First day of school in Accra

Today was the kids first day of school at their international school Lincoln Community School. And we even slept most of the night leading up to it instead of having our 1 am I can’t sleep anymore party.

Everyone we met- kids and staff alike were so welcoming. I think the kids will love it here.  They start the day with a morning meeting outside.



I stuck around to make sure all was well and found them having fun



They are in the process now of choosing their after school activities.  Each season has new choices. Some they’re choosing between are basketball, lacrosse, chess, swimming, chess, baking, and origami.  They even had a lego robot option which made us feel at home.  
I think they will be happy here.  

And since I forgot to take first day of school pictures I’ll post my first day of church here photo.

Lucky boy got to have 4 birthday celebrations: a transformers combined birthday with Bobbi in Star Valley, a pirate birthday party with the Hirschi bunch, Arctic Circle playland with his friends today, and of course birthday morning with his, mom, dad, and Dylan.

She gives the best reactions! Jaxon carefully, slowly opening his gifts. He gave absolutely everyone there a hug as a thanks for the gifts. What a sweetie. Next birthday: my pirate ship cake I'm so proud of. Jax playing pirate games on the computer while waiting for the guests. Dylan our...

Merry Christmas! We are so thankful this time of year for all of our many blessings. Mark is thankful to have his MBA and to be done with school forever! He’s also thankful to be working for the church in the Planning Division as a Product Manager. Krista is thankful to be able to stay home with 3 rambunctious boys everyday.
