Fun in Malawi

The kids have loved being back in Malawi. Mostly, they were excited to get back to school at ABCCA. But we have had some other fun event and surprised since we've returned. We were happy to find in this transient community in Lilongwe, that while we were gone a new family moved in across the complex from us. They have 2 kids--Josiah-age 7 and Tasheni(sounds a lot like Tacheny with accents on different syllables)-age 5. Our kids have loved being able to just run outside and play with friends. We are very thankful.

As you can tell from the pictures, Sam has become quite a builder/architect. He and Mike worked together to make this K'nex roller coaster. I was proud of how well Sam did putting all the small parts together, but even more proud of Mike's patience in "supervising" the project.

Sydney's second favorite thing in Malawi is getting to play with Joyce's son, Jeremiah. You may remember he was born in June 2008--so needless to say he changed a lot in the 4 months we were gone. As soon as Sydney gets home from school, she finds Jeremiah and holds him and plays with him until he goes home. He is a beautiful baby!
