US Memories

We have arrived safely in Eldoret Kenya. We are here for a few weeks and then will be moving to Tenwek Mission Hospital for a year long internship. Before the big move we want to remember a few more experiences of our 7 week visit in the US. Obviously we had so many great experiences but only a few were caught on film. Here Tekoa enjoyed his first fishing trip. Papa Bill and Uncle Justin took Tekoa for an hour of fishing fun with only one small snag; the pond was stocked in spring so they had all been caught by the time we got there. That was our excuse anyway for the slow day.

Tekoa was able to hold his own pole and reel it in all by himself. Even though the day skunked most fishing enthusiasts, Tekoa caught his first career fish. Unfortunately it was captured on video and not still.

Tekoa and Eliza both enjoyed the open spaces to run and play. Tekoa learned to ride his tricycle while Eliza not only learned to walk but also to cruise on her four wheeled bike.

A friend dropped off a wagon for the kids which was a big hit. Here is Tekoa taking his little sister for an adventurous ride.

Eliza loved to spend time in the garden. She was especially good at pruning though she wasn't always sure what should stay and what could go.
