Jacaranda

We've gotten in the habit of going on a "family walk" on Sunday mornings before church. We are up by 6 and church doesn't start until 9:30, so we have plenty of time to take a walk around the block. It is also hopefully helping train the kids for our future climb up Mt. Mulanje (the highest point in Malawi).

It's a beautiful walk in the morning as the streets are quiet and the trees and flowers are starting to bloom. The jacaranda trees are just coming into blossom and they are a beautiful purple. We have started a game in the car like "pididdle"--the game in which you call out pididdle when you see a car with a headlight out. The Malawi version is "jacaranda"---so you hear Sydney and Sam screaming "Jacaranda" over and over while we drive around town and see all the trees in bloom.

We hope you enjoy the pictures (even though they are a bit fuzzy--our camera is acting up)
