Love Them!

Lantern Light

Power outages are a common occurrence here. We are getting to be experts at lighting our kerosene lanterns.

Anna White

The Cameroonian Way!

This morning, Anna took lessons on carrying a baby the Cameroonian way! Doris, a Cameroonian friend who is helping me around the house, gave us lessons. It was great!

 Anna refused to hold still for a picture with Doris, but I wanted to post this anyway. Today I am especially thankful for Doris. She is so kind and such a huge help. She is a very practical way that God is providing just what we need each day!

And on a side note, I made roasted soy beans last week for the first time. They are so yummy . . . but I am still wondering why soy beans in Cameroon are about 1/4 the size of soy beans in America.

First Day of School

Gracie started going to a little preschool this week! It is two mornings a week and so far has been just great. It's giving her some interaction with other Western kids her age (there aren't that many here at the moment) and is giving some structure to our week. I've also enjoyed some one-on-one time with little Anna!

 Walking to pick up Gracie from school (this is on the compound where we live). Gracie's school is about a 10 minute walk from our house.

Gracie's class 

She LOVES this doll house! 

And just for fun: Anna, determined to put on her shorts by herself. She is SO independent these days. 

How could you not love that face!
