An introduction
We would like to introduce a new member of our family. We are expecting a baby at the end of March. We plan to come home for the birth so look forward to seeing lots of you then! Please join us in praising God for this miracle
Baby Kittow is expected to say hello to the World on 27th March ‘09
Praise God for his wonderful gift.
It is waving at you & even has Alex’s quiff.
I am well, but have felt nauseous all day and very tired since the 6th week. (I am now coming up for 14 weeks) I have never missed Tesco's so much, to the point I dream of walking down the isles being able to choose what ever I want to eat! Alex has been wonderful, if I suddenly realise I can eat whatever is on his plate he will give it up for me!! Anyone who know Alex knows this could only be love!!
If anyone feels moved to post some twiglets or ready salted 'crunchy sticks' I would be forever grateful! What I really want though is a ham sandwich or a BLT baguette, unfortunately the only part of that I can get here is the tomato!!

Pumba the rat catcher!
Things grow really big out here, the trees are tall the shrubs grow fast, it should be no surprise that the rats (who have an unlimited supply of food and rubbish to rummage through as there is no rubbish disposal system) are enormous - 40cm’s is just body and then same again of tail!! Quite horrific, thankfully our not so small puppy Pumba is a great rat catcher, we have got used the tell tale sounds of a chase, the scuffling, the squealing and Pumbas low growl, when this happens we know that we (well Alex) will have something grisly to clear up in the morning. We would put photos up but they really are grim! Anyway one night we hear the scuffling and squealing but Pumba seems to be having more trouble this time so Alex gallantly says he will go and ‘help’ what he thought he could do I am not quite sure. However on closer inspection the ‘rat’ turns out to be a tiny puppy that someone must have thrown over our gate. We rescue him from Pumba s over playful nature and do a quite check for fleas, he looks healthy so I bring him inside and feed him, he is very cute and soon has found a place in my heart and after managing to convince Alex this is a good thing, he is adopted and named Timmy short for Timone!!
Our new team mates; Jason, Roxanne and Annika got stuck in straight away after arriving, throwing a birthday party for Annika turning 2. Quite a turnout!!
Roxanne (hidden in the middle) organising crafts for the children.
Timmy
Ahh – not quite big enough to jump the veranda step!
