We have simply been busy living. Just the way it should be.
There has been lots of fun and challenging things going on- a couple of full week training courses, one of which took me away from Vientiane for the week. I have been training local doctors and nurses on newborn health, in particular how to look after babies in their first few hours of life. It has been a roller coaster of emotion. One moment you are worried that you mustn't be teaching it properly and the next you see something that makes you realise that it has all come together. Teachers- i have always had a lot of respect for your job, but the last few weeks have multiplied this by 100!
Poor Joff was solo dad for 5 days- a challenging week for him as well, although in a completely different way. Although, now that i think about it, perhaps we both were practicing how patient we could be. Bea continues to be a joy, albeit an exhausting one.
I have lots of posts i want to be writing but for now i am just going to leave you with some photos of my travels to Phak Lay (about 4 hours from Vientiane by minibus)
Stay tunes for updates on choosing a preschool for Bea, a weekend away in Southern Laos, and how to survive the heat…

The power went out the first night we arrived so it was dinner by candlelight!
