Our School Girls

Aren't they so cute in their uniforms????? Oh my goodness I just want to squeeze their little cheeks.

The girls have done really well going to school and adjusting to their new routine. We have had just a little bit of tears from Ella, but overall it is so much better than our transition in Costa Rica. I am certain that it helps that they are only at school for a total of 3 hours.

I don't know if you are able to see it or not, but we received a wonderful gift we think from school. Look real close at their hair. Yup, that's right, lice! We did our first treatment tonight and hopeful we got it all. Everyone here was very casual about it, because it happens every year when school starts. I wasn't feeling very casual about it at first. Yuck! That's just gross! Oh well, there's much worse things, huh?

Sweet Sleeping Girls

I don't know if you are able to see this picture very well or not. I didn't want to the use the flash because the girls were sleeping. They are sleeping in the same bed while we are staying at Alvin and Ninfa's house. Obviously it is very SWEET to watch them sleep together.

Just Waiting

We are patiently waiting for our house to be ready to move into. We are SO blessed to be staying at the house of a great family in the church. However, we are very ready to have our own space. We have been told that our house will be ready in 2 weeks. I'm secretly hoping it will be sooner.

God knew what we needed when He opened the door to stay with Alvin and Ninfa. We have lots opportunities to be around people. So that allows for more talking. In this time of adjusting, it is easy maybe to close yourself in a room and not talk to anybody, because of not understanding what people are saying and them not understanding what I am saying, but we have lots of opportunities to see people all day.

We have been blessed with the girls having Paola, 10 year old daughter of Alvin and Ninfa, and 2 dogs to play with during the day.

We have been blessed with lots of help. People have been very generous with their time to help us get things set up here. There is a lot involved in setting up life in a new place, must less a new country.

Little Ella

Little Ella is not so little... Even to now she seems so much bigger than in this picture.

Ella has a great sense of humor, generous and very emotional in both directions.
