A few little things...

Life has certainly been rolling by. A typical day for us begins with the children waking up between 6:30 and 7am. About 7:15 to 7:25am, we head out the door for the cafeteria to have breakfast in the cafeteria. At 8am, we head back to our "quad" (actually should be called a tri as we only have three apartments because we have bigger families) for small group worship. At 8:45am, we head out the door to take the children to school. The boys are on one side of campus and the girls are on the other, but it works out well as most everything is in a line for us. Most families aren't that fortunate.

VJ and I are in class from 9am until noon. Sessions usually involve learning about persecution, definition of the church, spiritual worship. The sessions are led by amazing people so it's usuallly quite an experience! We have lunch in the cafeteria from noon until 1pm. (It's nice to have lunch with just adults.) After lunch, we typically have two more hours of sessions similar to the morning sessions. Then we pick up the children. (That's always a great time because they are so excited to see us!) We'll play on the playground (We have a great playground just outside of our quad.) for a while, have the girls practice violin for a short time, and then head to dinner around 5pm.

After dinner, it's usually more playground (pg) before heading in for baths. (They always need a good scrubbing after the pg as the surface is recycling rubber with a sandbox, too.) Then we'll read a book or two before a Bible story and bedtime takes place around 8pm.

This week Elizabeth got BJ Bear, the girls' class "pet". She got to take him home for a couple of days and do everything with him. Abby was line leader and is currently preparing for her class play starring in the lead role as food police, patroling the eating habits of others!
