Sunday afternoon we picked up the newest member of our family: Surangkana Tornsatitkul (Looknam)- an AFS exchange student from Thailand. She is 17 and will be staying with us for the next 10 months. We had lots of fun converting our office into a 5th bedroom filled with pink things for our new daughter. She is so sweet and we know it will be a fun year sharing our country with Looknam as we also learn more about Thailand!
Backpacks packed & ready...off they went... back to school! Dad drove Josh and Mom drove Caleb to their respective schools. This marks Josh’s last year in middle school. Caleb climbed up to 2nd grade this year and has a new teacher - Ms. Sornson. Except for the lightning that struck Josh’s school and took out a bunch of pcs.... it was an uneventful day. No tears. No meltdowns. No calls from school saying, “I forgot so & so...” No one threw up. No calls from the principal. The boys arrived home on their buses with smiles, happy about their first day back (probably because neither had homework). I enjoyed the quiet inside the house and the sound of rain, but it was a bit lonely and quite different from the unscheduled lazy days of summer. All too soon activities will be in full swing, so days like today are a treasure and far too few.
