This is Africa...

SOOOO, let me begin with our apartment flooded one inch, thankfully no computers or cameras were destroyed...immigration wants like 12 things of paperwork from us, and we are now filling in for 3 nannys on maternity leave!!
ahhhhhhh...things just are overwhelming right now, but we all thought chocolate chip cookies would ease the pain, so, we got to work on that last nite, in the dark, no electricity, which happens WAY too often:) and it was hilarious!!! Christy and Heath were measuring out all the ingredients for the cookies while i did dishes by candle-light...it was a nite to remember!!!
i must say, the babies were so funny last nite!! they all get a snack at 6:30pm before bed to keep their tummies full till morning and last nite they got boiled eggs. i was holding little Neema in my lap as she devoured her egg and got half of it on me, which the smell was very overwhelming hahahaha...but, they were just loving life running around chasing one of our nannys around and giggling...i just watch them! they are so funny to just stare at and try to think, what is going on in their little minds. i only wish i could take them all home with me and raise them to be Georgia fans hahahaha!!!
well, i will be leaving Cradle of Love on October 24th to head to Kigali, Rwanda for 2 weeks. I'm thrilled about this trip and cant wait to explore this country!! i will be visiting orphanages and schools around the city. i ask you to pray for safe traveling for Heath and me. Also, Christy and Steph will be headed to South Africa for adventures of their own. So, the four of us will split, which is so sad because we all have really loved being together and are used to 4 not 2!! so, pray pray pray for all of us, thank you!!!!!
I will keep updating my adventures here in Africa and i miss yall so much, thank you for reading, MUCH LOVE, Hal
