Half Baked in London

So we have arrived in Nairobi, Kenya.... feeling very tired and filthy. It's a nice 70 degrees here but humid.

We spent Sunday in London starting with a trip downtown to Hillsong Church at the beautiful Dominion Theatre. It was great (for the portion that we could keep our eyes open.) We then headed out onto Oxford Street for some shopping and of course, had to drop into Harrods for the world's best chocolates... Galler Dark Chocolate Truffles :)

The famous question of the day was... "You seem to be missing your baby" as we carted around our empty stroller for the day. It was quite amusing to see people lookin at the stroller, then looking around both Johanna and I for our missing child. Carting around the stroller was good practice for us on how to navigate crowded and narrow streets.

Anyways, next leg of the journey... Kigali, Rwanda!

And we are off to get Isaiah

Bags packed. Stroller in hand. Starbucks in hand :) Probably the last Starbucks coffee for awhile.... Johanna will go through withdrawal.

Our Flights are booked!

Well, the countdown begins until departure! Our flights are booked to go to Rwanda & get Isaiah! We leave Saturday, November 29th! 15 days & counting.... Johanna & I are sooooo stoked. Now, we need to find a place to stay. Anybody got any hook-ups in Kigali?

Here he is at 8 months....

We were blessed with a wonderful lawyer in Rwanda. She took Isaiah Christian out for a 'photo shoot'. She said that he "was so nice with me, I spent 5 hours with him today. He drank all milk that the orphanage gave me easily and after that he slept..."

At 7 months

"Sister Barb"... a friend of a friend was visiting Kigali, Rwanda and had the opportunity to hold our son before us :) Man, I can't wait to get him in my arms....
