Feeling lazy....

Hey all, I know, I haven't posted in a while but I do have an excuse.... for those of you who haven't heard I'm pregnant (yet again :-). We are super excited and our little bundle of joy should be here around June 1st. But now I do remember why I don't enjoy being pregnant, I've been feeling nauseous for the last month, absolutely no energy, feeling very lazy. It was exactly the same when I was pregnant with Josh and Seth, where as with Jude I had hardly any morning sickness and was mixing cement about this far along :-). Anyway... this week has been a lot better and I even got out in my garden for an hour or so this morning, something I haven't done for a few weeks. So I think my body is adjusting. So now we have to find somewhere to have the baby, we're leaning towards the Catholic hospital here in town, it is very nice and clean and they have some spanish doctors... but we'll see, please keep it all in your prayers.

School Uniforms


Finally all of the children's uniforms are made. Pa is a retired tailor for the Nigerian Army and sowed all the unifroms, a huge blessing that saved us a lot of money. The kids were so excited to all head to school with their new clothes, backpacks, and shoes. This week I went down to the second hand market to get their black shoes that they needed for school, it defiantly improved my bartering skill, praise God we got some great deals. Also was able to get them some of their text books for school, we'll continue to get more as funds come in. You have to pay for School here and they don't even provide any books, no wonder it is such a struggle for people to send their kids to school.
