Lately...

It has been awhile, so I wanted to do a little picture dump of what we have been up to lately.

First, I have joined a fitness class where I do Zumba every Monday and Wednesday and Tae-Bo/Abs workout on Thursdays and Fridays. This was taken by the instructor AFTER class one day, so not the best look for any of us :) but it shows the diverse group in Nigeria!

Next was just a random that I took out of our window. There was a party going on at the church next door and it looks like they were about to cook up some goat! yuck!

notice the dead gutted animal on the ground :/

On May 11th, we had a Lagos Wine Club event. It was a fun night outside tasting wines from South Africa and catching up with all our friends here. Sadly I didn't get any pictures at the event, but I noticed that the house was right across the street from an EY office when we arrived. Oh the memories from sooo many hours worked there!


hard to see because its so dark

Next, we went to the Yacht Club for the National Lighting Races on May 18-19. They had a dinner with a live band on Saturday night, and then an awards ceremony on Sunday afternoon after all of the races. Our good friends won the whole thing, so we were glad we went to help them celebrate (and enjoy some yummy champagne!) They are National championship and now in Italy to sail against other countries!


Heineken sponsored so that's why the beer girls are there!

A friend that works for Exxon recently had a baby with his Nigerian wife. Following their tradition, they have a naming ceremony within 10 days after birth to announce the name to all the friends and family. We went to see the newborn and celebrate the birth and were please to see that the baby was named Jason Michael!

he was so precious, at 1 week old.

Lastly, Jason got our carpenter to make some cornhole boards. They were a hit at our dinner party and the Derby party! Just wanted to include this to show the carpenter and all the hard work he has done on everything in our house (including that beautiful table behind him!)

Friday, the carpenter, and our boards.
