<p>Sirkulla kestÃ¤Ã¤ tunnin ajaa lapset ruuhkassa kouluun aamuisin ja aikaiset herÃ¤tykset voivat olla vÃ¤syttÃ¤viÃ¤. TÃ¤ssÃ¤ Benjy nauttii aamupalaansa keittiÃ¶n pÃ¶ydÃ¤n Ã¤Ã¤ressÃ¤.</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Since the beginning of the year, Daniella has been going to the same nursery school as Benjamin twice a week. She really enjoys it. She is a big girl now. Here she has put on Benjy&#8217;s clothes.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="578" width="380" alt="img_8687.JPG" id="image907" src="http://blog.lepojarvi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_8687.JPG" /></p>
<p>Daniella on vuoden alusta kÃ¤ynyt samaa leikkikoulua mitÃ¤ Benjamin, mutta vain kahtena pÃ¤ivÃ¤nÃ¤ viikossa. HÃ¤n on todella nauttinut siitÃ¤. Dansku on nyt iso tyttÃ¶. TÃ¤ssÃ¤ hÃ¤n on pukenut pÃ¤Ã¤llensÃ¤ Benjyn vaatteet.<br />

<p>The kids getting ready to attend to schoolmates&#8217; combined birthday party at a hotel close to our house.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that we are in the process packing our home into boxes and getting ready to ship them to Finland, we have also had to put our sauna up for sale. We have only had it for about half a year and really enjoyed it, but during the time of building it we were wtill under the illussion that we would be spending a fifth year in Tanzania. Luckily we found a buyer close by, a Finnish lady with a Tanzanian husband living just a few miles away from our house. The few miles to her house was not much of a challenge for transportation. However, the 7 meters from the roof top to ground level was a challenge. Below, a few photos of how we managed with it. Daniel was happy he happened to be on a field trip to Nairobi during the operation and did not have to sweat through it.</p>
<p align="center"><img alt="img_8679.JPG" id="image902" style="width: 381px; height: 571px" src="http://blog.lepojarvi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_8679.JPG" /></p>
<p align="center"><img alt="img_8683.JPG" id="image903" style="width: 380px; height: 569px" src="http://blog.lepojarvi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/img_8683.JPG" /></p>
<p>Nyt kun olemme kovaa vauhtia pakkaamassa kotiamme laatikoihin ja valmistautumassa niiden Suomeen rahtaamiseen, on meidÃ¤n myÃ¶s pitÃ¤nyt laittaa iki-ihana saunamme myyntiin. Emme pÃ¤Ã¤sseet nauttimaan siitÃ¤ kuin puolisen vuotta. Silloin kun vielÃ¤ viime vuonna rakensimme sitÃ¤, olimme kovasti siinÃ¤ uskossa, ettÃ¤ viettÃ¤isimme vielÃ¤ viidennenkin vuoden tÃ¤Ã¤llÃ¤ Tansaniassa. Onneksi lÃ¶ysimme kuitenkin saunalle ostajan ihan muutaman kilometrin pÃ¤Ã¤stÃ¤ missÃ¤ suomalainen nainen asustaa lapsiensa ja tansanialaisen miehensÃ¤ kanssa. Se muutaman kilometrin siirtymÃ¤ meiltÃ¤ heille ei ollut kovin ongelmallinen saunaa siirtÃ¤essÃ¤, mutta se seitsemÃ¤n metrin korkeusero meidÃ¤n katolta maan kamaralle oli. YllÃ¤ muutama kuva siitÃ¤ miten selvisimme sen kanssa. Daniel oli onnellinen, ettÃ¤ sattui olemaan tyÃ¶matkalla Nairobissa operaation aikana, eikÃ¤ joutunut todistamaan operaatiota hiki otsalla.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2010 has come with new challenges. Starting from January, Daniel will begin a new job at Fida head office. He will be traveling to Finland on a monthly basis for the next three months and come April the whole family is moving back to Finland. Our four-year stay in Tanzania is coming to an end.</p>
<p align="center"><img height="400" width="380" alt="424.JPG" id="image897" src="http://blog.lepojarvi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/424.JPG" /></p>
<p>2010 on tuonut mukanaan uusia haasteita. Daniel aloittaa uuden tyÃ¶nsÃ¤ Fidan pÃ¤Ã¤toimistolla tammikuussa. EnsimmÃ¤iset kuukaudet hÃ¤n matkustaa kuukausittain Suomeen, mutta huhtikuussa muutamme koko perheenÃ¤ takaisin Suomeen. NeljÃ¤n vuoden Tansanian aikamme on tulossa pÃ¤Ã¤tÃ¶kseen.</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Also, we decided to put Daniella into the same nursery school that Benjamin goes to. However, she will only go twice a week. The kids are growing fast!</p>
<p align="center"><img height="326" width="380" alt="img_8602.JPG" id="image895" src="http://blog.lepojarvi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/img_8602.JPG" /></p>
<p>Olemme myÃ¶s laittaneet Daniellaan samaan leikkikouluun kuin Benjaminin. HÃ¤n tosin kÃ¤y vain kaksi kertaa viikossa. Lapset kasvavat nopeasti!</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Sirkku will be very busy during the up-coming months. She will be responsible for both projects during the times Daniel is in Finland and still have two kids to take care of. Below is a sneak-peak of what it might be like for her.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="img_8630.JPG" id="image896" style="width: 380px; height: 569px" src="http://blog.lepojarvi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/img_8630.JPG" /></p>
<p>Sirkulla tulee olemaan kiireisiÃ¤ aikoija edessÃ¤pÃ¤in. HÃ¤n tulee vastaamaan kummastakin projektista ne ajat, jotka Daniel on Suomessa, ja lapsista. YllÃ¤ pieni vilaus siitÃ¤ mitÃ¤ tuleman pitÃ¤Ã¤.</p>
