Yes, school has started!


Victoria and Sofia getting ready for school. Don't let Sofia's face fool you -- she's thrilled about school, after 8:00 am!


We are a little slow on getting things published in this family, but indeed, school has begun. The girls have survived their first days of school; although, we are still adjusting to the schedule. Victoria is now in 3rd grade! This is rumored to be a difficult year in Mexico, so we are praying that Victoria will continue to do well. She already knew who her teachers were, and most of her classmates are back. So, she started with confidence. One tidbit of information that we failed to receive was start time. So, when we arrived at 7:30 am the first day and everyone was in class and seated I decided to ask. Sure enough, school now starts at 7:15. This is a big adjustment for us! It's still dark when Victoria goes to school
Sofia started kindergarten this year. It is her second year of school and she seems to be enjoying it. She also already knew her teachers, which is very helpful in adjusting. She goes with Victoria and I at 7:15, and then we sit in the car for about 30 minutes until I drop her off to start her day. This has been a special time to spend just with Sofia reading, talking, drawing or just sitting (usually she's brings her fluffy robe along to stay warm).
We are off to a great year for both these girls. We pray that they and we will be a light in that school for people that need the hope of Christ.

I am glad the girls like school. I am sure Victoria will do great; she is so bright and seems to thrive in any situation.
