Life With E

When we go to the Super Marche I like to look at the French coloring books and play on the boxes and cases of beer while Mommy & Daddy get our groceries and practice their french with the workers. I also like to hold a basket and help carry our things.

Tuesday Toe Day: The day where we cut our toe nails and get them painted. (This way I don't bite them!)

One of my chores is to fold the washclothes. I'm getting really good at it.

We ate african food at a restraunt with our french teacher. I really liked it and ate alot, but look at this HUGE plate of food they gave me for less than $2 USD. I liked the cabbage. The owner of the restraunt really liked me and called me his wife. I liked all the attention. He did something similar to "this little piggy" to me with my hand. It made me laugh.

We went to a village about an hour away from where we live to meet our french teachers' family and spend time with some new friends. Ms.E's family was very nice and I had a great time playing with her nephews. One of them was just my size and age and a ham just like me! We had a great time together. While we waited for lunch to be prepared we ate peanuts for a snack.

We also spent some time with new friends. We ate pizza for dinner at their house and I got to use this Barbie cup. I wanted Mommy to take a picture of it. We played and had lots of fun at their house and even got to spend the night.

Love, E

The Mystery of H

(She came up with that title on her own.)

One of my chores is to fold the towels.

We had our first african food. It was good but a little bit spicy. I always had to take a sip of water when it got spicy.

We went to our french teacher Ms. E's house in a village about an hour away. We met her family. This is her nephew. While we were waiting for lunch to be prepared we played with some of her nephews.

We had some pizza and spent the night at some new friends house. The pizza was really good. We played games and watched Bambi the first and second movies.

We played outside a lot when we were there and it was fun. We jumped on a big trampoline and played boxcar children on the roof and swam in their pool on the roof too.

Love, H

More E Happenings

Sometimes at "Siesta" time during the day (the hottest part of the day around 1:00-4:00 when life around Africa slows down) I end up falling asleep even though I usually don't take naps anymore.

I got this hippo after my first hippo turned my hands purple becasue it was dyed instead of being made out of dark wood. This one is the real thing made out of dark wood.

I love going to the bakery. This is my favorite. A yummy doughnut the size of my head!!! What more could a girl ask for?!

One night we had hamburgers for dinner. I decided to put my zucchini on my burger instead of on the side like everybody else. Mabye I am a future chef?

Today we went to the outdoor Market and I got a pair of flip-flops. (Mine got left in the US.) I kept saying, "Thank you, Mommy, Daddy, my new flip-flops." (Daddy got a new pair too. His got left behind too.)

Love, E

More from H

Having fun doing school with Daddy. Daddy does school with us when Mommy is having her French lessons.

I love my new turtle. Mommy and Daddy bought it for me from an African boutique. I picked it out.

We also got new African clothes. Mine looks like seashells and crab hands. It is brown and black and white. I picked it out. It is pretty.

Love, H

My Life in Senegal

So far I am really enjoying Senegal. My favorite thing about Senegal so far is talking to friends and family on skype. Everytime I go by the computer I say, "Talka ______!" And I fill in all the names of the people I have talked to on skpe.

Here is a little about my daily life here...

I enjoy getting as dirty as I possibly can. (But still being a princess while doing it!)

Here is my favorite hiding spot. It's just my size and I entertain myself here often.

Whenever Mommy goes out to hang up or take down clothes I am right there tagging along. Sometimes I "help" other times I just explore in the yard or stomp on ants.

There are lots of seashells here and i like to entertain others by pretending to be a pirate with a seashell in my eye.

I wanted to show you a picture of "my room!"

I like to go to this restaurant so that I can play with the toys and the server knows me by name. I like the french fries.

I love to go searching for seashells at the beach and make Mommy hold them all. Every itty bitty one I find. I do not really like the sand in my shoes, but I am getting used to it.

Love, E
