caleb
