Training!

We are here and we are overwhelmed... so sorry for the lack of updates. But let me explain why.
1. No internet during the day- they turn off the internet access while we are in class. I guess in the past some people would bring their computers and not so much pay attention as search the web... so we suffer.
2. They are cramming 8 weeks into 6 weeks. Which means we we are in classes from about 8-5 every day. And we have homework... no, I am not kidding we really have homework and LOTS of it! Not to mention eating and sleeping some as well.
3. There are fun playgrounds and lots of kids so the girls don't really want to sit inside a meeting room at night so we can be on the computer:)
Anyways, it is really good to be here. We are settled into our quad, all the people in our quad are going to Western Europe so that is lots of fun. The big girls are really enjoying school and making lots of new friends. Tirza is doing better than I thought she would, she is still adjusting some but she likes it for the most part. Mark and I are doing our best to absorb as much information as we can... sitting and listening for 3-4 hours at a time is a struggle for me but the info is so good and useful we really want to take in all of it that we can.
Just so you know... Sahara eye has healed really good and it's bothering her anymore. And we have a peacock, or peetock as Tirza would say, that has decided to hang around the front of our quad, no I am not kidding and yes we will get a picture of it up soon:)
