What We're Up To These Days...

1. The Sumrall family returned to Korea last Friday night. That doubles the number of American families living over here with us.

2. We taught our final Family Sunday School class the last week of February. (Family Sunday School is a time when our family teaches character and parent training for those interested in home schooling or just about to begin.) We had a record amount of turn outs this past month.

3. Co-ops began! We are leading a high school co-op and a middle school co-op; the Sumralls are leading two elementary co-ops.

4. The high school guys have recently started playing basketball together every Monday morning. One girl goes so Dad decided it was a good idea for me to go, too. The complication? I have a slight problem with the whole getting-the-ball-in-the-net thing which is rather important in the game of basketball.

5. My personal favorite: spring must be coming because the weather is finally warming up. "Warm" meaning I don't have to worry about frostbite just going down to check the mail.

Kimchi being fermented in the dead of winter - on the very top of our apartment building. You have to crawl out on the roof where we have discovered these jars

The high schoolers started out the semester with a presentation on the names of God as we introduced the theme, "God is sovereign over history"







The basketball gang - all sweaty after the game (Well, at least, I was sweaty after running around after the ball, hoping I was doing the right thing.)






We're still working on keeping our fingers out of the electrical outlets...
