On the other side of the fence

Last week we got the opportunity during lunch break to go over to the other side of the fence and see where Papa gets to learn all day. Our yard actually borders the DLI base so we can see over there and all the different worlds over there, but it was another thing to actually go over there. It is a beautiful base with a beautiful view, and also learning and testing can be stressful, it felt like most people felt honored to be there and be learning so much. Papa is a part of a small classroom of 8 students, and we even got to meet one of his teachers.

It has been beautiful weather here, and I've often heard CSA farmers tell me that this is an unusual place because they can grow year round here. It doesn't get too hot, and it doesn't get too cold. We got some rain yesterday, and it was very refreshing!

A special birthday

My eldest had a birthday and turned 9! 9 is a special number because research has shown that around that age, they can learn anything that you as an adult can. He loves to learn and loves to be read to or listen to audio books- his attention span can be quite focused! Sure love that boy, he has gone through so many moves and changes in our family and also, being the oldest, gone through everything first as the tester. His heart is strong and kind, his love is deep! Papa has been working hard! learning passe compose, futur proche and different tenses, also 300-500 of vocab per week if not more. some days are harder than others but if there is one thing he has taught me is the meaning of endurance and perseverance. Where I would give up or stress out, he would take a deep breathe, continue on, wake up and try again.  (Just to clarify, there is a time and place to give up and start again or do something else as well). But overall he is loving the learning and regular schedule and the wh

A week of beginnings

May God bless the words of my mouth and the words I write on this blog. For purposes of the story tellings, everyone has a nickname for this blog. Papa and Mama, Warhawk, Hummer, Strongman, and Warrior. Those might change as we go as might a lot of things. but thats part of the journey, isn't it? and the adventure! Papa started his first week at language school and the first week was all about English grammar. The thinking that if you learn English grammar, then that will enable you to learn another language (more easily?). It was a weird thing for him to have homework again... We celebrated Warrior's 2nd birthday this week and it was really funny, as I had prepared a cake and frosted it (half vanilla and half chocolate) and everyone waited inside eagerly but he didn't want to come it- just wasn't interested. he was sitting outside just playing with some dirt. Finally we got him to come in, and as I lit each of the two candles, he blew them out- it was so funny! b

To see the world the way You do

To see detailed hearts and what love will make us, I pray I can see what you see- despite all- behold in a moment what You see in a lifetime- deep drenching love, deep beyond it all. I pray also for my husband and kids- fire to burn away the crustiness, labels, and reveal eyes that see- through our hearts- can guide us to be the Jesus that He is to me.
