the After

So, once we found out where we were going, and were able to have fun with family and friends for guessing where we went next, things are pretty quiet and anti-climatic. This is what we have done with the after of telling everyone we are going next to New York City:....

Yep! not much. We told everyone, everyone is excited for us and they all say they want to come and visit us. Then nothing else exciting has been going on. Next month I promise we'll have more fun to share about living here in Zimbabwe now (we are going to Victoria Falls next month!). But for now, we are just a little boring.

I did get sick a couple of weekends ago, the sickest I've ever been I think. It took me two days to recover and we still don't know what caused it.

Tyler last Sunday hurt his back. We found out that it was a torn disk, so all he can do is rest. Well, Tyler can't rest, he has a very hard time resting. So he is working four hours a day and then coming home to rest, but I really know he wishes he could be there longer working. O-well, doctors orders, kinda. :) This is Tyler resting.

Spencer is having fun at school and learning about silkworms and Zimbabwe. Not the two together, but separately. He has started doing spelling tests this year, and is doing fairly well. He did start going to soccer on Saturday mornings, and he loves it!

Oh yeah, there is one more thing that we did do, night kite flying!!! Spencer got this kite for his birthday and wanted to fly it, so Daddy went outside to help him fly his kite....with a flashlight.

Lastly, here is a spider we recently killed. It's big, and gross and popped.

BEWARE: this is a gross picture!!! EWWWW!!!!

Also a picture of some flowers that are growing in our yard that I thought my mom would think were pretty.

So you see, we really are just plain ol' boring people here. Not much else is going on. I'll write more though after our trip to the Falls. We are planning on going to a couple of the parks nearby to go on safari runs, hopefully a night lion run, and enjoy the country we are living in now. Stay tuned.
