It wasn't in the brochure, but our house comes with an 18-month old named Faith. Also not advertised: dog, puppy, chickens and roosters, goats and a pig. While all of these have provided gleeful distraction for our children they have each compounded our acclimatization. Faith is a joy. She is also omnipresent; any gathering, all meals, nap time, bed time, what-would-have-been-a-moment-of-peace time. I was daunted by bringing a twelve-year old and an eight-year old to Africa. Now it appears we'll have a toddler along as well. Pictured: Faith with the girls, and, Faith with the mortar and pestle used to pound fufu (fufu is food, not the name of the puppy).
Sounds like the simple things in daily life are very time consuming.
ReplyDeleteFaith is the cutest kid. Love your blog. Thanks for the photos. Helps to get a feel for things there.
Faith is adorable! Sounds like you've made wonderful (and loyal) friends of all sorts, including a few you could eat!
