GOOD Friday

Time for the daily blog update...... We took the opportunity today to sleep in abit. It was quite warm out, so we took a long walk down by the "lower station" they call it. It has the best views of the Rift Valley. With all the rains recently, it is nice and green. Breathtaking view. On the way home, we stopped by the hospital canteen for chapati and pop. An unusual Good Friday meal....The kids thought that it would be good if they had the chapati rolled up with butter and sugar like lefse!! A Norwegian chapati.
We really had a lazy afternoon. The kids were involved in some "Spy Mission " game all afternoon. I can't tell you how much fun it is to see our yard full of little Kenyons running around and laughing and playing. They sure know alot of games to play. I think it is because of the lack of TV, they are more creative and know HOW to play!!!! That is my bias against TV coming out again.
Mom, am I beginning to sound like Grandpa Sundbo???

We are so enjoying all the comments on the blog and emails from home.
Mac Fleury - evertime I see someone working on a bike or matatu, I think of you and how you would have a very busy business here working on vehicles and machinery.
We stopped by the hospital to see the boys today and heard that they all may be going home soon. That will be a sad day for us. There will be more kids on the ward I'm sure, but we have mainly been with the surgical kids as the others are so sick. THere is TB here and of course HIV. Not as much HIV as some other areas. There are measles outbreaks up north. We got the one of the local papers today. It had a lot of news about the recent plane crash that killed several MPs trying to broker peace in the northern province. The country is in mourning and the President has called the nation to prayer.
