As many of you have probably figured out, Charlie and I decided to head home a month earlier than expected. There were a few reasons for that: 1. The work that I (Laura) could do was limited by the fact that I had a 20 month old running around...loved it, but hard to work with other kids when one very adorable kid is demanding my attention. 2. There wasn't much to do with young kids in Arusha besides a swimming pool and play groups. It was a bit isolating. 3. The security issues were still there...better, but still there. 4. I wanted Eric to have the freedom to go off and travel to villages, treating individuals, if he wanted without worrying about us at home. Those were the main reasons. Another valid and fun reason was that my sister just had a baby and this gave me an opportunity to fly to Fairfax, Virginia to see the little guy. He is precious and it was fun to be able to help her out early on.
It has been busy since we have been back. The first week was spent getting over jetlag and visiting my new nephew. The second week has been getting organized. I am in the midst of trying to find a place to live (my parents have lovingly opened their house up to me and Charlie but I am anxious to find a place to call home again), doing taxes, and making a space for Charlie and I to stay in the basement for a while. It is humbling, frustrating and very nice all at the same time...strange but true.
That's it for now. Hope everyone is doing well AND, I too, want to make a public proclomation that Charlie and I miss Eric. We can't wait to see you!!
