This Present Journey

Monday, September 5, 2011

Went to Telluride today! It was absolutely beautiful. It's still warm, no color change yet, but beautiful. There is just something about getting outdoors and admiring God's creation, and spending time with family.

Toby loves the Gondola ride. All he kept saying was, "Ride the gondida, momma, I want to ride the gondida." He doesn't quite get the "L" pronunciation yet. We're working on that!

Throwing rocks in the river....

Here he is in the "gondida" again.....

Smelling the flowers :)

Thanks for all the running around and entertaining us. You are a fun three-some! Time for ice cream...; September 25, 2011 at 9:48 PM

Why Ethiopia?

A Unicef report states that in Ethiopia there are at this moment 4.5 million orphans on a population of some 90 million. The 4.5 million means that 5 percent of the total population is an orphan. Orphans are in Ethiopia defined as children under 18 whose both parents died. They died of AIDS, untreated illnesses, hunger, draught and war. There are about 2.5 million children with disabilities. Ethiopia counts one of the largest populations of orphans in the world: 13 per cent of children throughout the country are missing one or both parents. This represents an estimated 4.6 million children – 800,000 of whom were orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
