Friday tea time with the moms

Since school finishes at 12:30, we always have to plan events for the entire afternoon with the kids. Usually the time gets filled with homework, lunch, driving to and from school, swimming lessons or playdates. The other Friday, one of the moms invited a group of us over for tea and a big play afternoon with the kids.
As many of you know, I am a coffee drinker through and through, and tea is not my favorite. I am trying to adjust to the tea-drinking, British-influenced culture, but it's difficult. =) So thankfully, coffee was also served. (Although, I think it was actually unbearably hot that day and I chose to drink a cold glass of water instead. )

I am thankful for these moms who have become my friends over the few years we have been here. They are a wonderful bunch of people with interesting stories of either growing up in Malawi, or being transplanted here like us. There is a common bond among moms whose kids are in the same school and the same classes. And I am thankful for all I have learned from them about life: from tips about parenting, to living in Malawi, to cooking . God has been so good.
