Meet Emma Kate

She is so alert, always looking around checking out the world. Jack is quite taken with her, he will be a very good big brother.

We all pray that every child born into the world is born into such love, opportunity and good health.

She's Here!!

Emma Kate was born at 4:33am on June 10th. Tim and I were there when she was born. It is such a blessing to see your daughter bring a child into the world with such grace and humor. All are safe and sound. She weighed 8lbs 4ozs, with lots of dark hair!

Home, But NO Baby!!

Took over 28 hours but made it home on Saturday night. My new granddaughter, however, decided to stay put! I was glad to not miss her birth but we're all ready now, especially Elizabeth. Here are the promised pictures: The streets of Lamu, still my most favorite place on earth, sitting in the town center, listening to the political discussions (not that I can understand them!) saying jambo (hello) to the kids and drinking coke!

Next is kids from the day care, Jukumu Letu, wrapped in love and blankets from My Two Grandmas. Note the quality of the work! Thank you Liz and Tom and Sandy for your hard work and generosity. The kids are already sleeping under them at nap time.

Last is Sammy K, a shadow of his former self. The face of futility and lost potential. Not to mention pain and suffering.
