Yesterday morning, I was awakened at 4:30AM by a loudspeaker making announcements right outside the hospital compound. I may have had too much time to think at that point, because I decided that, inspired by Stephen's Random Saturday post, I would do one of my own day.
The good thing about getting up SO EARLY, is that I have time to get more done before the day really begins. I was able to make bread, do morning chores around the house, read a little, and do some e-mail.
And the best part is I was even able to have a conversation with Stephen. Uninterrupted time together is hard to come by around here. :) I was forced to take desperate measures and drink some of Stephen's coffee. (a little coffee along with some chocolate powder and sugar)
By 8:00 it was time to start school. It was a little depressing to think that my day was just beginning! But I didn't have long to think about it, since we had some company.

Eamon was here for ten months, volunteering at the hospital. He stopped by for a visit as he was preparing to go.

Sarah Speer was spending a few more minutes with Eamon before he had to leave. |
Then it was time to focus on school. We have our Bible, Language Arts, and Math. Some days we finish all of those before recess. If not, we continue them between recess and lunch.

Caleb is trying not to smile while working on his spelling. |
Language Arts- Specifically Grammar. This isn't Ian's favorite subject, but he has a great attitude towards his schoolwork. |

Math is hard! Isabelle is almost done with this year's book. |
While we were doing school work, our laundry ladies came to wash clothes. Everything has to be washed by hand, and it is a big job. |
Drinking the last little bit of Stephen's coffee (mixed with lots of powdered chocolate and sugar!) I hope he will be able to forgive me. |
more to come...
