I got malaria- and things haven't been the same since. I don't quite know how to explain it, I didn't even get that bad a case of malaria. Holly and William are back now, which has been really nice. It is nice to have some of the responsibility lifted from my shoulders and the freedom to leave when I feel like I need a break. All the kids are healthy right now-- I haven't had to make a clinic trip in over a week--that has got to be a record!! The kids health is something to praise God for!!
This is the kids last week of holiday before they go back to school. We have tried to make this week fun for them. One day we had a "party" day- and had water balloon fights, 3 legged race, wheel barrow race, water relay, dance competion, and snacks and soda. It was so much fun for them--and fun for us to watch them have so much fun!! Another day we took them to a nearbye swimming pool--exhausting for us, but again, so fun seeing them have so much fun as they jump on our backs and swim around under water. Friday we are taking them to "Dee Dee's World" in Kampala. It is an amusement park/water park. I have no idea what it will be like. I'm sure it will be fun for them though. We don't normally get to do all these things with them--this has been a special week for them though. It is priceless to see their excitment and happiness over even the smallest things! It's alot of fun.
