as i've stated many times over the past few posts, everyone is missing home a bit. I think the time alone with no outlets, the lack of family, friends , etc. is amplified during these times off of school.
but today was a nice day, a normal feeling day where the kids and I ran errands, jacob went to a friends home and Kate tried to recover from an illness.. We've had a hard time of late not thinking of home and concentrating on how great our experience has been here. But today Maura and I visited Michelle at the clinic to drop off some paperwork, and i realized(again)why we are here and how truly blessed we are to have what we have. The clinic was full of children, waiting to be seen, waiting patiently with their mothers, grandmothers and a few fathers. It made me happy for our time here and happy for the time left here to experience this great place. With my dad's death a month ago, i've been eager to get home. But when I see that place and the kids in need, getting treatment, etc. I realize it will be awfully difficult to leave everyone here.
That's it.. Nothing new to report.. Kate's no longer puking, don't know if i stated that earlier.. I went to Spar(grocery store) and bought rotten chicken for dinner... had a new license plate made(ours fell off of our truck) which is a cool thing.. they make it in front of you, blockprinting and all. Bought some soft cirtruses from a vendor in the parking lot and watched the babies and Maura devour 7 ears of corn for dinner. We went to the big department store(Game) looking for french press for coffee, no one knew what i was talking about... i got the classic Botswana "What?!?!" from the workers.... I'll always remember that. And we headed to an art store "Artswana" to get jacob some drawing supplies... he's really into drawing of late.... digging the how to draw books alot... pictured is his recent doodles.
