Here and there

Pues, I'm Back in Belize for anyone not in the loop:)

It was good to be home and see the familia. Hard to leave too. I definitely felt like I had a little space/time whiplash. Once I got back to the kids though, it felt good to be with them.

There's lots I could say, which makes me feel like not saying much:P.
Basically, it's been a good week. Evelyn's learning more spelling words; Carlos isn't; Christopher's dad left this week for his 8mo stint as a cruise-ship worker so his support system just caved; Mitchel and Leisha have obviously been practicing their numbers, letters, and family names b/c their older sister has been helping them at home which is *awesome* and unexpected; Evelyn got to come to church on Sunday cuz I went and picked her up on the bus and it was heartening to see her get to play with Sulmi, Kristel, Ginelli, Luis, and co (I kept her in OW for a couple hrs after church so she could play for a while before going home); I went to lunch at Rubia's on Saturday for her 24th bday..; ..after going to Saturday School in the morning, which is essentially all day Deaf Camp/Bible Study run by Old Order Menno Missionaries from the Cayo Deaf institute. Oh, and I got accepted in the internship I applied for in DC for this summer!

So lots goin on; so glad I'm staying til May cuz it's all going so fast and it seems like I'm just starting to get in a rhythm w/ the kids (i'm trying to making semi-lesson plans these days) so it would feel crazy to be leaving after only one more week with them. We have 2 weeks of Easter vacation starting Friday, and Adam gets here Thursday night! We're gonna travel for a week around Belize, then he's staying in Guatemala for language school. We get to meet the Deshields, too!:) After that, I'm hanging out w/ Nancy and her friend Deb who's coming to visit.

That's the update. Hope all is well w/ you.
