can't think of a title

I realize that I need to be better about posting on the blog. It probably just goes to show how very busy this season of life is for us. Seattle was busy, but in a different kid oriented way where I would lock myself in the bathroom and blog for my own sanities sake. Rwanda is a completely different type of busy. Work is all consuming and also best left un-blogged about which doesn't actually give me much to write about at all. Needless to say, it is hard. Very hard but fulfilling. Life draining and giving all at once. Kimi's work has become all consuming. We had a conversation about it. We'll see if things change.

Being here has been eye opening on so many levels but I find myself thinking of my Seattle friends daily. And I do mean daily. I actually try to stop myself from thinking about them, but why? The thoughts bring me happiness most of the time. While there this summer Rwanda felt so far away. Like a distant memory. But I carry Seattle very close to my heart as do my children. It makes me realize that these relationships I invested in will need to continue being invested in in order to grow. How to make visits happen is a question I'm toying with in my mind in a serious way. We'll see what I can come up with.

In the mean time. The after activities school club coordinator (aka Kimi) put on a show for parents this last week to showcase some of the clubs and let the students perform. Because we are at work, Ayumi was signed up for every single club we could manage. That included Bollywood dancing, Rwandan drumming, Rwandan dance. She got to perform in all of them. She's an amazing drummer I have to say and a determined if not natural dancer. He teacher was sick for Rwandan dance and she was too nervous so daddy stepped in.
