Away

Hi, just want to share a few pictures that highlight our time away from the village in the capital city of Kampala.  I admit the city isn't always a get away here, actually it can be stressful.  However, we have learned to make it as enjoyable as possible.  We had a refreshing time staying with our friends, accomplished what we went for, and had fun time as a family out of our normal routine.  And I loved having convivences and comforts again.  Hot shower, toaster, microwave, upright fridge, fresh fruit and veggies, nice, clean, big grocery stores...  Oh the little things that make you thankful.  

We did a lot of reminiscing of the now 15 years in Uganda.  Many places attached to memories.  Our 3 and 1 year old then are now 19 and 16!

As always we were glad to be home again too - at least almost all of us.  Makai said, "Not this home,"  when we arrived to our house in Obule.  He has not yet adjusted to the change.  Although it is good to be home, I admit that it is also hard.  Living here can be hard.  It is so much hotter and more work to live.  I guess that is why we have to make the effort to get away sometimes.

Honestly, we love eating out at great restaurants in the city!  Coffee, ice cream, salads...(:

Craft Market - our kids are so fun!

Even a camel ride this time!  Hey it's Africa why not?!

The girls took a photo shoot while at our friends house.  I think they look beautiful!
Great job on the photos, Emilie!
