Then on Saturday, we paid an impromptu visit to our Malawi friends Mike and Sarah and their three boys. While we'd seen Mike and Sarah since returning to Canada, Marianne hadn't seen the three boys since August 2008, when she left Malawi. For a 4-year old, 6-turning-7 year old, and 9-year old, that's quite a bit of time.
We spent a great afternoon chatting, going on an amazing nature walk (Marianne is still kicking herself for leaving the camera in the house on the walk), playing/spectating road hockey, and sharing stories over pizza and salad.
