A quiet Christmas season

Being the holidays, we are on a slower pace as many have left the site to be with extended family.  This means that those of us still here are enjoying a VERY QUIET place and also taking advantage of the time to have leisurely visits together!

The lovely Kate, our Special Needs Director, and Shakira, our most recent child to undergo heart surgery at Mulago Hospital in Kampala. Shakira is doing quite well. And her hair is amazing . . . I think if you let those lollipop looking thingies unwind, you would find an overpowering fro!

We received lovely handmade Christmas Cards from the Special Needs class, and Brian and Kakande were so happy to be the ones who delivered it to Geoff!  Brian called out across the compound, "UNCLE GEOFF!!!" The two boys enjoyed giving their creation to Geoff. It was a sweet moment.




Later in the day we received a visit from Kakande (he's over a lot these days--so bored with most of the children gone).  He brought us this lovely little guy balanced on a stick.  He knows we like them, but he braved his fears to bring it--hence the VERY LONG stick to keep it FAR from himself!

The fish was THIIIIIIIIS BIG!  Just kidding.
Geoff spent some time this morning teaching Sam the particulars of some "honey-do's"

We will be back in this space soon, but wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a lovely season of family and sweet treats!  Celebrate with joy the Christ child who came that we might have LIFE!!!!!
