Girls Days

Well we have made it through two days without Sean with us and we did quite well. Monday after he left the girls took a long nap so I got a nap and some reading time which as delightful for all of us! Then we just hung out around the campus and played games, colored, worked puzzles and met new people. After a great dinner of fish (Whitney had three pieces) we sipped hot chocolate on the porch and called it a night. I am so thankful for my girls being great eaters and trying so many new things. Everyone comments on how well they eat everything and it is a true blessing. Tuesday morning the girls rose again with the sun at 5 and we played away two hours until it was finally breakfast time. Since we wouldn't see Sean all day we were looking for something to do. There is another student group here during from UGA and Auburn doing cultural studies and they are leading an English camp at the elementary school in the village. They invited us to come and it was incredible. Whitney jumped in the activities and was teaching the kids some English words and making friends with the college students. They were all so sweet to her and it was great for them to be able to interact with someone besides me. They played some fun games in the gym and the girls loved it. I was so thankful for their willingness to let us hang out with them this morning. Whitney is attached to a few of the girls now and she found one named Whitney and another named Grace which she thinks is amazing. They are all doting on Whitney and Haley and they are eating it up. After naps and dinner tonight we got to do some salsa dance lessons with their group. The girls were adorable and had fun letting loose. I feel like they are settling in to our temporary normal and accepting it with better attitudes as the days go on. We have had fun on our girls days but are looking forward to seeing our man again tomorrow!
