Daniel finally writes a blog... (but Libby chooses the title)
Hello All
As Libby has pointed out, it's been a while since I have contributed to the blog. This is partly because life has been a bit manic, and partly because, despite the manicness, there has not been a lot going on that is worthy of publication. Work has been very busy with all the additional flying towards the end of last year as a result of our assistance with the famine relief effort (which continues). In addition we are still working on building our capacity in Juba so that we can increase the flying in South Sudan more efficiently. At the moment we have Nairobi-based pilots rotating through Juba on a weekly basis, and several rotating short-term staff helping out with operations and administration. We are hoping that in time we will have a full complement of staff and the accommodations and infrastructure to support them. All means lots of work...
In addition I am trying to get ahead of myself at work, and trying to set things up so I can work remotely. This is because we will be returning to the UK for 4 months at the beginning of April. Number four is due at the end of June, and given Libby's history with pregnancies and births we have decided it is prudent to not test the Kenyan medical facilities to their limits... :)
So we will be in the UK for the longest we have been since 2006 - which should be an interesting experience! It willl be interesting to see how the kids (and us) adapt to 'normal' UK life, albeit for a short period. Although we will probably not be up for a great deal of travelling we hope to catch up with as many of you as possible. We would be grateful for prayer for all the logistics of packing up here; travelling to the UK, and setting up a short-term life in the UK!
Incidentally, this is our 600th blog post since we started way back in 2005 - and according to our statistics we are just short of 10,000 page views - thank you all for your continued attention and support, especially in the times when we are short of inspiration!

Hope packing etc is going to plan. I don't know where you'll be based when you're back here, but I've got some baby things that you could borrow if it helps (and if I can get them to you!). Things like a swing crib, washable nappies, a car seat (which is currently with my sister-in-law but I'm pretty sure she's not using it now), baby gym, various toys. No buggy/pram I'm afraid because ours only just lasted for our two kids!
We also have a spare booster (car) seat that Caleb could borrow if you need it.
Let me know if any of that could be useful, or anything else you'll need and I might be able to get hold of it.
God bless you in the specially busy time you have ahead!
Love Mel
