Busy!!! that describes our house lately!! We've officially begun homeschooling, which we are all loving:) The kids went to their first gym class this week....tennis it was! They thoroughly enjoyed it & can't wait for next week!
Tesfa is really loving kindergarten...he comes home with a smile on his face & many stories to tell!
Soccer has begun....Grant & Ageze are both playing soccer this fall & are learning more each practice & loving it!! Bonus for Grant...Kasey is his coach!! So fun to see my boys out there together.
Ariyat continues to do very well...not that we haven't had our up's & downs, we have. But, she seems to be adjusting in a very healthy, appropriate way. We keep very close to home, she doesn't care for too much noise or too many people. And, that is ok. That smile of hers lights up our home on a daily basis:) She & Kate seem like they have never been apart, they are two peas in a pod. Lately, Ariyat has been trying to teach the other four Amharic. Amharic songs. The alphabet. How to write each letter & how to sound out the letters. We are learning as much from her as she is learning from us!! We love that!!
What an exciting weekend we have in store!!! Want to join in?? Wil Crooks from Children's Hopechest will be in Bismarck!!
So excited about this opportunity to love on & care for this precious community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!! Wil Crooks with Children's HopeChest will be in Bismarck this coming weekend...Our church has partnered with Children's Hopechest & t
