Title: Daily life

Well we are settling into somewhat of a routine here, and still every day is an adventure! Once I get a few pictures, I will tell you about our little twins, George and Eugene. I feel like Mary Poppins, more on that later.

Wednesday night we went to the BBQ that was hosted by the Omaha team. It was great! They have these table sized fire pits (see the picture) with a grate over the top. You skewer your own food and grill it yourself. It is a social event and the park had hundreds of these grills. They said on a holiday, every table is taken. The Omaha team also brought stuff for smores. The Chinese weren't too thrilled (too sweet), but I appreciated them immensely!

We continue to enjoy our morning classes. We are with the low and middle level speakers ages 5-13.The little ones are so cute! They just love to learn and try their best. They will say things like "May I come in Suzy?" It sounds so adorable. We played a fishing game with poles and put words on the fish-they really got into it. The older boys are not excited about learning English, so our challenge has become to get them to engage and smile. We taught them how to make their hand into a rubber band gun to "shoot" the turkeys during our Thanksgiving lesson. They had never done that before! Then on Friday, we played Jenga with them. They had to say a word and pull a block, then a sentence and pull a block, then ask a question and pull a block. They loved it!
