Early Christmas

Some family members sent gifts out to us, and we decided to open part of those before we leave for vacation, and the rest when we return. We'll use money sent to us by others to buy gifts at the "nice store" in Malawi, so we'll have Christmas surprises several times! They boys got lots of books, and you can see what they spent their afternoon doing. Scuba Bob also made a reappearance . . . you can see our tree behind him. Yes, it is a fake tree but we are very lucky to have that here. With all the cheesy colored lights, it is a glory to behold and we love looking at it! - C

Bye to Johannes

Here are some silly photos of Toby with his little Norwegian friend, Johannes. He is going away while we are on vacation, and likely won't return before we leave for the USA, and perhaps will leave Moz before we come back, so it was a sad goodbye! He came over and spent the night and Toby and him had a lot of fun. They are in 2nd grade together at school.
