Well, we experienced our first somewhat long (for us) power outage. It was about four and a half hours. It really wasn't bad until 5:00 when I wanted to cook dinner. Luckily we have a gas stove (we are the only people on the compound with a gas stove). So I made tacos in the dark because our kitchen does not have a window to the outside. Jason lit a candle for me and when i thought the meat was done I had to take it to our dining room (where we had very big windows) to check if all the meat really was cooked. Then we invited some of our neighbors over to eat (because they couldn't cook.) So we had an impromptu party.
It is very cold here (50-60 degrees). I am always cold so yesterday I decided to make a fire which helped and I will probably make another fire today.
The kids are doing well. Lexi and I started school. While Nate is taking his nap and after Lexi rests for a while we have our own small room and we work on some preschool workbooks I brought. The kids both got to run errands separately with Jason yesterday. Lexi went to the school and to the Massai Market and Nate went to the grocery store (at the busy time).

Wonderful to hear about life in Kenya and what's up with you! Is it cold all day or just sometimes?

It has been cold all day, and very damp which makes the cold just go right through you. Several of the Kenyans here have told us it is colder than they remember it ever being at this time of year, but we have nothing personally to go by. We have had a fire in the fireplace almost every day this week.
Hi Dear Ones,
Pastor told me of your blog, and it's going on my Favorites list! It sounds like you're adjusting very well there, and collecting many memories too.
I prayed for you this morning.
HIS,
Gaye
