The annual Statoil Company Christmas party was held on Saturday Dec. 4, 2010 at Atlantico Sul in Luanda Angola. This year Statoil employees plus service company drivers and the wonderful people who work in and around our homes were invited. The food and fellowship was wonderful. After dinner there was a DJ and a clown who provided music and entertainment for all. The evening was filled with the sounds ofa latin style music and a warm summer breeze which inspired everyone to join in a group train dance as well as dance challenges and a fun game of musical chairs, where the winner was hoisted up onto the shoulders of his fellow colleagues. We want to wish everyone Feliz Natal, God Jul and Merry Christmas!

A baby is born!

On November 26, 2010 a new addition graced our lives here in Luanda. Little Kara is named for our daughter who was also born on this date in 1979. Little Kara decided not to wait to be born in a hospital and arrived enroute and was delivered in the car with the help of her Grandmother. Her Papa, Ricardo was with Vicki doing the normal Friday errands. This Friday ended up being anything but normal. It was an incredible day for us all! What a blessing! We want to welcome Kara to the world and pray God will watch over her and keep her.
