Oh, Happy Day!!

This morning, Nina and I went to the Kiserian Market to get a few supplies, and actually stuck to the plan instead of diverting off into different directions.  We found a great table full of trousers, visited my friend Catherine in her shanga shop, grabbed plenty of bikers for the girls and ended up with the normal supplies from the grocery store in town.  

We arrived at WWC in record time, before noon. Nina brought along 4 bags worth of supplies; last week it was Kinex, Legos and art supplies.  Today, it was clothing - jackets, shoes and more Legos.  While Nina continued her mission to get the children to decorate their journals, Penina, Grace and I separated all Nina's clothing and shoes and handed the clothing out little by little.  Everyone was far too busy to be interrupted from their art and Lego construction.

It was such a happy day at WWC today!  Not that today was any different than most, but the air was clear, the skies were full of billowy clouds, the children were busy with a myriad of activities and Joshua returned home from school for the month. Everyone has missed Joshua, myself included.  When I spotted him walking down the path, I was taken aback by the level of confidence instantly apparent in Joshua's stride. Clearly, Boarding School has treated Joshua well, and has been good for him. He is extremely happy, engaging as always and just....delightful!  

The children were, in a word, ecstatic to see Joshua!!  We didn't get much time to chat, but will tomorrow.

Mary and Puss-Puss.  She is the only one who gets away with holding Puss-Puss this way, making him look like he's had a face lift.

Welcome home, Joshua!

We all had a beautiful day together.  It was blissfully

HAPPY!

With much love from Kenya tonight,
