We are about month into language school and books have taken over our house. Things are said in our house that we've never said before. Things like - - "Georgia and Reese! You need to brush your teeth so we aren't late for school. Mom and Dad can't get a tardy in Grammar class!" We always pause and laugh. I think Georgia and Reese are enjoying the shared pressure of school with their parents.
Our days start around 5:30am and rarely wrap up before 10pm. Each moment is filled with attending classes, studying, cooking, hanging laundry, washing dishes, washing dishes and washing dishes. Dishwashers are not a common appliance here. We've learned to record our Spanish vocabulary words and listen to them while washing dishes. Chris is continuing his chronological Bible-in-a-year reading by listening to each daily reading while washing dishes. Genius!!
Chris and I have greatly valued our Monday-Friday lunches together before we tackle the books. We make the 2nd pot of coffee for the day and study and sip, study and sip, study and sip.In the evenings all four members of our family are often found sitting at the kitchen table studying and practicing; very often, erasing and reworking. Never underestimate the power of caffeine!
