The Girl had her 7th birthday and enjoyed a special cake. ChubChub helped put out the fire.
Another day of butchering chickens...
Branch is really progressing in his English reading and enjoys spending time entertaining his brother.
The Girl and a friend shared lots of giggles.
Mean Ol' Mama, The Girl and Chan at the family reunion Saturday night.
Poppins and Josiah sharing a guy moment...
Poppins also regaled us while we were eating breakfast. What is he doing? Why, singing opera, of course!
The kids have worked so hard with so many activities these past 2 weeks that they finally collapsed and slept Sunday afternoon. Even The Girl curled up in the window bench.
We hosted 22 Haitians over for supper Sunday night. It was very stormy outside but nice and calm inside. They were a blessing to us.
Trying to learn a Creole song...
Branch put on a puppet show for ChubChub, who was feeling a bit under the weather. It's fun to watch them.
Teresa gave a nice class on Claude Monet and Impressionism. They really enjoyed seeing the different styles.
And now to play Art Lotto...
We enjoyed a delicious lunch Monday: Thai Basil Rice with Turmeric and Shrimp. Mmmm... The CD player gives us all a bit of vacation as we listen to books on CD.
Mean Ol' Mama takes a vacation of her own in a cookbook. A bit of an obsession...
The Girl is trying to memorize her Patriotic Performance speech by Wednesday.
Branch is marching is circles trying to memorize his.
And Josiah is lost in a book...
