It's midweek and, like always, we are bogged down with schooling and more schooling. Yes! This home schooling thing is quite rigorous. Actually, the kids online program requires every bit the accountability as does a traditional school with attendance and lessons to be complete daily, and assessments to follow which require mastery. We get started around 9 or 10 in the morning and are still going at 3, sometimes 4 o'clock. There are days we complete more lessons in the evening in order to get ahead, especially when we know we have plans the next day. We are expecting Dad tomorrow, YEAH!!!! So we have completed 5 days worth of lessons in 3 days! I thought I would hold you guys over with some recent photos until we finish our fun-filled weekend with Dad. After a date night together, just David and I, we all plan to visit some of the worlds deepest caves, get in some snorkeling off the west coast, and take care of some needs and errands while dad is here to help.
I hope you enjoy the photos. You are in our prayers!!!!

Here's Hunter and his boys! You don't think he sticks out, do you? Gringo's are like a show and tell object around here, until they get to know you, which is kind of funny. This is not the entire team, only about half. And that's not a coach in front. He's a senior, and the catcher!!

Naomi has landed what just may be an opportunity of a lifetime! A club volleyball team with 16 and 17 years olds. After club practice and a private lesson, she cannot walk! These girls are something to watch. We are still marveling at this opportunity adn how it all came about. More to come on this...

Here she is with the coach from Argentina, Alejandro. The girls told her he is one of the best on the island. After one private lesson with him, I'm convinced! They have an interesting time communicating with each other....a lot of hand gestures, but certainly enough that he gives her kuddos when she gets it right!
These are not line barriers at an amusement park...it's the line markers for Krispy Kreme Donuts! And this outdoor tent, and waiting area, is full in the mornings. This was mid-day so the line was in the drive-thru...half way around the parking lot! It's really crazy, and never lets up.
Evidently it's a big deal to watch the donuts go through the conveyor belt. Everyone gets a free, hot and fresh one straight off the line. Maybe that's why the long lines...you think? Great marketing strategy!
The balloons and the line...every day, all day, for a donut!?!? I don't think they would believe me if I told them several of the locations in Texas have closed down. I have to admit, they are pretty good:) Shipley's might have a rival in my book. (Why the Mexican colors on balloons, I don't know. We're way far from Mexico and their colors are red, white, and blue like ours, and the culture quite different.)
Naomi the scientist! Somebody tell Mrs. Ingram she's figuring it out, mostly on her own, but with the help of her online teacher as well. She received everything she would have had in her science class at school, microscope, test tubes, and all. This was her first biology lab. And who said home schooling wasn't for real???
Wyatt wanted everyone to see how much Rico has grown in just a week and a half. Still hand feeding him. No words yet, but we are working on them...."Hello", "My name's Rico", and "Go Yankees". I wanted "Go Rangers" but was over ruled.
