Random photos from 2012

I finally figured out how to upload these photos on our blog.  Nothing stays the same for long.  I did prefer the last method of doing it but change is good right? :(






This is Zara with three of the McCourtney Clan.. They were staying with us for a week awaiting their adoption paperwork to go to the States.  You can read their family story at http://fromglory2glory.blogspot.com/ 
 
 
Look at Elizabeth jump!
 
 
This is at a MAF social.  Its amazing what a large piece of plastic, some water and some soap can do to entertain kids.  They come out pretty clean afterwards too.
 
 
 
Two days before New Year I watched part of our back wall fall down.  It was a bit surreal until I ran outside (didn't know where Joshua was for a moment but thankfully nowhere near this wall|) and then saw the extent of the damage.  Some of the bricks have been salvaged to use again.  We are still without a wall and the other half that still stands looks very precarious.  Our neighbours are going through the insurance company so we are awaiting to hear back from them as to what is going to happen.  Never a dull moment in Africa!  Sorry its not a good shot of Joshua but at least it gives you some perspective as to the size of the damage.
 
 
We have had so much rain in these last months that the wall could not take it anymore.  It might not be the only wall that falls as there is one on the side of our garden which looks like it could be next in line.
