April isn't over yet?!

I've done so much this month, and it isn't even over yet. What am I doing with myself? Kaya (don't know). But I certainly am keeping busy.


I had some extra material lying around so I sewed a dress for Laha. I have a strapless dress out of the same material so we can dress mother/daughter.
Laha turned 5. We killed a chicken and made curry and rice (big deal meal).

I also made a birthday cake with homeade frosting.

The girls liked the frosting that night, but only would eat the cake part the next day. Strange children.

I had my second snake encounter in country. This time it was in MY HOUSE. I was getting ready for bed and saw it behind a bucket. granted, It was only a foot long, but a snake. The biologist in me dissected it as a lesson for kids.
I hosted a yoga weekend for Easter.

We cooked. A lot.

Pitas.

Hummus.

Chicken Fajitas.

All fresh ingredients.
I had my friend Joce remove my stitches from a mole removal. She's going to med school so I figured I could be practice.

We sang hymns to bring a feel of Easter to Malawi. (Don't worry, I usually wear clothes, but we decided it would be nice to lay out in the sun and have girl talk).
My house is getting an addition. The current size is 14 X 14 ft. The addition is a bedroom that's 10 X 10! I don't know what I'll do with all of the space.

How the materials got to my house.

Half way!
Plaster.
Meagan the Builder. So it's not as catchy as Bob the Builder, but I've become quite the mason. Or at least brick layer. I made a bbq pit. Here's after day one. Now I've plastered and will finish with a cement prep counter. I was tired of cooking on the ground.

I've been nurturing my nursery beds of carrots, tomatoes, soya, and flowers.


And also nurturing my relationship with these beautiful women.Life IS Beautiful.
