counting down days

There is so much I have to say! I don't know where to start... We are coming home really soon. Only a couple more days! I am so excited to see you guys. We have a new countdown. 10 more days, 9 more days... etc. etc.

We have been rice and beans a lot for dinner. Well, I think it is because we are trying to keep our budget down. I am getting kind of tired of it. Is there any food that you get tired of? Please write down on my comments.

I gust want to let all you guys know how I love you!

hi guys...

Hi! I miss you guys so much. I think when I come back to America, I will miss Africa , too. I can't be in both places at the same time. It is hard. I miss you guys. I will miss my friends here in Africa. I did my recorder class today. Everyone told me that I have the best teacher to teach me Recorder. They say he is the best teacher in the whole school. He never yells at anybody. Whenever you think another teacher would get angry, he just makes up a funny voice, and says, "Please, sit down and leave the poor wasp alone!" or "Sit down, please." Our worker Daka got a new son today. He called dad this morning, "Congratulations! We have a baby boy!" That was so funny. We went to see the baby and it was wrapped up in six blankets so you could hardly see any of the baby. Whenever you parted the blankets so you could see his face, the African's would just close it back up so you could see any of it. They are afraid that the babies will get cold. We love you! Bye!

Another update

Hi everyone! I miss you guys so much! We went swimming at our friend, Leah’s house yesterday! It was really hot out. The pool was really cold, though. But it felt good. We are coming home in six weeks. I am looking forward to seeing all you guys! When I was laying on the couch and reading my book, Stuart Little, Louie came up and cuddled with me. And unfortunately, fell asleep. Here is a picture of us.I went to my recorder class today and the teacher said I did good. That is about it. It is almost time for dinner. We love you! Bye!

Sunday Update

Hi! I am coming home in 1.5 months but I am not telling you the date! Today mommy and I had a date! We went shopping and we went to lunch. I had a potato with egg, bacon and splurged on some cheese. It was so good. I had my own coke. Yesterday, Daddy and Mommy had a meeting and all us AZ kids played at the farm. I was really tired but we had a lot of fun! We played cops and robbers. Philip was the robber's leader and Macy was the cop's leader. I was the robber's captain. Rachel was the helper. Gifty was the distractor, most of the time. Caleb was the substitute if Phillip or me got caught. It was fun.

Today, I made pancakes. I accidentally put in soda instead of salt but they tasted the same. We are doing three activities after school at LICS (the international school near us). I have on Monday a class called Science Investigators. On Tuesday, I have recorder class. I am borrowing a recorder from a friend. And then on Thursday, I have art class.



A couple of days ago, we found a baby cobra in our yard. Lungu had chopped it with a hose so he couldn't move, but he could still strike with his mouth. A couple of days before that Louie (our cat) found a mommy cobra about 1.5 meters long. Julia yelled, "Bradyn, Bradyn, look a snake. She wasn't at all scared of it! Auntie Miriam yelled at Julia to get away from the snake. That was when I was Rachel's house. When I was at Rachel's house, we found a tiny baby cobra trying to eat a baby frog in her empty pool. A lot of cobra's in just one day.

That's it!
Talk to you soon!
Sincerely,
Kamryn

Hi!

Hi! I miss you guys so much! It is getting really closer for us to come but I am not going to tell you when!!! My daddy got his toenail cut off because it was really infected. I am so glad we are coming home. It is sometimes the only thing I talk about. I ask, "Mommy, when are we going home. See that airplane, I wish we were on it. Momma, I miss all my friends!" (But, I have a lot of friends here that I like, too!) As a matter of fact, I actually made some new friends - Rachel's friends from her school that I met at her birthday party! And you won't believe this, there was a girl there who was from Zimbabwe and her name was spelled C-A-M-R-Y-N! The other ones were Emma, (not Emma Whitfield), Sarah (not Sarah Melville) and that's it! Oh, an Phillip, of course, Rachel's brother. I'll talk to you later!
Sincerely,
Kamryn

An Easter Update...

Hey Guys! Happy easter! It's a little bit late. The power has been out a lot. We had the orphans over for Easter. We played a lot of fun games, had an Easter Egg hunt, watched a movie and had dinner. I wish you guys could have been here. What did you do for Easter? Please send a comment letting me know what you did for easter. I am curious. I took this picture I miss you a lot.

Sincerely,
Kamryn

Tuesday update...

Hi guys. How are ya? I haven't done a poll or blog in awhile because the power is always out on Tuesday night. But, right now it is on for a change. I am so excited to come home.

Here are some updates:
Mommy is feeling better. She hardly ever feels sickness unless she takes her whole pill. The vitamins are so strong they kind of hurt her but she knows it is good for her baby.

My sisters are fine. Bradyn is standing right here chewing on a pen. And Julia is somewhere taking a bath. Bradyn is recovering from her fever and sickness she has every week.

Louie is doing fine. He is getting bigger. It will be hard to leave him when we come home. Here He is right now purring as if he wants to talk to you guys! A couple of days ago I woke up and he was sucking my hair.

In school today I got an A in my math!!! In my Mcall Crabb which is reading the story and answering the question, my score was 10th grade. Whenever I get an A or A+ in my math, mommy does this "oh yeah" dance. Mommy is a really good teacher. I am glad that Mommy is teaching us.

I have some friends here. Macy and Emma Whitfield just had a baby named Marly Anne Taziona Whitfield. Her middle name is Zambian. Rachel and Phillip are at school most of the time and I don't see them as much as everyone else. But, I should see them a lot because they are my neighbors. We see the Roberts kids almost every day!

I was climbing an avocado tree and saw my neighbor. I said hello in Nyanga and asked if she was well also in Nyanga. She said she was fine in Nyanga. If you are wondering how I can speak Nyanga, mostly I listen to my mom and dad's language class.

I miss you guys so much!
Love, Kamryn
