Things are getting closer to normal as Arielle's parents and sister prepare to leave tomorrow and we are done hosting. It's been great having them here to visit and they have really embraced Amani life. Today Arielle's mom cooked all morning with mama cook and we all served the mamas a special lunch. They were so grateful and excited. Her mom, dad and sister Bri have loved spending lots of time caring for the babies and the kids have grown to love them lots! Things at Amani are good...no new babies but some room switches and goodbyes have happened. We said goodbye to two big boys a couple weeks ago. Jimmy and Junior have outgrown Amani and have moved on to a wonderful new home, New Destiny. It was sad to say goodbye to them and Amani is definitely different without the two of them around, but we are all confident that they have many new friends and are healthy and happy. They could usually be seen helping the grounds keeper, Joseph, push the wheelbarrow or working on something so I'm sure he is also missing his two little helpers. We also said goodbye to Amberly (Olga) as she left for her new forever family. Happy news for her and her family, but again we were sad to see her go! Hannah and Brian moved out to the toddler house and are doing great. Both are happy and seem to be talking so much more already! Ruthie Lucy is walking pretty well now which is great, but we are all missing her cute little scoot a little bit. That's about it for Amani news...we'll post soon about school and Bible study and our other Ugandan daily happenings.

RUTHIE"S WALKING. oh my goodness. its so crazy to think how much can change in 50ish days. Its hard to think that come september our ugandan journey will have started 2 years ago! Time flies.
i miss you guys so much. sometimes i just have a funny story to tell you or i'm so mad about something, or i'm desperately home sick for jinja, and there is no one to tell it too. i love you guys. i love you so so so much. and i cannot wait for july when we i get off theplane and run into 2 sets of open arms.
love amy.
