Emma, Omari, Emma, and Toma are flipping out because the cows are finally here. 

Yeah they arrived.... Emma hold little franky good! Ok this is a great photo of Emma G (holding franky), Emma M. (trying to grab franky) and Emma E. with his arms wide open. 

Yup, I counted and all were there, we headed to the center.

Justin went to San Ya Juu to get the cows, i went the week earlier and realised. WHAT AM I DOING< I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COWS. So Justin went, it took all day, that evening the truck arrived at my house. 

The Cows are unloaded and the chase begins. Trying to get them into the barn. 

The chase is on, all the children herd the cows, to me this looked like a innocent thing. In fact i was impressed that they all knew how. Then one cow freaked and started charging the kids, My motherly instinc kicked in and i began to scream. Noooooooooooooo. Running as fast I could, at that moment one of the men jumped in the middle and handled the cow. She darted in another direction. So we yelled "into the house". All 17 of them now, full force darting into the house, with me among them. 

Even, he just came on Monday. Our newest family member. He is checking to make sure all the cows made it in ok. 

Toma is new around here, he has been here one week. Already he is one of fam. He is having a blast helping to take care of the cows. 

This is Jerome he is our gardner, we love him alot. He is smiling and thinking "Jill, why are you taking pictures of cows". My response, because us crazy americans just like pictures. 

Here are three of the four, they are hiding in the corner of the property. YELLING,, Please get the kids to stop saying "Mooooooooooooo" 

This is Rookie, she was sponsered from funds raised by true baseball fans. 

We had to climb out the windows and jump up. This isnt a park where the animals are tame, so it was important to jump up quickly, no need to be somebodies lunch 

We are on top of the truck watching animals on safari. Lauren(right) is here visiting. Everyone who comes to africa, must go on safari! 

Brian drove us through herds of 100's and maybe thousand's. I am not sure, there were sooo many animals that day. Chris and Brent, somedays you just hit it right. 

Zebraaaaaaaaaaaaas 

This is a impala 

Big ol Lion, this was the closet i have seen a male lion. It was really neat 

These are two of the ladies from the center. Mama William and Emmy, They were all excited to get new clothes. Thanks again. 

Still working through clothes from the shipment. I think we are at the end. This is a photo of one of the women that work at the center picking through the women's clothes that were sent. 

Ok for my last photo for the day. HERE IT IS EVERYONE. MY TRUCK.. Three years later and here is my new baby.

John is lifting himself up. If you know John, he is one of those guys who doesnt like his picture taken, but when he is in the modd, it is "all about JOHN". We take advantage of that, because it isnt often we get photos of him. We try to respect the privacy of the kids who are sensitive in that way. It took awhile for many to trust us, I am determined to not let it go to easily. So if you don't see a photo of certain ones that often, it is because they get photo sensitive. 

Husan and John. Look Aaron, he never takes off your hat.  

Gilbert 

Husan and Manji, these guys are peaches ..really. You would all take them home in a flash. They are the type of boys you pray that God gives you ones just like them. 

I took a picture of the big boys on their beds, so the little boys wanted their picture taken as well.

These are the little boy's shoes, notice how it looks. Can you imagine 100 pieces of clothes looking like this pile.
