the kids












I am really amazed at how quickly our kids have adapted to their environment, especially Ila and Mei.
The first picture above is taken during Escuela Manuel Dublan's monday flag ceremony. This monday, Liam's first grade english class did a presentation on honesty. Liam is the blonde kid holding onto the letter N.
The second picture is of Mei at preschool. She told me yesterday that all of the kids at preschool have brown eyes and that Ila and Mei have blue eyes.
The last picture is of Ila with our neighbour Isaiah. They used to be best friends and get along so well but now they always fight and pinch each other and Isaiah gets along with Mei instead. He tries to kiss them. He's about six months younger than them and they all share a love of caballos (horses).

Hey Guys!!
I have had fun catching up on your trip, and quite frankly, I'm jealous! I had no idea how/if it was all going to turn out, but I'm so glad things are going well. What an awesome adventure!! I'm sure you and your kids will treasure this experience for a lifetime. We miss you here and wish we could join you in that wonderful warm weather. Maybe one day we'll be brave enough to leave this town and Mom's home-cooking! Keep sending those updates and fabulous pics... be sure to get some family pics in there! I'm anxious to see what you guys do next! Take care. God bless.
Hugs,
Halvorson family
