Every Friday is a mini day of celebration in our family. Classes are done for the week at noon. Daddy has a few more hours of free time. So to emphasize and cultivate family memories, I walk the kids down to the RGBI bookstore to pick out one candy bar a piece. Thanks to G & G and others for sending some money for the kids to spend!
Every Friday we try to get off campus as a family to go to a store and for supper somewhere special. During the week, we are cooped up here on campus. Yesterday, we all went to Burger King so that the kids could play at the play area for an extended amount of time.
I am not sure what our children's exact memories will be of their time here at RGBI, but making time for special family events hopefully will make positive impressions.
(The above photo may be deceiving in the fact that it was taken three weeks ago, when it was cooler. That's why the boys are wearing jackets. The jackets haven't been worn since.)
Thank you for praying for our family. There is no sense in losing my family in the process of learning Spanish. I need wisdom and balance in wearing the many "hats" of husband, father, and student.
