Just another week...

Lately, it feels like the weeks have been running together. We are now in the 3rd week of homeschooling & 8th week of teaching, & things are moving along smoothly. I think we now have a rhythm. Everyone appears to have adjusted to doing school in the morning (8-9:30), going to the bateys in the afternoon (9:30-1:30), & finishing school in the evening (2:00-5:00).

We missed several days of teaching last week thanks to hurricane Irene, but we're back on track. As you might have guessed, we came out of the storm in good shape. We only experienced rain (and lots of it) along with some high winds one evening. The roads also flooded, but once the sun came out, the water dried up quickly. We had trouble getting to the bateys because the bridge we have to cross was under water. There were a couple of days following that it was still covered, but we crossed anyway :) I'll put up some pictures so you can get a better idea.

Anyway, not much else has happened. We appreciate all of your prayers (and I can't say that enough). Hope everyone is doing well & feel free to call or email. We love getting updates from all of you!

Hugs to all,
Katie
