Kids’ Doc in Jos

Luke with delicately carved jack-o-lantern. Nose and left eye have been carefully reimplanted.

We’re supposed to be leaving for the US on December 4, and staying for six months’ “home assignment.” Luke, unfortunately, won’t be able to come with us because we still don’t have any official status for him. We might be hearing news on that soon. Meanwhile, we’ve had a very compressed two weeks of holidays, starting with pumpkin carving on Nov. 12 (we don’t celebrate Halloween but finally got around to carving a pumpkin anyway), Advent starting Nov. 18, Thanksgiving dinner this afternoon, and opening Christmas presents tonight. Not our usual schedule!

We didn’t specifically celebrate it, but besides today being Thanksgiving and Christmas, it also marked eight years of Luke being with our family. He came Thanksgiving Sunday, 1999.
