First Day of School

Tristan and Emma climb onto the school bus

Emma spots the bus coming down the street. She was a "little" excited!

Waitng for the bus

Ever since we arrived Emma has wanted to get her hair braided so yesterday while Tristan was at a friends playing, Emma and I spent the afternoon at the mall hanging out and having her hair done. It took a little over an hour but she was so patient. They gave her a Coke, put on Shrek and she was set! She loves her hair and hopes that it will last forever!

Tristan and Emma headed back to school yesterday after a way too short break. We all had the "first day of school jitters"! When they got home, Tristan and Emma both reported that they love their new teachers and were glad to see their friends again.

This year they also started taking the school bus; what an adventure! As you can see from the photos, Emma was very excited about the bus! She was the first one out the door and down to the gate. Our guard, Samson, was pretty excited about the bus stopping as well. He went onto the bus with the kids! Aaron and I will be starting class in September so in order for us all to get to class on time the bus is necessary this year.

Also, this week we will be meeting with the group of twenty-seven people here from Brunswick Street Baptist Church, New Brunswick. They are here with their pastor Terry and Brenda Atkinson working in Kenya and Rwanda with our national partner churches.
