Transition time

This is bunch of randomness as our lives got messy! We will start with our lives finally settled in Cote d"Ivoire and go from there. After Halloween we moved into our new houses which we love! There is plenty of space to run and run for the boys and space for everyone to be comfortable inside. The houses are such a blessing to us since they are right next door to eachother and we had them put a hole in the wall separating our backyards so the boys can go back and forth all day long with no problem! We set up Christmas right after Thanksgiving to get into the spirit since it is so so hot that it did not feel at all like Christmas to us. So here are pictures of tree decorating!
Elliot wanted to "help" :)


Concentrating so hard!

Here is a tree in our backyard that Keenan loves to climb and sit in. Just practicing senior pictures!
Right before we had to leave Cote d'Ivoire we went outside and found these huge guys all over our tree! Keenan called them dinosaur cata-pillars and they were all over. Craig started wacking them off with a stick but then changed to spraying poison all over right before we left. So maybe when we get back we will have tons of dead lizards from eating poisonous dinosaurs.

Then comes our big transition. The political tension in Cote d'Ivoire was getting much and there is growing tension for internationals as one of the presidents blames the west for all wrong doing so we were sadly forced to leave for the moment. We moved to Ghana where we are waiting to see what will happen with this country we love so much. It was a very very heartbreaking goodbye knowing that so many friends cannot leave and many are nervous as well. We are unsure of what happens next or when we will decide where to go from here but for the meantime we are livin life and enjoying our time and ministry here. So, here are some pictures so far from our time here.

Us at the second guest house that we stayed in. We have now stayed in three places since moving here and that brings our grand total of moves to 8 in the past 6 and a half months. Crazyness!!! Yet the Lord is so so faithful and provides every detail in the exact time that we need something and that has been so sweet to watch.
Me and my sweet boys!!

Our amazing team! Sadly, the Glendennings left a week ago back to the states to wait this out. It was so so sad to see them leave and they are dearly missed but we are looking forward to being reunited in our homes in Cote d'Ivoire!!! We continue to wait and beg the Lord for peace!
