Oui!!!Cameroon won the qualifiying match over Gabon today!! 2-1 the score. The Indomitable Lions are now the lead of their group by a point from Gabon with two more qualifying matches to go!! Pretty big chance to make it to the World Cup 2010 in South Africa! On October 10 they gonna play with Togo here in Yaounde!! We didnt watch the game on tv because we dont have the local channel yet but as soon as our tv (its in HHE) arrive we'll subscribe a Creolink.We did follow the game on the radio with Augustine our duty guard. Evry year I and Jeff watch the world cup and now we had a team to cheer!!

Claire's first day of School
Of course a pix with daddy on Claire's first day of school
In her classroom
Claire and Aliyah
The School registrar office
Patiently waiting for the service car..
She did a lot of paintings/coloring on her first week of school.
Claire's first day of school at ASOY! Oh man Oh man our lil Claire is in Pre-k3. Im crossing my fingers she won't get evicted hehehe.. Last friday we attended the new parents orientation at the school, We meet her teacher and have a tour of the school campus. Most of the expat kids in town go to this school. Claire's class starts at 8am to 12:15pm. She has french class too every Thursday. Everything went well on her first day of school, She came home with a messy shirt from colors and she is so proud of her first drawing in art subject, I kinda don't understand what she drew but she said its a river and a sun and a trees around it, anyway she got the color right lol! I bet our fridge will be over decorated of more paintings/drawing from Claire. Since we dont have our car here yet, its the duty driver that brings and picks Claire up in school and as far as traffic is concern its crazy out there bumper to bumper side mirror to side miror!! Everybody is making their own lane lol! But Im still determine to drive once our car is here..but right now we're still enjoying the free ride..
There's another school we looked at...Le Flamboyant. It's a Pre-K...totally a french school and there's one or two kids from the embassy going there. But it seemed to us to be more like a daycare. So we stuck with ASOY...it's sponsored by the embassy and has an American cirriculum. We really like the school and Claire really likes it too, so we feel good about it! Lots of kids from other embassies go there as well as some locals...a nice international environment. Its Claire's first School too and Jeff and I are just proud and excited as any other parents to their kids outthere!
