The Creation of God
I was sitting at our desk which faces the porch from the inside of the banda. Out of the corner of my eye I caught some movement in one of the trees outside. As soon as my eyes focused through the screen on the window, I couldn’t believe what I was looking [...]

Swahili is tough
I had no idea my brain could function the way it has over the past 3 weeks. So much information for such a small mind as mine!!!
Dana is leveling out morning sickness wise. Not sure if it is because of the vitamin B complex or the surpassing the 1st trimester mark. Either way, she’s now [...]

We’re Bird Brains
