today, he had a special treat for us hidden in the wardrobe, behind his shoes. it took awhile for the kids to find all of it, but when they did, there was a chocolate bar (a fruit and nut cadbury bar!), two apple juice boxes, a bottle of strawberry fanta, and a movie (tangled). Fridays are pizza and movie nights so he said he had something special for our night. we also drink soda with dinner, well, J-boy and kev and i do (e doesn't like it) so the strawberry fanta is a new soda for us and j-boy enjoyed it. e usually drinks juice so we assumed the apple juice boxes were for her and m. the movie was a hit and one e and i had been wanting to see. so, we enjoyed our pizza and movie night and talked about how much we missed daddy.
on his climb today, kev will have gone higher than he's ever gone. tonight he will sleep at just over 14,000 feet. tomorrow is an acclimation day so he'll hike up and then sleep at the same place he is tonight. kev says hiking high and sleeping low is good for acclimating!?!?!
again, it was good to hear his voice and he seemed to be doing good (in the less than one minute we talked :) )
thanks for the prayers for the kids and i. we are doing well. tomorrow, we will go to a friends house for awhile in the morning and then have been invited over to our kenyan teammates house for dinner. it will be a busy day, but it looks like we should get naps w/ no problem!
So glad you were able to talk with Kevin, even though it was for a short while. The items you found on your hunt today is awesome. Hope you all enjoyed the movie! May Sat. be good to you all, sounds like you have a nice day planned. Know I love you all and am so looking forward to Mar. 27th when I will be with you all.
ReplyDeleteI know Sat. will also be a little sad for you as it's been two years since you lost your best friend. May God hold you close!
