Nairobi National Museum

August 15, 2009














Today we went to the National Museum. It was a lot of fun, and right when we showed up we were surrounded by lots of Kenyan children in school uniforms. There was obviously a school field trip and since we went with our friends who also have a mzungu baby (white baby), they all wanted to see and touch them, and even took pictures. We saw the elephant skeleton from the elephant Ahmed, who use to roam around our home town up North. He had armed guards who followed him at all times so poachers would not kill him for his extremely large tusks.

Supper Time

August 14, 2009











We met with our teammates for one last dinner together before we leave. It was a fun time and great to catch up on everyones' work. The boys (Asher and Noah) got to see one another again. They held hands and that is okay of guys here in Kenya. You see it all the time, grown males walking down the street hand in hand. It is because they are friends. Noah got passed around quite a bit and in the end it was like a time race with a ticking bomb. In the end Mrs. Mary was who he stopped on and pooped on. The one time I put him in a Kenyan diaper. His face in this pic is one of concentration. She was trying to get him to laugh. He had other ideas. Our team gave us a beautiful box made here in Kenya to remember our time here together with them. It was a fun night.

Time with Daddy

August 11, 2009

Less than a week and we will be back in Mississippi. Noah spent sometime with Dad today as we are counting down the days.

Carnivore

August 9, 2009

We joined our friends Noor and Fatima for dinner at Carnivore. We have heard of this place that serves all you can eat meat and well now we have been there. It was really good but definitely a different experience eating with infants at the table.

Shot Aftermath

August 8, 2009










Well I say he did well. He had kinda of a rough day afterwards. After many hours of sleeping and several drops of Infant Tylenol he woke up fairly cranky and cold. It has been so cold here lately and the apt we are staying in is tiled floors which does not help, with no central heat or air you just bundle up or take off. So when the sun came out for the first time that afternoon we stay on the porch in the glow to help warm him up. Later we where trying all types of things to get him to calm down and guess what the mirror worked again.

Shot Day

August 8, 2009







Today Noah got his two month shots. We had our last Dr. visit while here in Kenya and he weighed almost 12 lbs. BIG BOY. He got HIB, Pneuomoccal, Hep B, Rotovirus, and Polio. Only 2 actual injections and an oral. He actually did really well with the shots regardless of what it looks like. He only got mad and started crying because mommy had to hold his leg down. But after about a minute of crying he stopped and then got to eat lunch. So all is well in the world according to his standards.

Cute boys

Asher came by the other day and we let the boys practice sitting us. Asher has the lean going on and Noah is bug eyed. This other pic is of Noah after he finished eating. He fell asleep sitting up.

I love ME

August 7, 2009








Noah has inherited a new bath tub (THE BIG RED CLAM), boy does he sure love swimming around in it. SO, we gave him a bath and after he was smelling good and sufficently clean we wrapped him up and were standing there talking when we noticed him smiling. We looked and moved him closer to the mirror and this is what happened.

Touring

August 5, 2009







We started off our cold day here in Kenya by visiting Kazuri bead shop. I absolutely love that place and Drew had to pull me out of there. Later we went to Amani Ya Juu (another favorite of mine). Then we headed to the curio shops for yet more shopping.
