Africa Interrupted

My April trip to see more of Africa was all planned: I was off to Egypt the week after Easter. Then I got wind of a rumor at school: no school the week before Easter. Once confirmed I made plans to spend my extra 10 days visiting the kids and seeing our new grandson born....

I arrived in New York City Monday March 28 to the welcoming arms of Tyler and Rebecca who masterminded the air arrangements on 72 hours notice...3 great days in NYC was a treat once I got my US legs back. With no sign of Baby Morse arriving in San Francisco,I moved on to Dallas to see Andy, Chelsea, and Meghan, a re-invented little girl from January. How much and how quickly a 2 year old changes! We dyed Easter eggs and filled plastic eggs with candy together; Chels provided a fabulous Easter brunch with Dallas pals and lots of Chels' family, too. By Easter night I arrived in nasty rain in the Bay Area where Blaire was still holding her own. The doctor stepped up the inducing so on Tuesday April 6 at 1133am Theodore John was born (7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long). What a joy to see Teddy as he arrived-Mikey beamed and Blaire was radiant. There was lots of good time to hold and ogle Teddy before I returned to New York on April 7.

Today April 8 I will jump the non-stop flight to Cairo where Dick will join me to do some Africa exploring. I will be back in Kakamega about the first of May so will update you when I return.
