Saying Goodbye

The hardest part about leaving a place is saying goodbye to the people you've met while there! This week we've said a lot of goodbyes.

Drew's last day of work - saying goodbye to colleagues.

He's going to miss these people!

Saying goodbye to Byron.

Farewell dinner at Cafe Javas!

Saying goodbye to Shiphrah!

Eloise had fun crawling on the table from person to person!

Enjoying chocolate fudge cake (the manager gave it to Isaiah for free because he touched it on the shelf! Whoops! )

Goodbye dear friends!

Saying goodbye to Juliet, Drew's awesome boss and friend!

Saying goodbye to Beej.

More goodbyes!

Saying goodbye to Shiphrah and Wendy.

What makes saying goodbye even harder this time is that now we have an almost 3 year old who thinks of Uganda as home and his friends here as some of the most important people on earth. When he says goodbye this Monday he's not going to realize that it's for the last time ever. But I know that once we're back in the States he's going to be asking for his friends here and the reality will sink in. :(

Isaiah is going to have the hardest time saying goodbye to our house helper, Suzy! For the last year she's spent every day of the week (except weekends) in our home, doing the housework and cooking, but also spending alot of time with the kids. Both Isaiah and Eloise ADORE her! They both call her "chu chu", give her lots of hugs and kisses, and miss her when she's gone for the evening.

Suzy has been a wonderful blessing in our home and we will miss her also!!

Goodbye Suzy!

Goodbye kisses from Isaiah.

Goodbye hugs from Eloise.

Saying goodbye to one of our neighbors. These boys have lots of fun together!!
