Home Bittersweet Home

Well, we made it back home...about as smoothly as possible.  We all four slept for a pretty good chunk of the night our first night back, which should definitely make transitioning to the Central time zone easier!  However, Harrison and I are kind of melancholy.  We really weren't ready to come back home.  There's something about Kenya...the culture, the environment...it's indescribable.  Here are some snapshots to help me keep this trip in the forefront of my memory:





I am struck by the number of siblings at the Virginia Home:






In the above photo, the father pictured is the cook, and three of his eight children live and matriculate at the Virginia Home (he lives just down the road).  There are more siblings than those I have pictured above, but I didn't have photos of them.

I have so many more stories of our wonderful experience in Kenya and I will be sharing those over the next few weeks, but for now we are safe at home, and ready to start a new school year...and missing Kenya A LOT.
