After a long break from this blog,* I'm going to have another go at it in case friends and family at home would like to check in.
I called the blog 'love you tutter' years ago because that's how Kiera was saying 'love each other.' She's since learned how to say it properly, but thankfully Luke hasn't and still says 'love you tudger'...evolution of the phrase passed along from sister to brother. I love that he still also says 'benember' instead of 'remember.'
We all arrived in Windhoek last week- David on Wednesday with Peanut, and the kids and I and both dogs on Saturday. I'm so thankful we all made it safe and sound. The kids were superb travelers- patient through it all and thrilled to have their own little movie screens on the plane.
Luke and Dave have joined not one, but two golf courses, so they are settling in just fine. Luke loves seeing warthogs running around on the course that is outside of town.
Kiera has found The Book Den - a lovely bookstore in town, and a violin teacher, too, so she's feeling better about all of this. She misses her friends in Texas a lot, and her fabulous teacher of two years, Frau Maar...so this hasn't been the easiest transition for her. (She's ok with me sharing this, and hopefully she'll write some of her own blog entries some day!)
I'm excited to start volunteering at the local SPCA and to spend more time training Ella and Henry.
*Looking back, the blog seems to have come to a screeching halt when Luke started figuring out how to walk. Not. Surprising. At. All.
