Here are Mark and Jeff, running the Victoria Falls Marathon. I am so very proud of both of them! Top pictures are AFTER the race, bottom pictures are before the race. Thank you to everyone who prayed for them and cheered them on....what a memorable day! 26 miles...WOW!!!! Way to go guys!!!
Matthew is sitting up on his own! Look how proud of himself he is!!! He still wobbles a bit so we keep a pillow behind him just in case. He is all about playing these days...and he got his first tooth too, on the bottom left! Getting too big too fast. :)
Mark is making a swimming pool for Madylanne and eventually Matthew to play in...fun times ahead!! Just the way to spend hot days in the Sesheke sun! Madylanne helped too, as you can see her with her watering can. She put her handprint in the wet cement today, and Matthew put his footprint in there. :)
Hee hee hee, ok, so they definitely aren't really stairs to heaven...they are steps leading to the Zambezi River from our backyard (but there is a fence between the yard and the steps, so don't worry- you can see the fence in the picture that shows the back of our house). Once they and the platform are complete we will have a way to get the inflatable boat into and out of the river at last...
Being a missionary means doing a little bit of everything...today Mark was a vet. Nala, one of our dogs, got a big gouge in her shoulder and Mark stitched it up for her. She was really good and didn't try to run once!! Guess that means Mark did a super job...and Dominik and Given did a great job holding her down gently.
Given wanted a picture taken with the kids last week. Bless his heart he is the only one smiling!! :) We love you Given!!
Madylanne loves to play hide and seek...I hold Matthew and we take turns hiding from her and then seeking her...and last week we found her here, in her stuffed animal box. TOO CUTE!
Here are Mark and Madylanne enjoying a little down time...playing an airplane game on the wii. Madylanne nearly fell off Mark's lap a few times she got so into it!! :)
