Jellybean Day

Thursday, April 22
Today is National Jellybean Day, and thanks to a friend in Texas, we had jellybeans to celebrate.  The kids sorted, estimated, counted, and graphed the colors of jellybeans.  Then they enjoyed making jellybean sculptures before they gobbled up the sweet treats.
 
With Aaron in Honiara, we've been extra busy hauling buckets of water, remembering to turn the solar panels, and burning trash -- all of those little things that he takes care of frequently unnoticed.  Talking to him on the radio is the highlight of our day!
 
Tuesday after the Bikoi left, Sarah Kiko came by on her own to help me with language learning.  Katherine was super fussy, so we didn't do any recording, but I enjoyed being able to unexpectedly learn some Lavukaleve.  She also asked that we make a birthday cake for her son who will be ten on Friday.
 
Katherine's fever let up last night, and we're hoping it stays away.  Thanks for your prayers for her and for the rest of us (this mama is a little bit cranky!).
