Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

We celebrated Eva's bday a little early this year. Her bday is May 21st...which just happened to be our first day in Uganda. So, the day before we left Nairobi, we had a little party with our friends there. She was thrilled to finally be the one to blow out the candles, and for days after could be heard singing, “Happy Birthday to you, ME! Happy Birthday to you, ME!”

On her real bday we had fun opening a package that was waiting here for us from Jon and Kate, chasing bunnies in the garden of the guest house we're staying at, and eating a yummy fish and chips dinner.

Some favorite shots of Eva over the past few months:

Her Birthday Celebration in Nairobi with Faders and Agnes Families (her favorite present was this pink Elmo backpack she spotted on the market when we were out walking one day).

Happy Birtday, Sweetheart! We love you!

You all look refreshed in these photos :) I hope this next phase of ministry will find you energized and at rest in the Lord...

We've been out of touch. Our hard drive died and took with it our blog addresses. Glad to find you again! We're eager to hear how things are for you in Jinja.
We found out today that Scott got accepted to RVA. Very happy about that.
Hope all is well.
