New bikes!
Jerod trying his bike out!
Alex wanting to pop a wheelie and then thinking twice! ;o)
Annie thinking her bike is WAY pretty!
Jerod and Alex enjoying a little freedom. Of course, I am a nervous wreck!
So, are these shorts or capris?
What a great day! We bought new bikes for the boys and found an almost new bike for Annie at Goodwill. They haven't been able to ride bikes since living out of the country and they were so excited to get new bikes and start riding with some new friends. We hope that Annie can learn to ride without her training wheels this year. (We are behind schedule!)
We are trying to find new clothes for each of us because we really didn't have much that looked unfaded once we got here. (Plus we were WAY outdated!)It is really scary how we have looked for the past 4 years and didn't even know it, or care! :o) So, we went to Target for the, oh let's say 6th time since Friday and were trying to find shorts for them. My question for all of you "In style" mothers is.... are they supposed to be this long? Every pair we find in their size is below the knee. In Mexico the only people who wear these are the "thugs." So, is this the style now? I took this picture in the dressing room and I am sure everyone around thought I had lost my mind. However, I wasn't going to buy these shorts unless I knew if they were the "thing." So, please help me!
I have a HUGE prayer request. We thought we had found the school for Annie to attend for Kindergarten. However, we went for an interview the other day and they told us they were moving locations. That of course was one of the main reasons for picking the school. Now it will take us about 30 minutes each way to drive her to school. We only have one car and I will be homeschooling. So, an hour of driving each way every day is a lot for us. (Not to mention a lot of expense in gas) We have already paid the registration fee and now we are trying to find another solution. We looked all over today and found NOTHING. We have one small chance tomorrow. We have an appointment at 10 am to meet with a principle about putting her into a new school that is just opening. It sounds great, but.....it very expensive!! So, please pray they can give us a scholarship or we will be driving a long way all year long. I know it sounds little, but it is big to me! Thanks for praying!!! Love you! Missy
I'm a little confused. Why won't you homeschool Annie?
ReplyDeleteYou're making us MIGHTY homesick! What culture shock . . . from being a little under cover to having SO many churches to choose from! Get your batteries recharged, 'cause we need ya' back here when you're done. Love ya' Hugs . . . bear hugs for your 3 stooges. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVicky, I guess I should have been more clear about that! We decided to put Annie in school because she is needing some socialization. Since we left the states when she was 18 months she has never had any kind of interaction with other kids her age. In the village, the children her age usually speak Purepecha only. Therefore, she has has only had interaction with older, Spanish speaking children. (for the most part) So, since we had the opportunity to put her in a school with other children we thought that would be the best thing for her. Hope that answers the question!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some help on the shorts!! I wish I could help you with the shorts but we honestly don't know. Drew wears what ever fits and is comfortable!!! I'm glad that you are keeping up with the blog!!

Oh Missy, thanks for the pictures. We will be praying about the school problem for Annie. I can understand why this is so important for her. Please keep us posted. Have a happy July 4th. Hope you all can see some fireworks someplace. I'm sure the kids would love them.
