I have often, during these last few months, been asked about our childrens' education. Of course it's a natural thing to wonder, since they seem to be around at various parts of the day. Many residents in our apartment building who are from various parts of the world have never heard of the concept of educating their own children. So I find my self explaining almost on a daily basis what this might mean. (They just can't imagine what our days look like). Truthfully, not every day is exciting, fun or even pleasant. Challenging, actually- or downright unpleasant. (Fellow homeschoolers, you know what I mean). We still have to study multiplication but the life experiences here are so valuable to their education. Most of all we pray for their spiritual development and that they would learn to love the Lord above all else. Obviously, I'm showing you all the fun stuff and not so much the books. Have a wonderful week!

| How do you get that delicious drink out? You just wouldn't believe how many coconuts fit on one tree. I've seen up to 30 at various stages of growth. Let's just send Brandon up the tree to find out. (It wasn't easy and it was very messy). |

| Studying astronomy with Mariah and Jaden- The project was to build Stonehenge. No playdough around so we made our own. |
