Celebrating two birthdays! Derrick is 22 and Jason is 7

For Jason's 7th birthday, we went to our usual spot - Pizza Inn at Ngong town

This was our 4th year to celebrate Jay's birthday together, and the third time we did so with pizza

Betty (the mom) with Jermaine Smith (his 2nd name is in my honor)

Fredrick also with his son, Smith. Fredrick is also my favorite boda boda driver

Derrick, his friend, and I thoroughly enjoyed delicious Arosta (goat meat) at Hamdi, a Somali restaurant in downtown Nairobi.

We had fun singing to Derrick and watching him struggle to blow out the candles!

We were quite pleased to see Masudi, who is now one of the chefs at Hamdi.
When we arrived, he strongly suggested we try their Arosta goat - - yum, it was absolutely delicious and so, so tender!

Derrick took driving lessons recently and is waiting to receive his license.
He hopes to someday find a job as a driver. [We borrowed this car for the photo]
