Back in Zambia

 

I returned late Monday night from the US.  While there I visited our children and grandchildren, including a new grandson, and attended Orphan Summit IV.

 

Much has been happening here while I have been gone.  Some little things stand out to me:

*There are new faces among our children!  We now have 4 different sibling pairs including a set of twins. 

*Another house is full with Rose (our second Rose) and the children who will call her mom.

*The village chickens have 2 batches of chicks (15 all together) and another hen is sitting on her eggs.  We only bought one of our village chickens.  The rest were gifts from the families of the children who have come to visit.

*Poinsetta trees are in full bloom.  Rather than being potted plants at Christmas time, poinsettias here are tall trees with the blooms at the end of the branches.

 

It was good to get back and see my family and friends half a continent away from my family and friends in the US.
