August 01, 2005Hi Everyone, this is Samara
I am excited about building our own website. I hope to have this site filled with lots of fun information and pictures of our family life in Mali. Have patience as I try and navigate my way through this.

Presently, we are in Falls Church, VA. Eric is in training. He just finished an 11 week course on General Services management for embassies. This will be his next job in Bamako as the General Services Officer (GSO). Now he is in the middle of completing a refresher in French. After learning Spanish and doing visa interviews for two years in Spanish, his French has buried itself. However, it is not taking long for it to come out again and soon he will be a competent speaker in French again.

Leif, now five years old, has been making lots of new friends here. He finished preschool in Havana, Cuba at the International School of Havana and now is preparing to start kindergarten at the American International School of Bamako (AISB). This summer he has been going to the Child Development Center, located on the George Mason University campus, and is in the Panda bear class. He has enjoyed his time there and has made several good friends. Leif is an avid swimmer and loves to do laps (yes he can actually swim laps) and dive down for objects at the bottom of the pool.

Laila is coming into her own as a two and a half year old. She also is going to the same Center on the George Mason campus and is in the Teddy bear class. She really loves to draw and color and is still obsessed with Dora the Explorer. She loves doing everything that her brother does and is a very "spirited" girl:)

I have been finally enjoying some "time off". After leaving Havana in mid-June with the kids, I went right into a five-week intensive course program to finish my Masters in Education at George Mason University. It took 4 years to complete the program, but I finally did it. Now I am trying to get all the supplies and doctor appointments taken care of before we ship off to Mali.

In August we have two exciting things happening. My parents (Zinzah and Grandpa) will come to visit for a week and then we will go with them up to NJ/NY to visit friends and family.


In September we will finally take our long awaited "home leave" and will spend two weeks up at the Lindberg cabin in Ely, Minnesota and two weeks at the Sanders home in The Woodlands, Texas (just north of Houston). We hope to catch up with as many family and friends during this time back in the States as possible.

Here is our itinerary, please let us know if you are near any of the places we will be during the next few months.
