A Long Overdue Post

I will have to admit I have gotten lazy about blogging. Well, maybe not, lazy, but just so busy I haven't had time to post anything.

First, can anyone guess where we are living now?? We are in Uganda. We arrived here in the middle of Oct. Jon is in his research year for his Ph.D. We will be here until June 2010.

I will admit I wasn't eager about this move. I was a little excited to come back to Uganda, but the thought of packing our lives again in 50 pound bags did not excite me. We moved from Cambridge at the end of July back to the United States for two months to see our family. We now have things on three continents; a storage unit in Lexington, things in a friend's garage in Cambridge, and our things we have right now in Uganda. At each move in our lives, Jon and I dream of a day when we will be able to settle in one place.

Jon spends most of his days interviewing people and reading through different archives. I have been staying busy also. I am back working 2 days a week in the field office doing accounting. We are also home schooling Kiah, which takes a good part of my day. She is in part kindergarten and part 1st grade. She loves school, always begs to do more. I cannot believe she will be 6 next month. Jacob just loves to play. He loves cars, trains and anything else with wheels. He loves playing and talking with our gardener, Mugisha. Karis is such a fun baby. She is rolling over now and for the most part is pretty happy. My favorite part of the day is when I walk over to her bed and peak in, she smiles from ear to ear when she see's me.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, I am reminded how much we have to be thankful for. I am thankful for 3 healthy wonderful children and a husband who loves me and takes such great care of me. We will be celebrating on Friday with our friends here in Uganda. I am a little nervous as the 2 turkeys are my responsibility to cook. My oven is very big and they will both fit. Unfortunately, there are no Reynolds Turkey Cooking Bags here. I have to cook them the old-fashioned way.

I am going to try to do a much better job at blogging. We have already had some interesting experiences while here that I will share next time. Thanks for reading!!!
