Spread the Word
Except for missing a few times here and there, we have been faithfully blogging for 7 weeks today!
Most missionaries send a regular newsletter out to their prayer partners, and this is something that we might do in the future -- once the corps is up and running.
But for the meantime, this "blog" is our main means of communication. So please take a few minutes to share this web site with family, friends, co-workers, fellow homeschoolers, officers, soldiers, La Leche League Leaders, missionaries, etc.!
Now a hodge-podge of miscellaneous news:
Peter is six and a half months old, and last night and today it felt like all I did was nurse him. Of course, this wasn't true at all, and he spends a lot of time with his father, brother, and sister! But it's how I've been feeling, tired and needing a break.
We are doing really well with our unpacking of the house! It is exciting to find our stuff, to hang up pictures and get out toys and things that are special to us.
Today I put the down comforters on our beds. (I said to Chris, the Bible talks about God sending another Comforter! Okay, bad joke!) These were the biggest personal-item investments we made before coming here, and I think they are going to be quite worthwhile. When I was a teenager at 100 Sheridan Street in Portland, Maine, I slept in an attic bedroom that was UNheated. There were many cooooold nights when I remember having every blanket and afghan I could find piled up on top of me. I was warm enough, but all those blankets were heavy! These comforters are super warm but don't have that heavy feeling.
Today Tim and Elizabeth picked two baskets of apples from the apple trees in our yard. Tomorrow we will bring them to homeschooling co-op. In the morning, the kids are having swimming lessons, and in the afternoon will be science.
Chris is doing really well with his homeschooling, making the schedule work for him rather than following the outline exactly.
We are starting to put Peter into some 12-month size clothes. We measured him today and he is 72 cm (28 inches). Clothing sizes here are done in cm, so we were curious to find out how big he is!
We put up a large border in our bedroom that reminds us of Aunt Joann because of the dolphins.
Please comment below or e-mail us! We'd love to hear from you!
