One year. One picture a day. So it begins...

So recently I've been challenged by several people to jump on the "picture a day" bandwagon. Never heard of it? It's pretty self-explanatory: take one picture a day, every day, for one year. In the end, it's 365 pictures, chronicling a year of your life in photos.

Well, I'm a few days late. So it's going to be more like 358 photos by the time I've done. But hey, better late than never!

So here, without further adieu, are the last two day's photographs.

January 9th - Ruth's 19th birthday! We made her a scrumptious breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage, as well as some of Claire's homemade rolls. We sang "Happy Birthday" and Alicia even found some candles for Ruth to blow out. AND, Alicia and Claire woke up early and made a huge sign out of rocks that said "Happy B-day Ruth" right outside of our front door. (Check out Alicia's blog for that photo) Ruth loved it! Her first full day in Korr was her birthday - what a special way to start your life in the bushlands of Kenya :)

January 10th - You know, just another typical day in Korr - a herd of goats wanders through our yard (and through our fence) to graze as their herder looks on. You can't see it, but there is actually barbed wire strung between the fence posts...clearly, it's doing a lot of good. Don't worry, Mom - the barbed wire is far enough apart that goats seem to get through without a struggle, but hyenas are much, much bigger than goats ;)
