Note: Added a few shots on November 21. I thought a few iconic animals as well as a couple photos typifying the boys would do well here. Micah was entranced and eagerly scanned the horizon with Daddy's binoculars. Tiras snuggled with Mommy and often snoozed during our game drives.
We are back from our adventure on the Maasai Mara and more details will follow on that, but for now the following summary will have to suffice: spectacular, breathtaking, amazing place!
Micah starts school tomorrow (actually, later this morning as I have stayed up reconciling our cash expenditures in Kenyan shillings with my bank records--it became an addictive quest). He's noted that he is a little nervous. He loved his old class and teachers and I am sure this year will be great for him as well, but I'll be happy for him to have the newness factor and unknown behind him.
Our last shipment of belongings arrived. We have been busily unpacking and getting settled ever since. Given that more than three months have elapsed since we did that packing and given that some items were suitcase bound, others in the air ship, and still others designated for storage, we had actually forgotten a lot of what might be arriving. There's still a goodly amount left to do, but between the happy reunion with my file cabinet and the difference a couple rugs make in upping the comfort and coziness factor, a sense of "home" is within sight!
One last item arrived Sunday...our long awaited car!!! It was so rainy here today that we didn't venture out for an inaugural drive, but Deron is most pleased to be driving himself to work in his own vehicle come tomorrow.
Happy remainder of Labor Day!
How did the first day of school go? What kind of school is it? We're into our 3rd week of school here and ready for a middle school dance tonight.
