An update to let everyone know we're still here. Things have been pretty busy here. The boys are a month into their new school year now. Jamie's felt very relieved to have a couple other people (and former teachers...or is it current?) here helping out with some of the subjects. Our country director Matt Carr is teaching the boys science and neighbor Debbie Sacra is teaching writing.
The weather has been unseasonably dry. The first week of September gave us less than a tenth of an inch of rain. Someone told us they had over 100 inches last year in September. That's almost 3x the annual rainfall in Western Washington. It has picked up a little the last week, but the boys have still found time to get outside. Here's Kobe with a couple friends and an octopus they found in the rock reef.
Blessing is doing very well. She's gained a couple pounds the last 3 weeks. The boys have been very helpful. Here Colton is playing a game of Stratego with her. She's red.

With Kobe after her bath.
and speaking of Kobe, he gets to be the first in our family to have malaria. He had a 105 degree fever on Saturday so I took him up to the hospital. After his malaria smear came back with 1+ I told him "congratulations". The nurse looked at me a little cross and said "why are you congratulating him?" He's doing fine though and hasn't really had any problems since Saturday.

Did she win?
First an introduction: I'm Carey; we adopted Peter from Liberia in 2007. Our heart are helping children in need. I'm so glad Brandi had this link on her website.
Will sweet Blessing be able to go back home to her mother after surgery? Can this be fixed in Liberia? I know it is a many step process fixing cleft palatte as they grow.
