New Routines

We are slowly developing new routines and traditions here.  We wake up and hang out a bit before breakfast then usually head out to the days activity or play around campus. Then we have lunch at 12 and head back for books and naps. They get up so early they usually take a pretty good rest and I get some reading time while Sean is at class. Then we play around some more until dinner at 6. They have a little library here with some children's books and games which the girls have enjoyed a lot. After dinner they serve a small dessert and some delicious hot chocolate made with the milk from the morning. The girls have hawk eyes waiting for it each night and tell me when it is put out so I can pour them a mug. Then they retire to the porch to sit in rocking chairs and sip it while they tell jokes to make everyone laugh. I think this is their favorite time of the day. Then we head back to the room for showers which they now love and put them down for the night. Being in one room is kind of tricky so they usually get a good back rub to put them to sleep at which point Sean and I are so tired we clonk at as well around 8:30 or 9. Here ar some pictures of us on the porch and the girls sipping their drinks and laughing.
