Lots of News






Lots of News:
Hi everyone...greeting from Kenya. We are well, thanks for your prayers. As most of you know the violence in Kenya continues, but we remain safe and secure. Classes have started, and seem to be going well. For the moment we are finding things a bit easier than last term, but it is still early. Its also a bit more technical linguistically....which is fun.
In other exciting news, we have decided to put Junio is a different school. There is an American School very close to here, which also gives us a discount as its a missionary school and was started by our organization. We really think this is going to work out great. Junio was having some issues with understanding different words because of the Kenyan accent. As a result his reading in the long term, was going to be hindered so we decided, we needed to do something now to ensure he doesn't have to catchup later. And so far, he loves it. He has one of the best teachers there and is really enjoying things. They have a fantastic library, and he still has a multinational class with classmates from around the world.
Also in other wonderful news! We found out last week that Jamie is pregnant again!! WE are very excited, but also a bit apprehensive, because as some of you know Jamie was very sick for 7/9 months last time and had to be hospitalized during that time. SHe started to get sick about 5.5 weeks along last time. Now she is 6 weeks along, and so far so good, only slight nausea which has been remedied by a quick snack. Please pray for her, that it is not like it was last time. Everyone keeps telling us you just can't compare pregnancys, they are different each time, I do hope they are right, but we'll see. As I said so far so good. If we are right the next "Langlette", as one of our friends called it, will be here just in time for the next academic year in September.
So thats the skinny. thanks for watching.
Jeremy

Yay! How exciting! We will be praying that this pregnancy is much easier and more enjoyable than the last. I hear it is often the case with hyperemesis. Glad everything else is going well. Miss you guys,
