Despite not knowing how it works, we have received some fun things in the mail while living in Kenya. Our first piece of mail was a lovely homemade card from my Aunt Catherine in Canada. I think she sent it (or at least it was still in the postal system) during the early days of COVID, because it arrived looking as though the envelope had been drenched in either hand sanitizer or bleach likely courtesy of Kenya Post (although I guess it could have happened in Canada also). Regardless, it was really nice to receive a handwritten note!
Here's a picture of something my very talented brother and sister-in-law sent to Dominic (we assembled it) for his birthday this year. They have gotten into designing and laser cutting wood crafts. They also sent a lovely Christmas ornament which I can't find a picture of.
A while back we signed up for the Adventures in Odyssey app, and checked a box to receive their free magazine. We assumed it would be delivered to our billing address, which is my parents' house in Seattle. Imagine our suprise when this came to the hospital! Dominic read these magazines over and over, and brought them over to show all our neighbors.
This didn't arrive by Kenyan Post, but was sent to my mom last February for her to bring along to us in March. Obviously that trip got canceled due to COVID, but after a few delays, we finally received this painting from my cousin's daughter, a birthday card for Dominic's 5th birthday, plus several other letters and small items this past week.
