The JJ-PIG's (Joy Anna, Joshua, Promise, Isaac, Grace - it's the new nickname and faster/easier than writing out all their names) and I headed to Grammy's yesterday. They love coming - they don't have to do chores while here! :) They also love just getting to play all day. I think we will be swimming in the lake today to keep cool. The temperatures start to soar, forecast is into the 100's for the next several days (ugh!).
I've talked with Andy and Danielle via SKYPE a few times now. It's great to connect, talk, and see them; makes it seem like they aren't so far away. Danielle is SO excited to start at Shiphrah. She loved everyone she met (imagine that!) and can't wait to get back into the birth world. She is looking forward to her return there Tuesday.
In the meantime, Andy and Danielle travel to Davao City tomorrow where they will spend their time. The weather is supposedly nicer; no rainy/monsoon season like it is in Manila. Saturday is the big boat trip with the directors, midwives and some students from Newlife, the school Danielle plans to attend next year. She is really looking forward to meeting everyone and spending the day swimming and snorkeling around the islands. She is updating her blog at: www.midwife4hisglory.blogspot.com for everyone to keep up with her.
I haven't heard much from Nathan this week. Andy dropped him and two other teens off Sunday at Liberty University Law School for a week with Teenpact Judicial. I've received just a few texts from him, very late at night, to say he is busy working and doing homework til then. This experience should give him an idea of whether he wants to be a lawyer or not. I look forward to picking him up Saturday morning and hearing all about it.
I had hoped this time at Grammy's would be a good time to get my school planning done, but that may stay neglected a bit longer...
Will try to take pix of swimming and playing and post them later.
