This past weekend, we shared a time of good-bye with our friends the Enns family who are returning to Canada for a year to live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The Enns have been friends, since we first met in 2007 at Rosslyn Academy where they live on campus as Wes is a high school English teacher. We've had a special connection as each of our children have come up together in the same classes in school (and preschool). We are sad to see them leaving, but so glad that they will be back!

Who could be mad at this face?

On the home front, our kids are looking forward to the June and July "winter" vacation in Nairobi. They finish school at Rosslyn Academy at the end of May, and will go back in the second week of August. There will be lots to do over the school break, including some quality time with our three pups. Hermione will turn a year old this July, and already she seems to be teething. Over the past few weeks she has taken a liking to our young palm trees that we had bought when we first moved to Kenya. We had kept them in our apartment before moving to the house -- it has been fun to watch them grow with us -- that is until Hermione decided that they were a nice chew toy. The other morning we awoke to find a four foot palm reduced to a three inch stump, with Hermione asleep in a nest of twisted fronds and frayed strands of the stock. Those dogs!
