This and that, and oh yeah, some new pictures

To say that life has been hectic around here the past few days would be a gross understatement. I continue to try to prepare for travel...so I'm ready when that call finally comes...and keep up with everything that needs to be done concerning the remodelling, and just manage the day-to-day running of the house, and then there are these six children who could use some attention every so often. You get the picture. I walk around with long to-do lists and most of the time I'm sure that I'm forgetting something. So it was particularly nice to have the quaterly update on K in my inbox. I'm posting a couple here so you can enjoy them as well.

The children (especially the boys) have been enjoying this part of the construction. The vents for the air-conditioning(!) are being cut into the ceilings of all the rooms. This means that there are many worker-men in the house and not just in the back kitchen area. The little boys (and a bigger one) have been watching all the work with great interest. Plus, D has befriended nearly all of them. He knows their names and they stop to chat with D. There are other construction benefits for the little boys: raw materials. There always seems to be quite a bit of debris that ends up on the floor. When I came home from some errands yesterday, I discovered a charming little tableaux in one of the door ways (and I forgot to take a picture). Some broken plaster had been nicely put in a pile and surrounding the pile were TM and D's two large excavator trucks. I wish I could have seen the earth-moving in process.

I so hope that the next time I post I will have some news about travel. We are at the end of 7 weeks out of a 4-8 week wait.
