Grace and Family in Uganda: December 2013
http://bridgerandsanyu.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Grace and Family in Uganda. Thursday, December 12, 2013. Graduation and End of the School Year Festivities. To start blogging again but am already behind! But better late than never, right? It seems like lately our rather mundane lives have had a flurry of activities - many of which I've been able to catch on camera. Once an American always an American so I arrived at the celebrations a half hour late, only to be the first one there for about an hour! What a party pooper I am ;). Ella passed P2 (Second G...

Grace and Family in Uganda: November 2013
http://bridgerandsanyu.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Grace and Family in Uganda. Monday, November 25, 2013. We’re not very mushy around here and we don’t believe in flattery. Yes, we have been known to butter each other up in hopes of a favor but usually our compliments are well earned and genuine. Which means I get very few! But I must have done well in the last few days because these are a few of the touching compliments I have received. Glad she appreciates my careful driving and non drunkenness! If nothing else, my kids are honest! And it perked their ...

Grace and Family in Uganda: October 2012
http://bridgerandsanyu.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Grace and Family in Uganda. Sunday, October 21, 2012. Little did we know. That our cat was so interested in education! She's hooked on phonics and reading. She's hooked on spelling. She's hooked on even more spelling. And I guess she's Hooked on Construction, too! The Tonka truck makes for a fine bed. Even little Billy is Hooked On Phonics, too! It's amazing (and somewhat sad) at how little blog or facebook time our cat gets. And guess what? She even has a name, Lucy! You are very under appreciated!

Grace and Family in Uganda. Thursday, September 20, 2012. Glory be, we are HOME AGAIN! We had a great 4.5 months in the States but it is always good to get back home and to one's life again. Especially when your home is NEW, like ours, and YOURS. No more rent for us! I was pleasantly surprised (and ecstatic) to find our home in even better shape than when we left! Check out all that grass! Billy was glad to see the Polly Pockets out again! A Billy Pillow. He's very squishy! What a GREAT place for Pack Wa...

Grace and Family in Uganda. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Oh the joys of school! So the kids have almost completed an entire school year in their private Christian school. And let me tell you folks, we’ve ALL LOVED it! Some things though I HAVE noticed are probably different from my kids experience than to a “normal” American elementary school experience today. I love some of the stories they come home with and the subjects they learn about! Here are just a few. Americans are so down and mean on heavy peopl...

Grace and Family in Uganda. Sunday, April 5, 2015. The Ugandan Easter Bunny wishes you all a Christ filled Easter. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Who needs Pintrest any ways? Oh wait. maybe I do! Check out Frankie's (on the right) cool Easter basket - looks suspiciously like on of my mixing bowls. ;). I am a CHEAP person but something got into me this year and I spent about $20 on Easter CANDY. That's right - on CANDY! Tearing into their Easter chocolate! Due to the recent (scary) terrorist threats and...
