Happy birthday to our dear Simon! :)

Yep, it has been Simons day today...he turned 12 years...time surely flies...I can still remember the first time I saw him in Kenya..he was then like 4 years only..didn't talk much, just said "Hi, how are you"...like almost all the kids in Kenya say when they see a mzungu (white person ;) )...hihi..and it is now like 6 years that he has been with us here in Europe...and he knows Finnish fluently and swedish too now..and english and swahili...amazing, eeh? He is really a helpful and nice boy all in all...despite the times when he might lie about where he has been when he comes home late or if he has taken something without asking etc. just those small small lies that I guess all the kids say at some point in their life? Or what do you thing? Have you done that when you were small? Lying to your parents? ;)...Admit it, you have! :D

Unfortunately we could not do so much celebration for him now because of our financial situation but I promised that he will have his part of celebration next month when we will combine all our kids bdays into one big one...hopefully it will happen! God willing! :) But I know he understands and he even told that there is no need of doing anything special because we need to get ourselves to Kenya somehow in December! :D

Speaking of that...the tickets are just getting higher and higher and some days just seem to be so hard when it comes to getting the tickets..I mean..the dream of going to Kenya in December fades away when you see the ticket prices raising higher and still no money gathered for those...now today even Phares told that he will not even go anymore and that maybe we should postpone....NO...I DON'T WANT TO POSTPONE...I want to go nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! :) I miss all my family members in Kenya! and those friends even that use to live in Finland but are back in Kenya..I miss them and I surely want to see them!! :) And I want to take our kids there to see their Kenyan family...it is important...even Isabella keeps on talking about that soon we will fly to Kenya and she will see her baby Peter and big Peter and uncle David and Nimo and cucu and guga and so on....oooh....God will help us to get the tickets, Amen!

My sis-in-law got the chance today to get the tickets...and my bro-in-law with his family has already the tickets also...so it is only us remaining now...please! We have to go there!! :)

Anyway...now I have to go and sleep and pray that tomorrow is a better day! And hope that Simon enjoyed today even though we didn't do much! :) Oh, but at least he got to bake some muffins....and they surely are yammy...mmmmmm! :)

Good night you all! :) <3

Blessings!
