A & K in Madagascar: Six Months In
http://redislandadventure.blogspot.com/2013/09/six-months-in.html
A and K in Madagascar. Sep 16, 2013. In just a week and a half (Sept. 26), we will have been here for six months. Sometimes, it feels like we haven't done much considering it's already been half of a year since we got to Madagascar. But as I think back over these last six months, I begin to realize how much we have done, and how much things have changed. November 13, 2013 at 2:56 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A & K in Madagascar: June 2013
http://redislandadventure.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
A and K in Madagascar. Jun 23, 2013. So the past couple of months have been a little bit of the same: church and rest on Sunday, language class Monday through Thursday, and whatever shenanigans we get ourselves into on the weekends. And by "shenanigans," I mean "everyday things like buying food and paying bills, because nothing is easy here." Don't get me wrong- it's not all bad. Just interesting. The church we attend, tucked away in the corner. The new church building they are working on.

Snyders in Mada: September 2014

Wednesday, September 3, 2014. This Is How We Do: The First Day of School. 1 September 2014 will go down in the history books as the first day my schooler spoke her first French words. She couldn't remember them by the time we got home and tried to pass off a movie quote with a French accent as French words, BUT I was witness to her legitimate French utterances when I picked her up from school. Except there wasn't time to talk to her teacher. Because the car wouldn't start. And we had to walk....As we wal...

A & K in Madagascar: How Time Flies...
http://redislandadventure.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-time-flies.html
A and K in Madagascar. Dec 17, 2013. First of all, homesickness has hit pretty hard this month. With the holiday season upon us, it's particularly hard being a world away from our families. We are thankful for our new friends and family here in Madagascar, but we sure do miss snow, Christmas services at church, and my mom's breakfast casserole she only makes on Christmas morning. Again, thank you for you prayers, love, and support. Kristen and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Thanks for posting...

Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Iza ny anaranao chips? In official Malagasy is, loosely,"What is your name? Literally, it is "Who the your name? But that's neither here or there. What's funny about this particular phrase is how Waverly chooses to use it. She doesn't know much Malagasy except some basics that Chandler and I have taught her: greetings, please (and thank you and excuse me - all one word in official), and how to ask for someone's name. Oh, and "Avia! So, as a last "hurrah" as the Snyder family ...

Snyders in Mada: This Is How We Do: Haircuts
http://snydersinmada.blogspot.com/2014/12/this-is-how-we-do-haircuts.html
Thursday, December 18, 2014. This Is How We Do: Haircuts. Before we moved to Africa, I had two concerns: haircuts and birthdays. I mean, those weren't my only. Two concerns, but they were the two concerns I never inquired about because they seemed quite petty against all of the other major life adjustments we would be making. There were questions I had. To get answered, like:. Q: What do I do if we don't have a doctor near us? Fortunately, we have an amazing. Understandable because he has great hair.

Snyders in Mada: August 2013
http://snydersinmada.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 16, 2013. In almost 27 years of life (27 in November. At what point is it "all down hill from there"? That's what it feels like, anyway), I've never physically experienced growing pains. Hard to believe, right? Topped out at 5 feet on a good day. My joints never hurt as my limbs elongated because, quite obviously, they've never really elongated. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A & K in Madagascar: The Shortest/Longest Month
http://redislandadventure.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-shortestlongest-month.html
A and K in Madagascar. Feb 10, 2014. All my life, I remember thinking that February felt like the longest month. After Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the new year, winter always changes from a "magical winter wonderland" to a "long, gray, dreary, miserably cold precursor to spring." Add to that the fact that February only has 28 days, and you have the simultaneously longest and shortest month of the year. We are fortunate enough to be able to spend a month traveling around different parts of the world with...
