Waiting

Hi everyone,

  So where were we? We are now one week from starting classes again. My second and final year, part of me is really looking forward to getting back to work and another part is really not (I'll miss the time with my family). It should be a fairly difficult term, with 17 hrs in Translation a bit of linguistics, cultural anthropology and greek (for the first time). Junio has been in school now for 2 weeks and is enjoying 1st grade. He has a great teacher, and seems to be doing quite well. Annabelle went back to baby class today at the school here on campus, she also loves it and was scooped up by one of her favorite teachers at the door, and whisked away without any trouble. I am glad she has a good time and can be social too. 

Jamie is doing ok. As many of you know, she broke her foot, but it is mending quite well. We are still waiting for the little one ot come out, we've had a couple of close calls, been to the hospital a couple of times but still no baby. Last week we went in, after she had contractions all night, and it appeared she was in pre-term labor (35 weeks), so the doctor tried to stop it, but that didn't really work. So the doc decided ok, lets just let the baby come, but she wouldn't and the contractions left on their own eventually. We had discussed an induction, but in the end decided the best thing to do was to wait. So wait we did and waiting we are still. I keep telling Jamie it will be sooner rather than later, but still it's difficult with a big belly, on crutches, having  mini-contractions all the time. Pray for her. 

We have had our friends, Ian and April, here all week which has been so much fun.  They were able to do some work for Pistis School, the little Kenyan school here on campus that Junio used to go to and we also did some fun things with them like the giraffe center and the elephant orphanage.  They are also friends with Don and he was able to take them camping and on safari at Nakuru National Park.  Attached is a picture of all of us at a BBQ at Don's house.  

We'll attach some fun pictures. Thanks for watching. Keepin you posted.
