More From E

We got a new dog named Aslan and I like him a lot!

I call every meal breakfast (no matter how many times Mommy corrects me) and I really love to eat. Especially breakfast! Here I am with a yummy bowl of oatmeal.

I had my secong dentist check-up (my first was in the States before we left) when a volunteer team came and did dental clinics in some villages. I wasn't crazy about the idea at first, but once I sat in Daddy's lap I was fine. :)

We got new African clothes. The tailor is the one who gave me my African name and he asks about me everytime Mommy goes there. Don't I look cute?!

My sisters have started going to school. I miss them when they are gone but am doing pretty well at playing by myself. At least I have Aslan now too!

We went to an island in Senegal before we left and after we took a tour of the island ate at a restaurant. I ate shrimp; look at the size of it!

This was our guide. (Please pray for him.) I was his little tag-a-long. I'm pretty sure I've never met a stranger. I make friends wherever I go!

When we got off the ferry to the island I lost my flip flop in the water! They were able to move it to the front of the boat away from the dock and a boy swam out and got it for me!

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
