Kenya

You should all know that we have decided to move to Kenya to work for the MAF Program there. Our timetable for this year is that we will move to Kenya sometime in August and then go back to the UK for home assignment at Christmas. So if you were planning a Tanzania visit you need to start putting your bids in. Dodoma feels a lot more like Africa than Nairobi does, well to us anyway. So if you want a more 'African experience' you better get here quick.

Other highlights of the week include Caleb climbing into the taka taka pit (again) to retrieve a dead mouse that our cat had half eaten. I was not best pleased as you can imagine. Caleb and I are not working from the same page in the manual that reads how to keep you kids safe in Africa. In fact I think he hasn't even read the manual. Having just de-wormed him I hope he hasn't picked up any other kind of nasty.

We are in the last week of the school holidays and the kids are enjoying just playing around the compound. Collecting stones, sticks, swinging on the new tyre swing, making things with bits of wood and looking for bugs is keeping everyone amused. Playing lots of imaginary games with the neighbours is also very popular until it descends into compound wars.

All the children are very keen to go to Kenya. Caleb started to pack on Monday. he said "Mummy that's my school pile and that' my gun pile". I have managed to persuade him that it is a bit early to pack yet!

However we do need to start thinking about all the paperwork for moving to another country and think about what we will take and how!!
