The Apprentice returns…with a new apprentice and address

Shalom my good blogren.

it has been many moons since my last post and I’m pleased to say it’s not because of the blogcks. The Master has gone and blessed my wife and I with  the most beautiful little baby girl. I have been on a 3 week paternity leave and just returned. I thought, there’s no better way to launch my new blog premises than with a few pics of my new heart.

Ladies and Gents, I give you, Kemigisha Alanna Birungi — “Wonderful Beautiful Blessed One”

She’s alot taller than she looks

It will be interesting to journal my many adventures as a teacher and not a student. Parenting is the highest calling in human society. We are in great proportion as direct result of the parenting we received.

I didn’t have a very good father growing up and I’ve always wanted nothing more than to be a great father to my own children. Now I have the chance. I pray the Master will guide me in this amazing calling. I’m really kinda terrified to be sure. Holding her little body in my arms as she gazes upto me, totally dependent on me and her mother for everything. Phew! So to any parents in the blogsphere, petesmama, any help will be muchos appreciated.

Here’s to an exciting future. And welcome to the new Apprentice blog

Shalom
