Well we've been home a little over a week, and were starting to settle back into some sort of a routine. Today is the first day I have felt good and alive. My sciatica is doing better, now that I am on meds for it and have seen the Chiropractor 5 times!
We've been busy with other Dr. appts. had both boys at the dentist today, and last week had Jacob into a new Dr. one that specializizes in ADHD, as he has been having very negative side effects from the patch. So he is now on a different med, and we are praying this one works, with no bad side effects!
I am back to watching one child for the rest of the summer, so we have been having fun going to the pool, and movies etc. Now if I can just get myself to stay home and unpack that would be good. But no fun :) The end of this month we will be taking off again for a week, to go to our Church's District Camp Resort in Vermilion Ohio for a week of Bible and Missionary Conference. We are looking forward to being up there hanging with family, and talking more Missions stuff!
As we settle into being home in the States, we are continually seeking the Lord and His will for us in Missions. We have been in contact with an organization, and are praying about our future. There is a lot to think about, plan for etc.....and we want to make sure it is all done in God's timing and will. Please continue to pray for us and God's leading. We also feel led to continue Missions work while here in the States. I am hoping to lead a Womens Missions Bible Study, and Bob and I together will continue to spread our zeal for Missions to all those around us, and hope to get involved in some projects state side.
Well I am sitting here staring at a huge paper pile, that I should attempt to get to. But wanted to take just a moment to update.
In September we are hoping to have a special time at our home of sharing our Kenyan stories and eating some good Kenyan food. Details to come in August!
Blesssings to all

Back in the United States
We're back in Ohio. Kids were up at 6am this morning, wide awake and ready to play. I was up at 4am. Guess we're gonna have some jet lag issues...lol.
Please pray for Janell as she is having some leg & back issues w/pinched nerves & some numbness in her leg. She had a rather miserable flight home yesterday & didn't rest too comfortably overnight. Otherwise than that & the "extended stay" in Brussels, as Janell mentioned above, the return was uneventful. And a HUGE thank you to Jessica for handling the baggage issue for us - they were waiting for us when we arrived in Cleveland last night. Jessica, we cannot tell you how appreciative of that, we are!
We definitely miss Kenya, and it's very, very clear that we are going to return someday. The only question now is - "for how long?". All four of us can see ourselves making Nairobi, home.
That said - please pray for us for our future plans and where God will help us serve. Once again, thank you so much to all of those who have been praying for us and/or gave financially to this trip. We felt amazingly blessed by the Holy Spirit while there and hope that we were a huge blessing to those we served while on the ground there.

URGENT
We are in Brussels, safely arrived from Nairobi. However they overbooked our flight from Brussels to New York, and needed 5 people to opt to take a flight tomorrow morning to New York, in return they would give each 700usd in vouchers on American Airlines. So Bob and I and the boys decided to take the option, as we LOVE to travel, and now have free airline tickets for our next Family Vacation!!! Jessica went on home to New York, as her hubby is anxiously awaiting her arrival!
PLEASE PRAY FOR JESS, AS SHE GET'S INTO NEW YORK SHE WILL HAVE TO TAKE ALL OUR LUGGAGE THROUGH CUSTOMS!
THEY WILL HELP HER OUT THEY SAID, AND SHE DOES HAVE A 3 HOUR LAYOVER, SO THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME.
IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A HASSLE WITH 7 PIECES OF LUGGAGE!
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO HER FOR DOING THIS!!!!! SUCH A BLESSING!
So we are now in Brussels at the Airport Holiday Inn, with a pool for the kids and now a good night sleep before another 8 hour flight home in the morning! We are praising God for the extra sleep tonight for the boys before the next flight!
