Tyler!!

In just a few hours, I'm hopping on the shuttle to Nairobi to go pick up Tyler from the airport. I'm SO EXCITED! It's the best post-Valentine's present ever. He and I are going to Zanzibar next week together, and hopefully will get to go camping the next weekend. To celebrate, I am posting a picture of him and Rusty, one of his dogsters back in Florida.

Things are going wonderfully for Umoja. Our new school has opened, and on Saturdays, it's absolutely overflowing with children and parents of all different backgrounds who are there for the art, dance, and music classes taking place. It's quite busy the rest of the week, too -- and with a kitchen to make tea, a nice new electric piano (thanks Mom and Dad) to play on, and great people around me, it's a fantastic place to teach. I wish all of you could see it!
