Transitioning

I've started and abandoned several blog entries about our transition to Lusaka.  The problem with moving is that it keeps you running in crazy circles with little time to complete a thought, much less a blog entry.  It's been a whirlwind of new: new schools, new house, new neighborhood, new roads, new car, new stores, new everything.  I'm tired of new.  I think I might curl up with my 40 year old baby blanket that I found recently in the "yet to be unpacked room".


Here's the house we are living in:

 It's nice and has a lovely fruit-filled yard, but it exhausts me.  Everyday there is a new problem with the water or electric or termites or cockroaches or bats or on and on and on. 


Ani's new American school is great and Leena's also enjoying the Montesorri school.  Even Michael starts school tomorrow out on a farm.  Leena gave us a primer on negotiating the health system by having a terrible trampoline fall and breaking her leg.  She's healing nicely, though.



Lusaka is relaxed and a good family place, but sort of not that interesting.  So, I don't have many pictures to share of Lusaka but we did make it out to Livingstone and Victoria Falls.  Now that is quite scenic.


Hopefully we will get properly settled soon and find something interesting to blog about.  Preferably not about bats, roaches, etc....
