Back to school

Yes, the children are back at school. The last week has gone well so we celebrated with the usual end of holidays disco which was enjoyed by all. The boys even made up an 'air-band' before they went but need a little more practice before performing I feel.
On Saturday we had another cookout as you can see from the photos posted. It teemed with rain in the morning so we watched an episode of MacGiver (a series the boys have really enjoyed, it was series 2 and we have nearly seen all the episodes). By lunchtime it had cleared and was sunny so we decided to proceed with the cookout and the weather stayed fine for us. We made four groups of 5 children by drawing the names out of a hat (so it was God's decision as to who should work with whom) and they were to make sausage stew. Our role was merely to sample some of each of the creations and they were such that there were no leftovers at the end. There's normally no leftovers on a Saturday or indeed any night, but each group did a good job. Marilyn had made a dessert which we had inside and finished with a MacGiver which the boys enjoyed more than the girls strangely.
On Monday the children returned to school happily and Marilyn and I travelled to 2Friends guesthouse in Jinja for 3 nights much needed R&R. We will return on Thursday, Aunty Caroline is looking after the boys until then.
We have spent the time resting and swimming and sleeping which has been good.
Piet and Pita are travelling to Holland tomorrow night, Piet's mum has not been well so they want to see her, and hopefully they will also get some much needed rest. Please pray for their journey and for Piet's mum.
We have had 3 new children recently, Nathan a quiet boy about 16 months old, and twin girls, Jane and June, about two years old we think. We also farewelled Adam and Eve who returned to family after almost 4 years at NACMU. It has been quite an emotional week one way or another.
That's all for now, till next time
God Bless
