Family & Friends,
Hey everyone . . . we made it safely to Kenya last night about 10pm. The flights were great and the kids did awesome. We are so thankful. There were some snags leaving the Dallas airport. Some paperwork they said we needed from the Kenyan government. But, after about and an hour and a half and prayer it got worked out and we got to our gate just in time to board the plane to London. The kids watched movies and put on their pajamas and slept several hours through the night. We arrived in London and ran to our connection just in time to get the flight to Nairobi. Our flight to Nairobi went smooth and we arrived about 9:30pm. Unfortunately, none of our crates arrived. ugh! So, Lane will go back tonight to hopefully claim our luggage which is supposed to arrive this evening.
We got to visit and sleep in our new home last night. Our friends who work in Lane's new office helped set up the beds and put linens on them and put some food in the fridge for us. What a blessing to us!!! Luke had a hard time sleeping during the night since we didn't have a crib for him to sleep in. But, one of out visits today was to Caleb's new school Rosslyn Academy and one of the ladies up there had a pack-n-play for us to borrow this week.
Today... Lane's new boss Scott & his wife Sally and their two girls Maggie & Anna took us to breakfast and then grocery shopping. After that we stopped by a furniture maker on the side of the road to get a crib. Or should I say we got to design a crib for him to make and we will pick up on Monday or Tuesday. That was cool! That may sounds weird but to buy a crib at a store would be about $300 and to get one made is about $150. So, it made sense to me to get it made. I brought Luke with me and held him up and the guy measured him and then I told him how tall it needs to be so he won't climb out.
That's all for now. We just got done eating dinner and are headed back to go to bed. We've made it this far today without naps so that should help with the the jet lag.
We should get e-mail at home this weekend so we will write again then.
Please pray for all 9 of our crates to arrive tonight.
love,
Anna & Lane

YEAH! I'm so thankful for his provision for you guys in arriving to a new home with beds made and a little food in the fridge. That kind of stuff is so helpful. Much grace to you as you settled in your place. It's hard to get settled overseas but what a joy to follow him! love you guys, M
