Family Day at School

On Saturday, the kids participated in Family Day at school. I took some video that I will try to upload this week, so that you can see their "dances/songs" that they participated in. They had a lot of fun playing games as well. I've uploaded all the pictures to Kodak Gallery - if I missed your address with the invite to browse them, let me know, and I'll send the link. Here are a few pictures.

We've also started our time with Youth in Mission. They arrived on June 1st, and we've been running ever since. When you think about us, please pray for our health. Scott is running like crazy, with lots of trips, and to get sick doesn't really fit into our schedule. We have a group of 11 this year - 5 from Mexico and 6 from the States. They are a great group - ready to tackle anything. We are trying to enjoy our last few months in Guatemala as we are with them, so a few of our tourism activities include some of our favorite places (like Lake Atitlán) :)

Scott and I also celebrated 8 years of marriage last week. We got away for a nice dinner at our favorite fondue restaurant - a couple of the Youth in Mission girls babysat for us. Scott surprised me with 3 dozen gerbera daisies and I got him the KU championship DVD. It's been a long time since we've both gotten each other a gift for the occasion.

Gerbs - My FAVORITE!

Lots of love to our dads - we hope that you had a great Father's Day. We are celebrating tomorrow night in our house, when Scott's back home. We are going to order pizza, and we made a butterfinger dessert. We think he'll like our plans... ;) Love, hugs and kisses to all.

PS - just for a change of pace, check out the video bar - Human Japanese Tetris is currently one of our favorites.
