How long has it been?

Just thought I'd give ya a cute picture!
I'll try and post some more later!

I've heard from a few of you that it seems like forever since we made our last post! It sure seems like it! We are in the middle of our Live CLA (Culture & Language Acquisition) Practicum. This is the time that we get to put into practice what we have been learning since we got here a year and a half ago. We have a session for 2 hours everyday Mon - Fri with our language helper, who happens to be one of our classmates as well. She is From Mexico! We have a lot of fun. But it is also a lot of work to plan for our sessions, file them in a program called CLAWARE, and also review them. Jim puts in about an 8 our day and mine is usually about a 4-6 hour day. We also have Arika during this time, except during our session and about other our of the day. One of the other moms and I switch back and for with the girls! So we have been extremely busy!
We are doing well and are enjoying this opportunity! We thank you all for your prayers and for being patient with us as it took us a while to make a post!
Joy for the 3 of us!
