Back to school


Now that we finally have all of our books, we can dive into a full day of school.




We love the routine, and I'm really proud of our kids for having great attitudes and working hard (especially since they've been out of the Choate Schoolhouse for seven months!)


Even Katherine is having fun learning with funnels, measuring cups, and bottles to fill.


Katherine was diagnosed with malaria yesterday, and she is responding to her meds beautifully. I'm so thankful that God has given wisdom and knowledge to people so they can create ways to feel better quickly, but I'm especially grateful for those of you who continually lift up our family in prayer.

Yay for Choate School! So glad Katherine was feeling better enough for you to get back to it. Looks like everyone was really doing well.

So glad you have all of your school supplies now. I'm sure that makes it a little easier to "school" now!

I'm thrilled that Katherine is responding to her meds, though I am sorry that she needed them in the first place!

Ali looked at the bottom picture of Katherine in the tub...she said, "That's ME!!" After I explained to her who that was, she was fascinated with the egg beater in the tub!

praying for you guys! We know God is going to do great things through you on this adventure, sorry you are fighting a battle getting there:)

Glad school is up and running again! Enjoy your days.

We are in Beijing, it's really cold, tomorrow morning we head to the Great Wall (hopefully, there was a mix up with daddy arriving tonight so we have to get him before we can go- hopefully it all works out, this is what our kids have been dreaming of!)

Then off to Xian tomorrow evening and in less than 48 hours, we'll be a family of 6!!!!

Love you guys!
Blessings,
Gayly

We check in frequently to see what you guys are up to and pray for you often. Praying especially for you guys as you stand firm in the battle, pressing on towards the goal. Love and hugs to all!

phNahna went to the baach today and it was absolutely beautiful...Wish I had a picture to send.
I am so glad that everyone seems to be doing better and that all is well in the "classroom".

Love to all.
