“What do Matt and Bethan get up to?” is a question that we get asked fairly often in the much-appreciated emails and letters that we receive. So far I've avoided blogging about it too much because I figured you'd much rather read about life-saving flights or examples of how MAF is helping to share the Gospel. But last week I decided to carry a camera around with me and take some photos of the things that we get up to in a “typical” week while Becki is at work. Most pictures are of Bethan as I'm taking the photo but hopefully it will give an insight into our lives in a more interesting way than me waffling on about life as a stay-at-home dad!

Our very flexible
timetable for the week
|
 |
Riding her bike on
the compound
|
 |
Bethan loves kicking a ball
|
 |
Trip out in the car
to get the milk from the dairy – looks like rain is coming..
|
 |
Using her “strong
muscles” to carry the milk back to the car
|
 |
| Suncream applied,
ready to go swimming |
 |
| After a morning
playdate with three of her friends, we go on an expedition to find a
snake that's been seen on our compound... |
 |
| We didn't see the
snake but when we got home we found two chameleons fighting over the food
in the compost heap |
 |
Fanja does a lot
more playing and a lot less housework than she used to!
|
 |
But Bethan has
watched Fanja enough times to know what to do (polishing the floor)
|
 |
And keeps the grass
short when the gardener isn't here to do it
|
 |
Keeping cool in the
paddling pool
|
 |
| Painting a rainbow |
 |
Bethan spends a lot
of time drawing and colouring at her craft table
|
 |
| Making bread |
 |
Lesson planning is
easy for a girl who has so many questions – today we learned about
the body
|
 |
| Weekly trip to the market for fruit and veg followed by a trip to Shoprite for everything else |
 |
| Doing the cooking |
