Catch up time...

Hello friends... I know I have done a horrible job of updating the blog lately! Mark and I are back in full time language school (class every day) for the month of May. We will be taking our final language exam on the 26th so we are studying hard, trying to get prepared! Notice I said "trying!" Pray for us this month and especially on the 26th, that we will be able to relax and do our best on the exam!

I downloaded the pictures off the camera today and will go back to the beginning of the pics to update...

At the end of April we said goodbye to Buck and Donna Waters (or Uncle Buck and Aunt Deedee to our girls). They have been with us since FPO in Virginia and we are so sad to see them go but we are excited for them as they head out to their next adventure!

We shared a lot of laughs, some tears, celebrated EVERYTHING, struggled through language and then laughed some more!

We will miss dinners, beach days, stories after 10pm... the girls will definitely miss Uncle Buck buying our their Art Store when he came to visit!

This isn't goodbye just,

Until the next party...!

Tirza and Boby

Photo slideshow created with Smilebox Tirza's class at school has a special little buddy named, Boby. Each kid in the class gets a week to take Boby home with them. He comes with his little bed and a little vet kit, so cute! While you have Boby you take pictures of what you do with him and then the next week you get Boby's book. And each child has a page to put their pictures and explain what they did during the week with Boby. It is SO cute and the kids get so excited to have their turn with Boby! The name Boby (and I wish you could hear Tirza pronounce it... you have to say it with a serious accent on the y, like BobEE, it's so cute!) is a combination of Bolt and Brilhante. The kids in the class got to pick that it would be a dog and the name. The boys wanted Bolt and the girl Brilhante, so the compromise was...BOBY! Tirza really enjoyed her special week with Boby!
