Hip Hip Hooray, got outa mtns for a few days

I decided that it was really silly of me, not to take a break and get away from life! So I came down to the lowlands for a few days to visit some other Peace Corps folks. It feels like summer down here in Maseru!! I feel totally rejuvinated and ready to attack whatever comes my way.

Update on my little guy!!! Not only did he pull through, but he is now crawling!!!! I was worried that he would fall more behind, so while he was on the oxygen, I was using a beach ball as a therapy ball so he wouldn't regress. There are some new babies and one baby that made it for one week.

I have moved into a teeny tiny rondaval that is more convenient and has a family for me to be a part of. I now have a niece and nephew here!!! The little girl is 7 and the little boy is 5. I showed them Bobbi and Ben and so when the 5 year old comes in, he points to Ben and says, his name and then Bobbi and says his cousins name. My Mom here is fab!! She checks in on me when I am not well and notices when I am down. They have many animals and have already taught me how to milk a cow.

I have forwarned my teachers that they no longer need me so I am going to spread my wings and hike out more. Warm weather helps motivate me too as well as wanting to get rid of some of the extra "luggage" I've accumulated here! It has been a great move for me. I couldn't have gotten a better family. The kids come in and keep me company and I run around and do cartwheels with them. Aside from 'work' I have begun to branch out and get involved with some play dates to take place twice a month as well as doing some networking. Those of you who know me, know that this is not my favorite thing to do, but it is necessary.

I have some new pics of my pad and glimpses at the hard life that is lead here without the use of machinary, check them out!!!

Much Love
