Hello there, it has been a long time, I know this and I am sorry. I have tried numerous times to post and the internet has not been cooperative. I think my computer is about to die on me too, which does not help. We never forget that there are people who wonder what we are doing and who are waiting for pictures of Regan. I promise we have been trying. The heat in April reaches a new high, and therefore the power outages seem to be more frequent, the water shuts off more often, and the internet is rarely functioning.
Our friends, Kiara and Andrew just left. It was great having them. It was much needed fellowship for our starved souls. This week ben proctored his final exams and once graded they will be returned and we will be on break for most of the month. At this time students go home to their families and celebrate for weeks on end. Cambodians know how to do holidays, there are 30 holidays on the calendar for which they take off work, and that doesn’t even count this incredibly long celebration month. We have mentioned before that we have tried to learn about the traditions of this celebration, and we are not finding it very easy. Ben has asked students, I have asked friends of ours in the city, and no one seems to be able to explain to us what kinds of games the people play. We will just have to catch some in action in the next few weeks.
Regan’s adventures in Cambodia continue. She is quite the conversation starter. We were at a birthday party last week and a Khmer girl who was about 25 came up to me and wanted to talk all about the fact that she was pregnant. Her boyfriend, who apparently was English, was not present, but she said he was very excited. She wanted to talk about morning sickness, and her feelings about being pregnant, which were mixed. Regan seems to like the heat still and sleeping under the mosquito net. She is quite a good baby.
We will continue to try to keep you updated. Hope all is well on your side of the ocean.
