5 Month Preggie Pics

I officially have a bump!! So I'm subjecting myself to splashing pics of me and my belly all over the internet.



































My nice swollen ankles. No chicken legs for awhile. I feel like I'm wearing moon boots, yikes. Get those marshmallows elevated above my heart!!!

Love,
Michele and Jeff and the Bean

At Mma Chabi's place

On Christmas Day some of us from our local church took out some donations that had been collected by the church for the orphans staying at Mma Chabi's place. Mma Chabi is a Motswana lady that is living with HIV, she was very ill but managed to get on antiretroviral drugs and has regained some of the her strength. The biggest change was not in her body but in her spirit. She rededicated her life to Christ and felt led by the Lord to open up her home to as many orphans as she could. She feeds nearly a 100 children a day and many of the children are now living with her permanetly. Please pray for her and the children. Love, Michele

Marathon Baby shower

Our trip to the states was great and it turned out to be one long baby shower. Starting with Jeff's brother and his wife throwing a surprise baby shower on our first Sat. on to my mom and sister taking me shoping, to a surprise baby shower that the Grace Fellowship Church ladies put together, to my mom-in-law taking me shopping and even friends just popping round with a baby bag of goodies for Beanie Royce. It was so special and we both feel extremely blessed and Beanie too.







These are the Grace Fellowship Ladies that completely surprised me the Monday I got back from Knoxville. What a hoot.
















We laughed, saying there are no tigers in Africa, but then I said "there will be!!!" Isn't this Tiger robe the cutest.

















Here i am in Ron and Loretta's house surrounded by all the loot. Jeff managed to get most of it into a suite case and we even had to leave some things behind for my mom and sister to bring when they come.
Thank you all so much, and we praise the Lord for his special gifts to us.
love,
Michele

My Brother's furry friends

My brother Mark and his family had the happy occation of buying their first house. While I was in the states we all went over for Chinese at his new place. It was my sister's family of five, my mom and Dad, Mark's family of four, myself and lots of furry creatures. Mark has a ferret, chinchilla, chipmunk, two kittens, and a Basithound. (I don't think I spelled half of those right, oh well) Plus my sister brought over her dog as well. What a riot.
