Library

Poor Eli has the saddest library of all time... until today. More on that later. First I have to tell you about his books. Eli had only two books. A book about gas and a book about lice. I am not kidding.

The book about gas was actually a joke gift for George that my little cousin Matt generously was willing to part with when I left for Kenya.

It's funny...

and educational...

The book about lice came from George. Children's books are hard to find in Kenya and George was excited when he found one for Eli. He didn't look closely at it and we laughed after discovering it was about head lice. Only in Kenya!

It is important to George and I that Eli is read to from a young age. We want him to be smart! So, poor Eli has been read to about gas and lice. We figured, he's so young, he won't mind or know that there is other stuff out there. Oh yeah, we also read to him "Riki Tiki Tavi" his first night home from the hospital. I had it on my kindle. It was one of my favorites as a kid and it was free on Amazon!

Today, Eli's library doubled in size and increased in quality 100% (more actually, if possible). Our sweet friend, Marli, sent us two awesome children's books. What makes them so special is she illustrated them. She did such a wonderful job. We love Marli. She is one of the people at RdR who was able to meet and get to know George in Sudan. Now, we have a piece of Marli here in Tanzania. These books are about God and simple enough for small children to understand.

Already they are a hit in the Orwa household!

You can buy these books on Amazon. They would make a great gift for anyone expecting a baby. Here is the link:

Thank you Marli! We love the books and are so grateful.

PS On an unrelated note... why are kids in their jammies so cute?
