Okay, so this is a terrible picture.  But what middle school boy is going to stop and smile for the camera with all his new classmates watching?!  ; )


It gives an idea of the kind of "bus" the kids are taking to school.  Will's campus is farther away, so he  gets home a bit later.  Jack and Mary take a bigger bus to their campus.

It's purple!

Anne's school is only half-day, so she gets home around 11:40.  The bigs kids got home around 2:45, happy and exhausted.  After a snack, each one could be found laying in bed and reading a comic book.

This is the boys' room.  It's hard to see, but Anne is standing next to Will's bed and Jack's mattress is on the floor on the right.  
The community here has been very welcoming and the kids are finding friendly playmates.  They will be learning French and Bangla and are already practicing for their Christmas programs.  Every day is still full of new and unfamiliar experiences.  This is both fun and exhausting!  : )

Jet lag...

We've made it to Dhaka!  Everything is going very well, but there is one problem:  the time change.  Here the time is ten hours later than it is in Maine.  So, even though our bodies feel like it is almost 11 in the morning, the actual time is almost 9 at night.  It's going to take a while to get used to this!  So what do we do when we're up at odd hours of the night?  We read, play Legos, and...
COVER OUR BROTHER WITH STICKERS.  ; )
