Fancy Tree

G’s fancy Father’s Day tree has found it’s permanent home. Now let’s just hope he’s happy here! We’ve been googling a bit to find out best way to take care of him and hoping for the best.

Kitty Shots

It was her first visit to the vet. All microchipped up and vaccinated now:)

Sickos

Girls have been home most of the week since we think they have the dreaded virus… boo. Sore throats and no taste and smell and just a bit tired, plus that annoying cough. Homeschooling all over again… my favorite part lol. They will get to go back to school on Monday! Oh and this mum scored some mums from Costco that are huge:)

Blah Day

The girls and I took a day “off” yesterday. We were all feeling a bit blah. Even the kitty took in some extra snoozes…

Boat Day

Today was our big boating day! It did not disappoint. Todd (G’s coworker) let us do all the things… super fun:)

Visiting

We made it over to visit Franknbetty:) Even mad her famous cornbread that night!

Reminder

 Just a reminder of how incredibly BLESSED we really are to live in this country!

Five years ago this month, I made my first visit to Uganda and saw firsthand the enormous disparity that exists in countries around the world when it comes to water, our most essential resource. I was invited in one village to do the evening water run with the children, who often bear the brunt of gathering water for a family. It took us over two hours of walking down and then back up a mountainside to gather enough water to last just one single night. I have never looked at the sinks or shower in my home in the same way again, as I sadly realized just how much I had taken access to water for granted in my own life.

All this week, we've been raising funds to help children and their families have direct access to water right outside their homes. This makes an enormous difference in the lives of children, who sometimes miss class to fetch water and who suffer from stomach pain and ailments due to drinking water from contaminated ponds.Through our work in Uganda, we have found that rainwater harvesting is a sustainable solution that can help fulfill the basic human right to water.
