New posts? I love new posts!

We haven't done much this week. Mairyn went on a field trip to a farm where they make soap, raise ducks and other stuff. She got to bring home a little soap that they made. Eliza had her half-term holiday this week on the 23 & 24th. No school! She gets out of school the 26th of June. And we're off to the states on the 27th! Grant is in a word funk. He loves everything! He'll ask, "What's that?" pointing to a basket or window. And I say, "It's a basket, Grant." "Basket? I love baskets!" Or the bread on the counter. "Bread? I love bread!" And that's how most of our conversations with Grant have been for the last little while. And Jacqueline has been babbling all week. More than usual. Now it's "ba-ba-ba-ba" or "ma-ma-ma-ma". Or some other jibberish, but it's her jibberish. And she'll copy you. You say something and she'll imitate it. The little parrot. I have been busy showing a woman around Maadi. She and her husband and two little girls got here to post about 3 weeks ago. And I was assigned as her sponsor. So we've been corresponding for the past few months, answering questions, etc. Now I'm just taking her around, getting her familiar with the area and things to do! Also, I'm helping my friend Rachel get ready to move. She, her husband Mat and their 4 girls leave Egypt on the 20th of June and are moving to . . . . . . Rexburg! Mat got a job with BYU-I in the Psychology department. So it's not really goodbye for us, it's just see you later! She has been my closest friend these last two years in Egypt. Isn't that wild? 2 years!!! Not that she's been my friend, but that we've been here in Egypt that long. Ok, you can stop laughing at me. Alright, that's all for now. And Jacqueline won the draw for which gets kid a picture(s) posted.
