We have started a blog for family and friends who want to follow our next great adventure. It has been six years since Aggie, Lillian and I were in Kenya. For Noreen and Linda (hereafter referred to as ReRe and Nana), this is their first trip to Kenya.
I remember the day we last left Kenya in 2003. I was exhausted and on the plane with Aggie, then 22 months, and Lillian, 8 months. Our friend, Julius, was with us but both girls insisted I hold them for takeoff. We had a wonderful flight attendant so both girls snuggled into each arm as we lifted off. The relief that we were leaving Kenya was palpable because every day of the 8 weeks were there had been a roller coaster never knowing when the process would be finalized for Lilian to come home.
I also remember knowing we'd go back to Kenya one day. I had no idea how old the girls would be or what their personalities would be like so this day is very special.
We will be posting here and on Facebook.
Many many blessings. Thanks for sharing your journey, the big safari.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear more about your trip! Love the pic of the girls!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you arrived safely. Pick a Mango for me from Joe & Nancy's tree. Have fun at the Giraff Park and watch out for those headbutts.
ReplyDeleteRemember we almost dropped Aggie and lost a camera after the last visit. Say hi to the hippos.
love Kathy
