Friday Favorites



Well, maybe this isn't quite a favorite, but its a prayer request for sure.  Isabella has her first chapter algebra test at 10:15 central time this morning.  


This is a picture of our lunch one day this week.  Delicious.


I am not a Pop Tart fan, but I knew this would be a big hit for the rest of my family when I found these at store in Bogota yesterday.  This was the first time I have seen these here and this was the only flavor they had, which is the girls favorite!  


This week I attended open house at the girls school.  It is similar, yet a little different than those in the USA.  They occur during the school day and it isn't a "come and go" meet the teacher event.  Avery went with me to Brook's and we sat in a classroom while teachers rotated in for about 10 minutes to talk about themselves and what they will be teaching.  With Isabella's, I rotated to different classes to hear from her teachers.  At both events, we closed with prayer with parents of the class, all in Spanish.  Isabella is the only non-Colombian in her class, so I was quite the outsider yesterday and felt isolated at times, but that comes with being a foreigner.  Thankfully, I met one mom who helped translate for me.  With Brook's class, there is one more North American in her class, but she has lived in South America a while and she and her family are fluent in Spanish. Even with the hardships of Spanish, it was nice to be at the school and see the girls.  Isabella and I took a selfie during her break time.  It has been fun to see them with friends and enjoying their new school.  Today, I will go to the school after my Spanish class because Brook has a middle school after school event.  

Happy it's Friday and hope you have a good weekend!
