Ketchup...

I haven't used that blog title since our inaugural blog post.  It seemed a good time to bring it out again.  If you're confused about the title see the original post Ketchup?.  Here's a bit of a timeline review for the recent past of the Koontz family:

10 December 2011: Depart Freetown, Sierra Leone
10 Decebmer - 15 December 2011: sailing (dolphins and whales and sharks, oh my!)
15 December 2011: arrive Tema, Ghana
15 December 2011 - 5 January 2012: Christmas and New Years in Ghana (good times)
5 January - 5 January 2012: depart Tema Ghana, arrive Lome, Togo (one day sail - it should be mandatory to sail for at least three days just to make it worth resecuring everything for sea)

So, here we are in Togo.  We're pleased to be back.  It has been wonderful to reconnect with many of the day workers that helped us last time we were in Togo.  We're looking forward to a great 5 months. 

Here are a couple of updated photos of the kids that Dara took at Christmas:

The whole pack.

The boys.
