Thanks to everyone who sent Happy Birthday wishes to Juma on his special day. If you forgot, here's your chance to make ammends--leave a comment on this post and we'll read it to the little squirt.
We had a great party yesterday with dozens of kids. We threw it Pemba-style; which means that it was quite the production. There was a stage for Juma to display his four-year-old self and plenty of food and drink and, of course, music.
I'll post some pictures tomorrow, but for now, know that Juma's very happy to be four and is looking forward to your comments on this post.

Way to go, Juma! You're such a big guy now. Do you remember your birthday party a couple of years ago in Zanzibar? You got lots of presents and had a fun time chasing bubbles around and lots of birthday cake, too! We sure do miss you and hope to see you soon, but maybe not on Pemba--hope you're having lots of fun there.
Love

Juma--
Hear you had a great party. Did you get to blow up and then pop any balloons? What kinds of food was there? Way to go on birthday number nne. Have you seen any tembos or simbas or kibokos or mbonees? (You just thought we didn't remember swahili words. Well, salaam aleikum for now.
