we are...

we are...

we are STILL looking for a house

they are few and far between here

thinking it has lots to do with going into the "holiday/vaca" season here

plus

the fact we are a rather LARGE family

Joe and I have 3 to look at tomorrow and calls/emails into several others

please pray we find something soon

we have applied for schooling for the big kids

the new school year starts in Jan 2011

so they are enjoying an extended break

and learning the area/culture

looks like they will be in grade 3 and 1 here

just like in the States

they go by age here 

and that is where they fall

we were very impressed with the school and have heard wonderful things about it

pretty sure i dread the day they actually start though,

i like having them close to me

we rented our second car today

the first we return to the airport tomorrow

still on the hunt for a permanent car

once again,

we are a LARGE family

and the cars here are what my family calls

"skittles" 

thinking we will resolve this issue within a week

but 

we did buy Bristol a new car seat today

the one she has been in goes back with the car tomorrow

we got it at a toys/babies r us

not quite the same as back in TN

but

definitely

was a treat to see reminders of the States

who knew

 i could drive like this?

opposite side of the road

opposite side of the car

shifting with left hand

i'm pretty sure the grands are going to miss
this sweet thing when they leave.
the baby, that is, not the hammock:)

and for your comic relief...

the wind here is incredible. 

i guess that it goes hand in hand with the scenery.

but really,

it is something wild.

this pic is from the infamous chapman's peak drive

there are no words for this stretch of road

now back to comic relief

the grands are in full "cousin it" mode

harry potter joined us on this adventure

askedech is not sure what to think after being taken from her cozy car seat snack and all

and the rest of us

we are lovin it!

here's to life in africa
