Blog confusion

I've deleted the pregnancy blog--no longer needed, I guess, and having two blogs I never posted to seemed to be pretty silly.

A little reading during the diaper change

So as you can see in the photos (http://www.matoke-matoke.org/molly/), things are going really well in our part of the world. I'm really enjoying being a parent, and shockingly, so is D. It's been something I've always wanted to do, always intended to do, and now that I'm DOING it, it seems a bit odd. But we're managing.

I've returned to work, part-time. My school is very flexible in terms of hours, and I'm working two morning a week at the school and the rest of the hours from home. I'm doing marketing for them now instead of teaching. I also maintain their website (http://www.cie-oxford.com).

I also volunteer for Oxfam (http://www.oxfam.org.uk) one day a week, while M stays home with her daddy. I'm helping out on their Management Coaching team, hopefully helping to make the people who run their programs more efficient and happier in their jobs, therefore making them want to give their experience and expertise to Oxfam for longer than they would have otherwise. Hopefully. Hard to tell whether coaching and the like have any real impact, but it's part of my job there to try and ascertain just that. So let's hope that it does.

That's about it, I guess. We're going to the States in September for a long visit with family. Don't know how we're going to afford it.... it's not that it's expensive having Molly--she doesn't use a lot of extra money--but I can't work as much as I used to, or I guess I choose not to work as much as I used to. I love being home with her 4 or 5 days a week. It's really, really nice.
