Routine...

I have become really quite awful at keeping this blog up to date. I guess that life is so routine right now that I feel that I have little to report.

Right now I am consumed with walking 5 miles a day 5 days a week (I finally did a Google map calculation and found that I walk 2 KM each way to school, times 4 equals about 4.96 miles).  Plus I’m playing tennis 3-4 days a week.  I have recently started a bible study that meets once a week with five days of homework on the Book of Daniel. I have also started taking guitar lessons! Both of these things are very new ventures for me. I am REALLY enjoying both.  All of this activity is finished before I pick up Henri at 11:45 a.m. Then the real work (and fun) begins!

Henri seems to really like school. His Teacher Ms. Megan writes really nice things in his communication book about his enthusiasm over… the construction they can see from the playground,… the book about the five little monkeys (which he enjoys reciting as he jumps on the bed – totally ignoring the “NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED” line)…. They are gearing up for Halloween festivities so I’m sure I will post pictures of that soon enough.

We are looking forward to having visitors soon – Maxime’s friend Thibaud is visiting next weekend and then two weeks later we will have Vanessa! So happy! We are also looking forward to having Vanessa and Colin for Christmas and somewhere along the way we plan to visit Maxime’s family in France/England. So the rest of this year is looking pretty interesting, indeed.   Of course next year will bring change for us but I’m still trying to live in a peaceful state of denial until… Well until I can’t anymore.
