I cannot believe my little girl is already a month old! We are finally back in Morogoro after over 2 months in Nairobi. I personally miss it already, I loved being able to jump in our car (an automatic) and hop over to nakumatt (sorta like a walmart) and get things like pop-tarts and sour cream. I was even lucky enough to find Philadelphia honey nut cream cheese at the butchery right buy where we were staying. Ahh...those things will have to wait until we head back up in April for our big meeting. They were nice while they lasted and since we are driving up in April, we will be able to bring all sorts of good stuff back with us.
The trip back was not at all pleasant...oh, the plane ride was great and Zoe slept through most of security and customs...but as we were leaving Dar to drive back to Morogoro we noticed both our ipods had been taken from our car and not an hour later the clutch died on our Patrol and we had to wait on the side of the road for someone to bring us another car so we could head back to Morogoro (don't get me wrong...I'm SO thankful that we actually have someone who is nice enough to drive in Dar traffic to bring us another car...I don't know what we would have done otherwise!) We came back to a house that was SO unbelievably hot and no electricity. I think I forgot how hot Tanzania was while we were enjoying the cool weather of Nairobi. Anyway, we are home and it's nice.
Zoe is growing like crazy (more length than weight)...she has her Daddy's height. Ok, well she has her Daddy's everything (check out the picture below...DEFINITELY a nate face!) I think the only thing she got from me was the little wrinkles on her forehead. We are falling more and more in love with her every day. She is smiling at us (and when I say "us" I mean mostly Nate...I get an accidental smile now and then). Our dog, Chester, couldn't care less about her. We were kinda worried how he would react to her since he is such a huge dog. But really, he sniffs her now and then but mostly just leaves her alone. I think he is still trying to figure her out.
That's about it for now...except Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law, Liz, and my sweet God-daughter, Campbell!
Seems like the girls always have a thing for their daddies. Don't worry one day it will be mom that she seeks out for advice and such.
ReplyDeleteI know that Zoe is a very fortunate young lady to have 2 precious parents who love her so much. God's richest blessings on all of you.
