hello friends,

it has been sooo long since I last updated our blog and I am sorry for that. I have not been feeling well and than we had family in from Germany visiting us here in Tenerife. And after a wonderful time with them we had a bittersweet ending of our time ''of the ship''. We got robbed and all our cah money, electronics like our laptop, video camera, ext.hard drive, etc. got stolen. We are grateful that we are okay and have slept through all the thiefs activities - must have been a heavenly sleep, God watching over us.

Now as we are two days away from sailing to Benin, we were able to at least get us another camera so we can take pics in Benin. The photo I posted is about the tours we had on the ship. They went well and a lot of interest from the public. We ourselves weren't part of it, because we were still on vacation, but the PR team did a great job.

We had an ultrasound yesterday and the baby looks healthy and well and was trinking a lot of ambiotic fluid which caused ''it'' some hickups later. It was so funny watching it opening its mouth and trinking :-) !! It is about 10cm long and very active and we are excited about the new addition, due date is some time around end of July - beginning of August.

Sorry that I can't give you any other photos, because all ours were on the laptop and hard drive and they are gone. So we have to start all over again.

God bless ya'll and thank you for your encouraging e-mails and support we got from you since our robbery. This too shall pass !!
