| Coyote is just a little spoiled |
We arrived back in Impfondo last Monday. The kids were pretty anxious to see Coyote with their own eyes, and make sure he was really doing OK. As you can see, he's just fine and he is happy to have the kids back to give him attention.

| I'll take this bed. |
We were able to bring four trunks with us on the plane from Brazzaville, four more came Thursday, and the remaining seven came yesterday. Fifteen trunks seems like a lot when you are trying to transport them. When you unpack, and realize that's about it for the next three years, it doesn't seem like much!
I'm remembering how much time and energy daily life takes without modern conveniences. For example, we had a huge pile of laundry between our dirty clothes from our trip, dirty linens left here, and some things in the house that just smelled musty. In the US I would have been able to wash and dry all that in just one day, maybe two. Here it means hand washing, one basket at a time. But at least I know I'm providing work for some women in the community.

Ian's last clean outfit our first morning in Impfondo.
Good thing he doesn't care if his clothes match. |
Stephen has been playing handyman around the house- doing some minor repairs and trying to get things in working order. He's also had a few meetings and is cleaning out his office. He'll be working part time the rest of this week, and he'll start full time next week.
For those wondering about school, we have all of our school books now. I'm hoping this week to organize what we have and make a schedule. We may be starting a light school schedule next week, or it may be one more week. I'm trying to get things at our house and guest housing working smoothly first so that we will have fewer interruptions when we do start back.

For now, everyone is happy and healthy. We're glad to be back and beginning to settle into life here.
