yesterday, susan (neighbor from uganda) came over while caroline was napping. we had such a great time talking and visiting. 2 more things that i think are great about uganda/africa...
1) fat women are considered beautiful (fat was susan's word of choice, not mine)
2) gaps in your teeth are considered beautiful
the teeth thing came up when susan saw that caroline has a gap in her front teeth from sucking her thumb. susan said she used to try to put her finger in between her front teeth to make a gap. how funny! she is so easy to talk to and so fun to be around. later, after john came home from work and we ate dinner, we decided to go swim in our neighborhood pool for the first time. we knocked on susan and raymond's door on our way and asked if they wanted to join us. raymond was tired from work so he took a nap, but susan and shannon came a little later. caroline was so cute. as soon as she saw shannon, she yelled "my friend, my friend!". shannon is such a beautiful little girl. she has gorgeous big brown eyes and is tall and skinny. i need to get a picture of all of them to post. it took a few minutes for shannon to warm up to the water, but after a while, she was having a blast. she's still working on her english so she didn't say a lot, but her smile spoke volumes. we played for a long time until it started getting dark and then walked back. caroline and shannon gave each other kisses goodbye. how sweet!!! can't wait to hang out with them again....
