We’ve shifted housemates for a bit; on Saturday, the Masso family arrived, bearing Acacia, Liana and Gaby. Liana and Gaby are some of Naomi and Quinn’s best buddies so it was a very happy reunion. The Massos have also just returned from time in the States. And so we were 17 for the weekend - in a house just a bit bigger than the basement we were living in Stateside! Noise levels were loud. We celebrated Miss Sarah’s birthday (Miss Sarah is one of our missionary kid teachers just arrived this fall to teach our children) in style with a trip out for pretty astoundingly good pizza and ice cream and wacky cake later at home. Miss Ashley (our other mk teacher) and the kids put on a premium production involving the presentation of gifts - it was quite a hit. Pictures coming!
Now the Bartkoviches have left for a few days together and away at Bushara Island. So we are here with the Massos and teachers, and the house has quieted to a dull roar. Michael and David spend their days out working and Karen and I, the kids and our teachers hold down the fort at home.
Myhre family will arrive in the next day or two and we will buckle down to the business of decision making in areas large and small before returning to the district early next week. We can hardly wait.
