Back to Work & Back to School

We are back in Nairobi after a short trip to the US. We enjoyed our time there, but probably didn't spend enough time with anyone. For those of you that saw us in early July, I have recovered from my monster case of poison ivy. No more steroids - I was beginning to feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy!
While we were there, we enjoyed seeing family, friends and supporters. We thank everyone for the hospitality and fellowship during our travels.
We returned to Nairobi last Friday night. The trip was not so bad, but it was the first time that we have not stopped somewhere on the way and rested. What a difference that makes! Jet lag has been rough for the whole family this time. We are not yet on a regular schedule, but hopefully all will be normal soon.
The next few weeks will be spent catching up with our projects and starting the research process for 2009 projects. We will update you as we progress with our work.
Well, here we are at the beginning of school. Horace, Jr. begins 9th grade which puts him in high school. Mary Shea begins 6th grade, which puts her in middle school. Both are ready for the challenges, but it is hard to believe they are making these transitions. The main comment today for Horace from some old friends is "He's huge!!".
