As we moved to our new apartment last week I was looking
forward to many things. I was excited to
have my own kitchen and more space. I
wanted to get settled and was happy for my kids to have room to just be
kids. However after we had moved I also
discovered some unexpected joys.
Because we are still working in the mission house and also
need to use the refrigerator in the main house as we are waiting for the
electric hook up, each day involves a lot of walking up and down the hill. I’ve lived at the mission house for 3 years
but most of our work has been walking out of our room to the kitchen and
back. Basically we spent a lot of time
indoors. We live on a beautiful
mountain, covered in trees and plants and with an array of different birds and
animals. Now, each morning and several
times during the day we make the 50 meter trek up the tree covered driveway to
the main house. Usually I am carrying
the 22 lb 10 month old with the 3 year old in tow. However we’ve discovered that this is one of
our most enjoyable times of the day.
The smell and sounds of walking up the hill is just beautiful. We see squirrels and birds and lizards and I love Benji's amazed "
