Mother's Day in Malawi

Mother's Day is a national holiday in Malawi and is always celebrated on the second Monday in October. Thandie sat down with the children today and explained to them about the holiday. They were very excited and have been singing songs about mothers. Everything is closed on Mother's Day in Malawi including the schools. I am extra grateful for this holiday, because Thandie's school schedule has recently switched to every day from 8 to 12 noon and there would have been no one to watch Savannah-Hope today. Not sure what the plan will be for Tuesday. Please keep praying for Violet, Savannah's nanny. Also pray for a hedge of protection around sweet Savannah-Hope. They share a room, it could have easily have been Savannah-Hope that was bit by the Malaria infected Mosquito. Everyday that Savannah-Hope is in Malawi, is a day she could get bit by a lethal Mosquito. Please pray for a smooth and quick adoption journey.

I was cleaning out my email today and found this photo from Thandie that I somehow missed before. What a little sleeping beauty.
