Joyous Reunion
After being apart from Norm for what seems like forever, we are finally back together! It feel so good to be the four of us again. We were all functioning like 1/2 a person. On Thursday we went to the airport and anxiously awaited Norm! As soon as he walked out… there was much excitement. [...]
Canada Bound with Stones
While it may seem to some that I just got back to Senegal, for me it seems like it has been FOREVER since I left California and more importantly since I left Deb and the boys. Thankfully, I will be seeing them next week! I leave for my short Canadian trip next Wednesday. Not only [...]
Grocery shopping!
Today I went grocery shopping for the first time since coming back to the States. I had avoided it thus far. I was sure that I would be so overwhelmed. So many choices… so many wonderful foods that we miss. Today I wanted to get some sweet potatoes for dinner. So I decided to run [...]
Light and Dark
We have been enjoying some serious light here in California! Its been nice and sunny and we have been taking advantage of it! In Dakar they have been seeing some seriously dark days. The riots are continuing and they are happening all over the city. Our life here in California is totally opposite of life [...]
Whats up in Cali?

Kidney Stone Update
After a lot of running around, going to the hospital, going to the doctor, attempting to arrange insurance, getting x-rays and a lot of time in the car… Norm has finally had the kidney stone removal procedure. PRAISE THE LORD. We really were not sure if it would be possible in two weeks time. But [...]
Geocaching
We knew we would just have to fit some geocaching in while here in California. Its our most favorite hobby in the whole world. And there is not much of a geocaching scene in Senegal. Today, Dad, Canaan, Erik, Critter, Norm and I went for a nice geocaching hike. It was so beautiful, the weather [...]
Arrived safe and sound!
Well we are here in California! Feels so strange being home after over a year! Yet it feels so comfortable and normal! Our trip was long and exhausting! But it went smoothly! Our travel total time ended up at 31 hours. When we arrived at the airport we waited at customs for a very long [...]
The grassy place!
We leave tonight at 11pm our time, 4pm PST. We are headed to California or as Canaan calls it… “the grassy place.” Since we RARELY see grass here… Haha. Please pray for our trip. We will lay over in Spain for 5 hours. Then we have a 12 or 13 hour flight to LAX from [...]
