to reflect in God's goodness.

Colt is obsessed with Batman...


 He has been talking for WEEKS (maybe longer) about how he wants to buy Jimmy (aka: my Ugandan love bug) a pair of Batman socks from Target. 

 About a week before I left to come home, I received the most precious HeyTell from Colt saying: "Lala, I'm going to go to Target to buy Jimmy some Batman socks!"  Today - he did! 
With his very own dollar.  I couldn't be more proud of Colt - he's only 2 (almost 3) and he gets it.  Here is Colt, giving back - in the most major of ways for his adorable 2 year old heart. 
I am so proud of him!

Dennis, helping prepare lunch. 
Don't worry - he chased me around the yard with this carcass after my taking this pic.

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their affliction,
and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
- James 1:27
I started this book today.  It is great!

I haven't been sleeping great lately so at about 2am I got to HeyTell with this fella. 
Kinda creepy... but kinda cool to pull up the map feature and see our locations.
Turns out I'm truly living in Africa.  Go figure!
