KimmiePie and I visited our friend and her new little baby boy. In this picture, he’s two days old… and really cute. He was so tiny, I could hardly believe it. The weirdest thing about babies here is that, though their parents skin is this beautiful dark coal black, the babies are nearly white. This little guy doesn’t have a name yet, but he’ll get one this afternoon in an elaborate naming ceremony.
Happy Birthday, Danimal
Our teammate Daniel had his birthday yesterday, so we celebrated in style up in Longija. Longija is pretty much at the top of the mountain, so I think his gift was just getting us all to come up there. He made us cake and surprised us all with sodas he’d brought from Loki a month ago and hauled up the mountain one by one. Drinking pop in Sudan is a special, special thing. You can tell, maybe, how excited Craiger is in this picture. And that’s Kimmie and Pattie with him. No pictures of the birthday boy, sadly.
Heno, Heno, Heno
Kim’s a champ because in this picture, she’s helping Anuk spread heno over her yard. Heno, for all ya’ll not so fluent in Lopit, is dung. Of the cow variety. We have to redo our house soon. I can’t wait for THAT day, to be covered in a mud/dung mixture.
Morika!
This is our little friend Morika. The kids love to help me with my laundry, and she helped me two days ago. We had a good time decking ourselves out in clothes pins. Totally African fashion.
