Tristan is now half way through his freshman year of High School. It has been a busy fall with classes, Rosslyn Singers, the school play (An Appointment with Death), and now prep for the Spring Musical (The Wiz). As the kids begin Christmas break today, we are so glad to have a few uninterrupted weeks of family time.

Growing up in Kenya has its perks, one of them being the incredible opportunities to encounter creation. Even in Nairobi: We were driving across town on Friday and while stopped at an intersection a troop of monkeys paraded by. Surprises like this never fail to amaze us.
Over the American Thanksgiving long weekend, we were able to take the kids to Mt. Kenya where we spent a few days enjoying the cool mountain side. Tristan led us through a great hedge maze and organized board games during the rainy afternoons. He is a great big brother to his sisters.
Looking back on 2013, we are so thankful for the great experiences we’ve been able to share in as a family. Time flies by far too quickly, and quiet moments with our kids are treasures that we want to protect. We are so thankful for TK and the gift of being his parents.

What a great way to present your wonderful family. Congratulations to both of you Aaron and Erica for being the parents that you are and for the giving your children the opportunity to experience life in Kenya and many other places. God Bless you all.
ReplyDeleteJust took the time to read the kids biographies, you do have 3 great kids and they have had some great opportunities despite being so far from family. May God continue to bless them because of your faithfulness.
ReplyDeleteAll the best in writing your thesis Aaron, the best advice is stick to it.
Pray for you all each day. love Jane Weiler
