Well, I certainly had an interesting birthday this year. We went to Goree Island with a group of volunteers. They surprised me with a banana flambe (no birthday cake on the menu), and it was really good!
The boys and I got to play around on the beach and in the water while the volunteers went on a tour with a guide. Chad was there, too, but he had to take the pictures :)
We stopped on our way home and got some wonderful ice cream from a place called Nice Cream.... very nice!
Then some friends came by and brought me a cake to help me celebrate. In this picture you can see Ndeye, little Ndeye, and Marie Victoire. Caleb missed this moment, and we had to light the candles and blow them out again.
These are some other wonderful friends. Helene is on your left and Astou on your right. These ladies helped to make it a special day.
As did all of your phone calls and cards! Thank you so much to all of you for the birthday wishes.
Oh, and I can't forgot my sweet husband who helped so much with the boys and the volunteers, and gave me a huge, beautiful new desk! I will post pictures of it soon. Thank you, Chad. I love it!
