Writing at last...

Okay okay oookay. Here I am, blogging at last. You know, I really just need to claim this blog as my own. I think it would make blogging a bit more comfortable. In any case, here goes an update on things going on in Eastern Africa! :)

Preschool has gotten a ton better! It's so much fun. We've got our routine down and the kids have started chiming in now and then during song time making it less of Danielle's solo time. Last week I found a recipe for finger paint that Staci and I used for science/art, it was great! We had leftovers so I took it to preschool! They loved it. Thankfully it WAS edible so their curious little mouths didn't harm their pudgy little tummies. They've also gotten into Duck Duck Goose. Lazaro goes around the circle saying, "Duck, duck, duck....okay COME COME COME!!!" Musa has a hard time saying goose. He stands behind the "goose" with his hand placed on their head waiting ever so patiently. Oh, with a faraway look on his face to boot. We have fun. :)

The weather is hot hot hot! And getting hotter hotter hotter. I was pretty drenched in sweat after hanging my laundry to dry yesterday in the noontime sunshine. African sun doesn't mess around. OH I was doing laundry because I'M GOING ON SAFARI THIS WEEKEND! We're leaving tomorrow morning and will be back Sunday afternoonish. So three nights and two days. Woot! I will be better about blogging after safari, I promise!

Today I had an amazing opportunity to go with Anika to a village home and cook! We met Emmanuel this weekend through Darren whose work coincides with ADRAs. Emmanuel is 15 years old and goes to a sponsor school in Arusha. He dorms there most of the time but this week is holiday so he is at home for the week. He invited us to his home to see more of his life and to learn how to cook authentically!

I know I haven't blogged in nearly a month but I'm really not feeling wordy so this is where pictures will speak! :)

...Okay this is frustrating. Three days later and the pictures won't post. Check Facebook soon?
