The "EZ" Life

Well it is official,  our little nephew Ezekiel was welcomed into the this world Tuesday, July 29th and weighing in at 8 lbs 5 ounces.  EZ stands 21 inches high and loves to eat.  His hobbies include, eating, sleeping, making dirty diapers, and lovin' on his momma.  Tony and I had a wonderful trip visiting the Land of Cheese. We had a ton of quality time with my sister, her husband and their little ones.  Family is a blessing and we feel lucky to have had the time to visit before we head out to South Africa.

Since our return we have had the good fortune of successfully defending the Dragon Boat Race Championship up at Lake Gregory.  There is nothing like the thrill of competing in such a high profile race.  This year there were 10 teams that raced and the smell of victory was sweet.

We continue to be a place of thanks for answered prayers.  A good friend of ours was kind enough to loan us a vehicle while we are still in the US.  Tony and I are extremely grateful for our new transportation.   We continue to move slowly up the fundraising ladder and are hopeful that our financial goals will be met in the next month.  You can still feel free to pray for our support raising process, if you would like. ;)  We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible before we leave, and of course our doors will always be open.  Talk to you all again soon.
