Bits and Bites....

We've been in Canada for a week now. It's still cold... If you factor in the difference in humidity we are experiencing temperatures approximately 25 degrees lower than those we are used to. The kids aren't real keen to play in the outdoors (current temp-7C). Indoors the temperatures are about 15 degrees lower than we are used to. Only Aidan appears completely unaffected and is at times clad in only a pair of shorts... Oh to be so warm blooded...
I have decided that for our first month here I will not look at the price of food, but simply buy the foods we enjoy eating (within reason of course). It is so hard to shop here and not simply purchase everything!
Good news from Papua. Ritha's mom was released from the psychiatric hospital and was more cognizant. They are working on convincing her that returning to her home town is the best option for her. In the meantime she is living with Ritha. Awi and Rode are scheduled to return to Ritha on Saturday. The entire time they have been at Awi's bio-mom's place Awi has been sick with unhappiness. So they have decided that she is too young to be separated from her mom (Ritha). What an answer to prayer!
