Kids in School

We got both Joshua and Karina enrolled in school. They both start tomorrow. They seem like very nice schools and the staff at both were very friendly and warm.

Karina gets a real kick out of the southern accents and we tease her that she will be talking like that soon. We are so happy that both of them are excited and happy to be here. Every day we learn of more neat things to do either on center or nearby. We will not be bored here!

We had dinner tonight with a couple who are on furlough from Indonesia. It was their first term and are gearing up to go back. It was very fun getting to know them and swapping stories.

The kids are having so much fun being outside all day. They are free to ride bikes and run and be on the razors all over the center. We are having fun leaving the doors unlocked again. It is such a great community.

One of the guys who works at the hangar stopped by our apartment today on his way home from work to introduce himself. He ended up staying about a half an hour talking and getting to know me. He has been a part of JAARS now for about 14 years and has worked over in Papua New Guinea. It was so neat that he just popped in to make us feel welcome! We have had quite a few of those.

I was supposed to start work on Wed, but it looks like I will need to wait another day for administrative reasons. I have plenty to do, though, so no big deal. I have to take both kids to school tomorrow, but after that, they will be on the buses from now on.
