Updates and Misc

Things are going along well here. The weather is transitioning from spring towards (soon) summer. We've had some really nice days, and Emily and I are both vowing to try to walk more. This has been a slightly lighter week for me than in the past. I have a guest teacher for one class and was able to recycle materials for another class. So things are a little better. However, I never seem to get as much work done as I wish to.

Eva and Eli and Sam have all been outside a lot more lately. In the afternoon they often go in front of the library here and play with other kids. Eva and Eli, of course, idolize Sam, and laugh with him a lot. Today they had a great time chasing a ball kicked around by an older kid. It was fun to watch all three playing together. Eva kept saying "ball, ball, ball." It sounded like "bahhl, bahhl, bahhl." There's a cherry tree outside that is dropping cherries now (they're about dime sized, and people do eat them), but part of our job was also to stop the kids from eating the gnarly cherries on the ground. Eva is crawling up on our table a lot, which always freaks us out a little.

Coming up in the next week are: taxes, sometime medical reimbursements (we have a few more months), some other academic-ish projects, and so on.

I'll try to add pictures soon. I hope everyone is well and we'll try to keep in good touch.
