Oh Dear.
This past week has been a bit of a fiasco in the internet department. Hopefully, things are sorted now. Simon is back from his week in Dar es Salam, so surely all things technological will behave themselves now.
I hope all of you had a wonderful March 21st! Happy Naw Ruz (Baha'i New Year), first day of spring, or simply Wednesday. We celebrated by going to a small game reserve in Chisamba with a number of Baha'i friends.
We got to visit our pachyderm friend, Mphamvu again.
Asher fell in deep adoration of Eoin, and would not let him out of his sight.
And Bella lounged near the lion's cage.
Ana was also quite busy designing and assisting in the making of this placemat for her cousin who is arriving for a visit (all the way from Canada) next week. She wanted him to have something special at Grandma's house.
Today we are off to visit the cousins and celebrate Naw Ruz some more. At Anisa's request, I made five little felt bunnies from One Hour Crafts (sorry, too lazy to link the book). They are so tiny!
Ah, it's good to be back.
Yay for me. I'm so glad you're back (although I did enjoy your photographs very much.)
Welcome back!

Our technological things always misbehave when the Papa is away. And it always seems it's something that can't be fixed remotely.

Also, tell Ai Ana her placemat is beautiful! Also, I love the name Eoin. Is it pronounced like Eowyn in LOTR? Good masculine alternative in any case!

Yay! Glad to see you are back! At first when I read that your week had been a fiasco, I thought an elephant had walked into your garden! But that probably would have been a nice kind of fiasco. Welcome back.

I'm not having any luck finding the "One Hour Crafts" book, and I'd love to make those little bunnies! Any hints?
