Today I took a short break from my jet lagged life of sleeping in late at woke up at 7 AM.  Company was on their way and my house was turned upside down.  They weren’t scheduled to arrive until around 11 AM but I knew that it would take me that long to make the place look decent.  They are another missionary couple who live about three hours away so we do not get to see them very often.  They don’t have a Pizza Hut where they live so they wanted to buy some for us for lunch.  I love it, John hates it.  We all enjoyed it but mostly we have enjoyed the time of fellowship.  They have a sweet little boy that they have adopted.  He is two.  They also have a little Romanian girl living with them temporarily.  She is six and Holly has had a great day having a friend all to herself all day long. Right now they are all in the living room watching a movie that I have already seen.  It’s one of those “once is enough” movies.  At least for me.  Gabriel could probably watch it on a daily basis.  I feel incredibly rude not watching it with them but I am sure that I would sit there and fall asleep.  I begged to be excused.  Unfortunately, they will have to leave tomorrow morning, making the visit much too short.  But we all have things that must be tended to ministry wise and of course there is school. 

I talked to the kids yesterday about our sporadic school schedule.  We do not live a normal life, making a typical September through June school calendar impossible.  So we all agreed that we would officially be year round schoolers, which is pretty much what we have been doing anyway.  Is there a term for that?  I really don’t like the idea of just saying, “We school year round.”  Seems there should be something more sophisticated.
