Well, sorry for completely abandonning you guys :)

It has been a pretty full couple of weeks, as most are when one has 13 children and oversees the care of hundreds I guess. There have been hard moments and stressful moments and frustrating moments and sad moments, but always more frequent are the joyful moments. I can think of nothing profound to say. Every day I am more and more in love with life and with my Creator. I look around my kitchen, that can hardly contain the huge pots that feed hudreds, or I look out into the yard, littered with baby dolls and flip flops, my babies chasing the goats through it, and am still amazed sometimes. I can't imagine life anywhere else or any other way. I am just so thankful. So thankful.

I leave tomorrow for about 5 weeks of fundraising and hanging out with my family in the States. I am ALWAYS so sad to leave, but this time I know how quick it will be. We have been extremely blessed to have my dear friends Shana and Renee, with whom I share many fond memories of Uganda, come to stay with us. They will be here with the kids until I come home. The kids simply adore them, and I am pretty sure it is mutual. I am so so thankful for them, and feel less anxious leaving knowing that they are in such great hands.

So, more soon. Please continue to pray for my sweet girls as I am gone that they would be healthy and happy and loving eachother and their Maker more and more. And also that they dont drive Shana and Renee insane, just kidding ;)

I probably won't be updating all that much, so check out Renee's blog, www.servinghischildreninuganda.blogspot.com to check up on what's going on here and learn about (and donate to) the awesome ministry she is starting here, as soon as she's done with this crazy family!
