Rainy Season

  It is definitely the rainy season here. It rains off and on all day just about every day. Sunny and hot one minute, pouring down the next. Have spotted a couple rainbows, which the kids love. School is moving right along. Half way done with Term 1 already. MA & DB are swimming at school and I have been helping as much as I can with that. So I usually in the pool 4 times between the 2 classes. EL is champ. She sits there and watches and sometimes even snaps a pic or two of us swimming. We got some special valentines day cards in the mail this week from Papa Harold and Grandma Carol. EL took her card everywhere with her the day she opened it. And Matt's boss brought some gifts back from Grandma and Papa. Thanks to Mr. Hargis and Steve for getting everything from point A (Metamora) to point B (Brisbane).  We hosted Flat Stanley for a couple days before sending him back to his family in TX. We also made some special valentines for our school friends. It isn't nearly as popular here as it is in the USA. Kids don't exchange valentines at school, no party. They don't do class  parties for any holidays here actually.

 Friday evening I sat on the balcony and enjoyed the sunshine and a glass of wine. Some days you just need to take a break.

MA just told me she is going to write a love story that never ends!
