We EXCEL at OUT OF THE ORDINARY!!!

Our 3-tire swing is a big hit for EVERYONE!!! Geoff made the extra effort recently to make sure Brian and Kakulu got to participate as well!  A little back strain to lift them on is worth the smiles received!!!!

Kakulu is all smiles as he gets his thrill ride on the tire swing!!

Brian wanted to go over and over and over . . .

Johnny got some extra tender care from Sam as they went quite high with pushes from Uncle Geoff

We finished our science class for the year with a party last week! Our final topic for science this year was dinosaurs.  Kynan and Tiegan had gone digging for fossils and came up with this "dinosaur head" fossil!  Pretty impressive!

Toby, Kevin and Acacia are Sooooooo happy that the tire swing is up and working again!

Brownie, our own personal Kaweewo (Lugandan name) comes every morning for a visit

He loves to eat maize out of our hands. 

Sorry for the lack of updates here lately, the internet has been quite sketchy until this morning. I've been trying to post something on and off for the past couple of weeks, but couldn't get much of anything to load.  I was thankful this morning when things seemed to be working a bit more smoothly.  This past weekend we took Nabukeera and Sam to Entebbe to swim. We all had a great time, despite the cloudy, rainy sky!!! Nabukeera says she likes to swim when it's cooler anyway! After a day of swimming in Entebbe we hooked up with the Brown's in Kampala and swam the second day as well. The kids had a great time playing hard with their friends and Nabukeera enjoyed some fun after the hard work of her S4 exams over the past three weeks! Sam, Toby, and the rest of the kids in David Family will take their end of year exams this week, so please be praying for them to do well. 

These days we are cleaning out, cleaning up, organizing, giving away, throwing away, packing and gearing up for the end of the year festivities (NHVI graduation, Primary school closing, S4 banquet, NHICF graduation, end of year staff party, an introduction for Stella and Bizimungu, and trying to visit with as many people as possible before we go)!!! As I talked with one of my dear girls yesterday, I explained that I am not happy to be leaving her and the other kids in David family, especially as they are entering a pivotal year next year. But, as I told her and will reiterate here, God made it clear to us that His plans are not all about US, but what He knows to be best, and His best plan right now is for us to go to the U.S. for a visit. So, we Brittons fly out of Uganda on the 7th of December, will spend a few quiet days in the Cotswalds, and land in Denver on December 12th. We'll be sending out a tentative itinerary with our next newsletter, so you can get an idea of the areas we'll be visiting. We'd love to see as many of you as possible!!
