Sophia Anne and Chloe Catherine
We are growing!!! I took the twins to the clinic to have them weighed...Sophia was 4.8kilos and Chloe has made 4.4! The whole process is a bit different here than when we took them in the states...some of you may remember from when the big girls were little.
In the states they would take off all of the babies clothes and even their diaper and lay them on a scale with a clean blanket on top.
When I took them to the clinic down town, they kept their clothes and their now cloth nappy on and I put them in a sling. That sling then hangs from a big scale with a meat hook on it. Anyway, all that to say a bit of weight was added in the process surely, but either way they are both gaining. I'll try and snap a picture when we go for four month shots and weight checks in mid-Feb.

I love this picture of Chloe because she actually looks CHUNKY!!! The truth is there is still nothing chunky about either girl, but they are growing!!! Their faces really are fuller! HALLELUJAH! PRAISE GOD FOREVER!!!
They actually do smile now intentionally and Sophie (on the right) even "talks" quite a bit. Chloe just listens to her like she is a crazy girl...I wonder how much of their personalities we are seeing already!
They are wearing 0-3 month clothes rather than newborn now!!!
They hold their heads up and are generally seeming like big babies now!

Thanks for praying for all of us to keep growing in Jesus!!!
Billy is making 32 on Friday!!! What a love gift he is to all five of us everyday! Jesus is teaching Him more of Himself everyday and we are all richer because of that!!!
Elsie Jayne is healthy now. It was just a stomach bug I think...the fever was only that one day and now she is well!
Lucy is doing great. Her rashes are finally fading and she looks like herself again!!!
Jesus is healing us! We are settling in and we are making new friends in our neighborhood even as we reconnect with our old friends. Do keep praying for Jesus relationships and that we might be a LIGHT.
The weekend wasn't totally as we expected it. Our crew going into Congo, including Scott Rambo, got turned back at the boarder. There were a few extra "fees" required that weren't legitamate...so they came back to town. We'll try and get proper visas from the embassy in Kampala and try again when Jesus opens the door again. You can guess that has been discouraging, but we are still holding on in faith believeing...we will take the land in His time.

Our time as a Sudan team was great! We really enjoyed getting to know our newest team member and dream together about what 2012 might hold!! Having Auntie Joy here was really special for Elsie Jayne and Lucy Mae as they remembered her and were delighted to see her again!
We were really thankful for the opportunity for Billy to preach on Sunday. Jesus helped him and we ask you to pray with us for the congregation made up mostly of street children from here in Arua and people who support and care for them.

Thanks for continuing to carry us to Jesus in prayer. He is faithful and will complete all He has begun...in spite of us!!!
