Welcome to our Blog site!

We hope that this blog site will help to keep up with us and what we are doing. We have been in Nairobi for two and a half weeks and are starting to get settled into our new house. Micah has been attending West Nairobi School and really enjoying his time there. (and the school bus ride) On his first day back from school his comment was; "it's almost like going to camp!" That due to all of the outdoor walking between classes and eating outside under a grass roof hut.

Kurt will begin flying this week. An overnight trip to northern Kenya and they hope to have the King Air up and going soon. Angie is adjusting to a slower pace than she was used to. She said she will be the primary caretaker to the new addition to our family. (Simba - the yellow cat) :-) We are working on getting adjusted to life here. The house now has the basic essentials, but lacks some furniture and shelving to put things on. Things just take more time here than in the U.S. Just the other day we spent 4 hours, driving to 4 different places, to find one of the only stores in Nairobi that sells a washing machine hose.

We hope that you enjoy our postings. We will try to keep it updated so check back every once in a while.

Kurt, Angie, & Micah

  1. It is nice to see some pictures and hear you are settling in. The picture of Bush and Osama Bin Laden is a good one. I am glad to see they are friends now. :) You have a washing machine and warm weather? What more could one ask for? Sounds better than being here. :(

  2. Yay! Pictures from Africa! I look forward to checking this and seeing what you guys are up to! Loved the Bush/Bin Laden picture, too! If that is possible, we just might achieve world peace yet! :) Take care!
