TCKs

Our team is going to miss the three Masso children dearly as they are heading back to the US for the next seven months.

Gaby is just so cute, and he knows it.

Even when Gaby puts on his Jedi fighting face, he is still cute!

Liana is wearing a dress she designed and sewed herself.
She even taught me how to sew last year.

I love these two pictures of Acacia.
The first captures her natural smile and warmth.
She didn't know I was taking the picture. =)

This is her classic awkward face as she wonders why I am taking a picture of her swinging.

There are five TCKs (Third Culture Kids) on our team. The three Masso kids have spent most of the lives in Africa. Gaby even calls himself African American since he is an American born and raised in Africa. Last night as we celebrated the Masso as a team, we were playing a game that required everyone to answer questions written by other team mates. One question read "What is your favorite African English word or phrase?". Acacia answered that she can't tell the difference between African English and American English which makes complete sense for her.

It isn't uncommon to find TCKs living and working overseas as adults. Larissa and I are also TCKs in different ways. I have a unique connection with my friends that are also TCKs. I could ramble on more about TCKs, but that isn't the point of this post.

The Masso children are returning to America for the first time in three years. Pray for these three wonderful little people as they go back to a country that their parents call home.
