They're Back!

We are so thankful to have Roman, Bethany, Abi, and Eli back!  They were in the States for 3 months where Roman completed many Linguistic courses at a University, with top marks.  These studies will be very important for their work with the deaf community.  Additionally, they have shared some of their research with us and it will be helpful in our continued language acquisition as well.  Anyway, it is so good to have them back. 

They brought us back some fun treats from the good ol' US of A.  Maple flavoring for Maple Syrup, Chili Powder, and Carmex were among my favorites.  The boys were jumping up and down when they saw the Snickers bars and the Paper Airplane and Dinosaur books.  They'll come in handy today since we're stuck inside with sick kids. 

Did you know September is a time for windstorms here?  Since we haven't had rain for 8 months, everything is very dry so windstorms create duststorms.  And when your windows and doors do not have proper seals, your house becomes very dirty as do little boys' lungs.  All that to say, we're going to make chicken soup, fresh bread, and do a lot of reading today.

Chris is on his way to Santa Teresita with Guillermo to be with the people there.  And just so you know, I'm not complaining about the lack of proper seals on our windows and doors . . . many of the people in Santa Teresita don't even have windows in their cement block homes.

Have a great Sunday and start to your week.
