Back in the saddle

The title is figurative and literal... the following examples vary range from "settling" back in and literally being back in the sattle. :) 

Figurative example 1:

A funny t-shirt that we saw on the way into Kampala... Our life in Uganda is a constant life of visual stimulation, mental processing, humor of the unexpected, etc, etc

In case you can't see the boda driver's shirt: Dallas Cowboy cheerleader Dad

Figurative #2:  Wiffle ball days under the big tree.  A family who was part of the games left in May so the parents are having to step up a bit and join in the games... should be fun and funny for all!

Literal #1: Daniel in the back, Jude Reid in front of him and David Dennison in the front.  All learning how to trot a bit... quite a luxury to be able to have pony rides in a lovely rural setting. 

 And the girls giving it a go; my sister Sarah had a time of really riding and I think while this option is available, I like the idea of teaching the kids the virtues of man/woman in good relationship with animal.. 

Figurative #3: Our kids our very blessed to have several other missionary families near us and they have all assimilated well back together again--nice range of personalities, ages, genders, and shared experience.

Figurative #4: Not shown, a line-up of the parents of these kids... we are also lucky to have some other parents/friends on campus to help with the cross-cultural processing and decisions/values that come with living away from family and home culture.
