New friends

Sadie is one lucky girl.  She has made so many friends this week.  We attended a play date for expats at a community church yesterday (no religious affiliation).  This church has a large meeting room that contains tons of toys for toddlers under 3.  Every week (for the past many years is my understanding), people have been coming.  It's very conveniently located to my hotel, and there were lots of great moms, dads, and kids.  People were from all over - the US, UK, Australia, Ireland, Hong Kong, Canada and Japan.  Pretty incredible that we all ended up in the same small room for a couple hours.  We will have to make this a weekly event.

This is a pic of Sadie after the playdate.  She was exhaustedly happy :)

We also went to another playdate at an expat's house and met people from the US, France and Malawi.  Such interesting perspectives and everyone has been so welcoming.  The woman from Malawi has a background in developmental economics, so I was pretty excited to talk to her.  It's not just all about the kids!
