Kristy and I were a little nervous about our very rusty french language this morning when we stepped off the plane in Paris. Lucky us we had a 13 hour layover today, so we were able to spend a little time eating our way through one of our favorite cities. Neither of us slept well on the plane, so our jaunt was a little rough. Actually, I didn’t sleep at all, and Kristy had only a few hours the tossing and turning kind of sleep. Can someone be immune to Ambien?

We’re here at CDG in Paris waiting to board our flight to Nairobi which leaves shortly. Hopefully our next post will be from Kenya – it all depends on the availability of our internet connection. If you don’t hear from us in the next 8 days then rest assured we will post some long updates when we arrive in London on the return trip. We did get to video chat with the kids a few minutes ago. They looked great and were having tons of fun. Mom and Dad feel better after seeing the kids’ faces too.

We’re more excited every minute. We have no idea what God has in store for us, but we know it’s going to be one heck of a ride. While we feel prepared, we understand there are plenty of unknowns. Pray for our ability to be flexible as plans change and circumstances fluctuate.

And here are a couple of photos for y’all to be jealous of. The next ones will tug at your heart, so enjoy while you can!
