Soren recently went to a kinder friend's birthday party. It was at KFC. Yes, it is typical for parents to hire an MC, a giant bird and a clown for their five year old's party.. ..and yes, each child received one of those giant lolly bags.
A few of the mums from Reuben's kinder dropped by for a hold of Autumn and to give me a gift.
Later, some of the teachers from language school rocked up on their bikes.
Ibu Itin gives me a lesson in how Indonesians carry their babies.
Soren was brainstorming names for his little sister before she was born. He came up with these three winners: Beauty, Strong Hair and Noodles. The mind boggles.
I'm an Australian living and working in Papua, Indonesia with my husband Philip and three children, Soren, Reuben and Autumn. We're involved in language development with a focus on Bible translation. We've been in Indonesia since November 2009.
