In the village

David was in the village all weekend attending a wedding and he even attended again today, while Sophia and I took part just on Sunday for the morning and early afternoon. This is also our helper's village, so Sophia was happy to see her Jie Jie! But I think she liked the pigs and little chicks better than anything...

the pigs are just on the other side of the bricks. Love the raw meat hanging there. This happened to be where all the 'meat prep' for the wedding was taking place. It was a grotesque scene, one we have gotten used to. Sophia had no clue, she just wanted to see the pigs and make her 'oink oink' sounds.


this is just so you can see the house of our helper (we were already good friends with the family before she came to work for us). Every good mother must take certain items to the village for it to be a successful day: lots of snacks, lots of juice/water, and good toys: this blow up soccer ball was a hit, as were the bubbles...this was when I just needed a little 'control' time.
