The Fall...in Pictures

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted to our Blog. I'm terribly sorry for it. There have been many developments in our life from mid-October until today...you've probably ready about them already above.

These are some photos from events at our school. Sports Day and Harvest Festival...hope you enjoy a glimpse into our world this Fall...

Above: Magpie had 10 girls over for a sleepover....she turned 10 on October 30th. It was really a day of celebration. Not just for her birthday but how God answered our fervent prayers for her to have friends. I fed a huge American dinner to 18 kids complete with a pink birthday cake. Then these eight stayed overnight. We really enjoyed the night!


Above & Below: Shots from our "Crazy Hat Day" to celebrate Halloween.







These shots were from the Kindergarten's Harvest Festival. There were many games for parents to do with kids...including "making your own fishing net."...this activity was clearly designed for families who had observed the local "One Child" policy. With three in Kindergarten...we nearly went cross-eyed sewing 3 nets!




A good 'ole relay race for Potato and her Daddy.



Below: The nets held!



Below: A proud pair showing off their fishing net craft.









Above & Below: Some more shots of "Morning Exercises"....the students do them everyday for 15-20 minutes. Brownie in the shot above demonstrates that she is very concerned with FORM as well as FUNCTION.


Below: This is the shot of our entire Elementary School Staff and Student Body for this year. We were so happy to try on our new T-Shirts for our 2nd Annual Sport Day that was overseen by our very own Daddy, who is the Dean of Students at our school.
