So much to say...I've really struggled lately as to what I should write for blog posts. Now that we are almost done with our third year, I feel like I've written about every traditional school event and given some insight into our ministry here. So instead of laying out the details of our upcoming week (it's a busy one), I think I'm gonna just share some thoughts. Recently, one of our friends blessed us by coming over and finishing the paint in our living room. He has experience as a professional painter...and he's super tall, so he made quick work of a job that we have put off for 6 months. Anyways, having this task completed made it possible to start using our enclosed balcony as a reading/hangout/movie watching nook. I've been spending a lot of my down time in this nook. I've got a comfy chair that rests against a radiator, a shelf to my right for placing beverages, and the glass patio door to my left overlooking our yard and the hof. Kailyn loves to
