Jared and Miles are taking swim lessons together at the compound this year. They have only had one lesson but they did a great job. Here are the two cuties chilling at the pool.
I was on "watch the kids duty" at the park the other day and this is what happened. As I was holding Max up in the swing so Jacob could unhook it I kept thinking how am I going to explain this to his mother. I was picturing him at the clinic getting the dolphin cut off his legs. After a few minutes Max was able to get the swing off his legs and we went from being a little nervous to laughing at the situation.
We found a little piece of heaven in Angola. It is a new bakery about 10 minutes from our house. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have loads of homemade breads and sweets.
This is the grill area.
Fresh homemade bread and cakes. They charge for their cakes by weight. This cake would cost about $1,300. I think I will make my own.
Here is another one of their cake. This is a beer that they have here.
They also have some cute cupcakes. Jared got this one.
Jacob went for the frog. I think he enjoyed eating the head off the frog more than the cupcake.
Today I took Kenny and the boys to eat lunch at the bakery so they could see it. We had mozzarella and chicken pizza. It was very very good. It cost us about $45 for the two pizzas and drinks....not a bad price for Angola.
I had a lady(she doesn't speak much English) call me the other day wanting to borrow a silicone pistol. She didn't know the English word for it and I couldn't figure out what she was asking me for. Turns out she was wanting a glue gun. I didn't have one to loan her but we both had a good laugh from the conversation.
On the way home from church tonight Kenny and I were talking about how dirty some of the grocery stores are here. I told him I wish they would remodel the one closest to our house and Jared said they don't need to remodel it they just need to mop the floors and put out bug traps. If only the people here thought like my 5 year old.
It is Saturday night in Luanda and today was a really nice day. The boys, Kenny and I played some tennis this morning and had a lot of fun. Katie's son Max went to church with us tonight so he and Jacob could serve together and there were already 6 kids serving so they passed. Sela came into work today since she will be off Monday and she also wanted to see Kenny and make sure his back was ok. She hasn't seen him since he left Angola with it hurting. I tell her every time she ask that he is good but I guess she didn't believe me. She made Kenny bend over and show her that his back was fine. She kept looking at him like she couldn't believe he was still alive. She is so sweet and caring and we are so thankful we have her as part of our family now. Tomorrow we do not have a driver so we are just going to hang out around the house. Monday is a holiday, Hero's day, so the boys are out of school and Kenny will be off work...hopefully.
Sorry this post was all over the place...that is what happens when I wait so long between post. Hope everyone has a good weekend!!!
