Currently...
I have copied this blog format from someone else's blog ( hope that's OK Jocelyn) because I think it gives a good idea of what's going on with us at the moment.
Currently enjoying :
- The perfect weather, warm in the day but cold enough at night to use a duvet
- The kids being able to play outside so much and with other children
- Living in a house with no fleas
- Having all our own stuff now the container has arrived [well, almost all - someone swiped our supply of print cartridges]
- Caleb beginning to talk. His current words are: mummy, daddy, ball, baby, Boo, car, dog, cat, Barbie (Bethany is very pleased about this), more, Oh dear and juice
- Appreciating simple things - I was so pleased to get broccoli the other day that the pilots brought back from Dar, and the strawberries from Mbeya
- Work
Currently watching:
- 24 season 3, highly recommended, but quite addictive
- The Wiggles/Barney (nothing changes...)
Currently reading
- 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck (actually, just finished)
- 'The Incredibles' by Disney Pixar (Joshua)
- My first ABC (Caleb)
- The Weekly Telegraph
- 'The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes' by Bill Watterson (or at least Daniel is in the bathroom!!!)
Currently preferred food:
- Anything I don't have to make
- Daniel's granary bread (made in the bread maker)
- Yogurt made with the yogurt maker
- Homemade peanut butter
- Cold sodas
- Fresh tomato soup with chapatis
Currently working on projects:
- Trying to write to as many people as possible, sorry if you haven't received anything yet, I am working on it
- Trying to sort out the house and find homes for all our stuff.
- The first official newsletter
Currently praying about:
- Which church to go to
- Kids behaviour - is it Larium related?
- My paranoia about fleas and head lice
Currently wishing for:
- Being able to shop without everyone starring at me and begging for money or trying to sell me spears and drums
- Tesco's chocolate muffins
- Take-away restaurants
- Nice places to take small chhildren
- Starbucks
- Family and friends
- Being able to speak Swahili better
(this list isn't in order of priority!)

nice blog format... altough I think we need a photo of L sometime!
In my 'mims index on medicines' it says that larium can (note 'rarely') cause changes in mood...suggests changing drug for another if any 'neuropychiatric probs'. one of main (not so rare) reactions is sleep disturbance which i think daniel had. I would of thought though (says she who is not a doctor!) that over time sleep, mood changes etc. would go once got used to drug. When i see dr perry next I'll ask him about larium and any affects on child behaviour.
p.s I too am currently wishing to be near you guys and have just posted you a letter instead which should get there soon! Wishing I could hear Caleb's new words too!
p.p.s Very glad to hear that you are enjoying new house and expect daniel is pleased to have a cat (wish I was allowed one!)
cannot believe you have been there so long already. Love the blog enjoy reading your news. Must say at one stage I fancied being there myself - now not too sure. Understand your worry about head lice and fleas - I used to have some myself (worried not fleas or headlice!)- at one stage the school was riddled with it. Anyway,
hope all remains flea less. Agree that I would quite like a pciture of you on the blogg too!! I'll write again soon.,
ELS
