The Announcement: We are adding one more Ostrand to the crew. Upon returning home to the USA, we found out that Julie is pregnant!

What does this mean? We have South African health insurance and need to have the baby in Africa (for expenses to be covered). The baby is due in early March, and right now it looks like we may head back to Cape Town a bit sooner...perhaps in December.

 

We are thrilled and excited...
appreciate all your prayers for the preganancy and baby!
