In Dakar. Together again!

We are so blessed to be together again. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the school's art show. All the students art was displayed, and awards & honorable mentions were given.

Hilary won in the category for Graphin Design for her book cover..She also did these two great watercolor pictures of some people we know. ;-)

Then the handbells & choir made presentations. It was nice to be a visiting parent and see some of the hard work the students have been doing.

Today we'll go to the church service at school, and take part in the other activities for the week.

God has really given our kids a blessing through Dakar Academy. The blessing of other adults who can put positive input into their lives, and to encourage them and train them in areas we're not quite so strong in. As well as the social interaction and interplay with the other kids.

Ben has loved being a part of sports like handball, basketball, volleyball. Those activities have been a great source of enjoyment for him this year. As proof of this he showed us his running shoes, that even a liberal dose of duct tape could never save.... Lisa went out with him yesterday, and found a pair to help him finish these last weeks, and get on the plane.

Thanks for praying for us, and our family.
