~ Kathryn (Shauen's Mom) holds Josiah ~ Mom (Kathryn, Shauen's mom) has arrived in Uganda! There is no flight tracking in Africa, so once her plane left European airspace, we pretty much had to assume it was going to arrive in Kenya about as late as it had taken off from Europe - which would have made her connection in Kenya pretty tight. Sure enough, Mom called from the airport in Kenya to let me know that her flight had arrived late in Kenya but that her connection had also been delayed two and a half hours so she wouldn't miss it! Later we found out they delayed that flight because they were waiting for another plane from Europe to arrive - those pesky snowstorms in Europe just upset all kinds of things in Africa! Since I wasn't too sure that the delayed schedule would be kept, I did head out to the airport a bit early so I would be sure to be waiting for Mom when she came out of customs.
Mom arrived at some awful hour of the morning, well worn from her travels but happy to finally be on the ground in Uganda. And she brought way too many suitcases with her (but I suspect much of what she packed will be left here with us)! Yay Mom! Welcome to Uganda! -Shauen
