\"Josiah
Josiah in his Brazilian swimwear. Every Wen. is swim day at his new school & he has to wear his Brazilian swimwear. \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, it’s true.\u00a0 Classes have begun & our semester is off to it’s start.\u00a0 I never did say what we decided about Brazilian school, did I?\u00a0 Well, it turns out that we decided to enroll Josiah in classes at the private, Christian, Brazilian school and keep Ethan & Summer home.\u00a0 The older two have a lot of work to keep up with so they will be at the same level\/spot as their classmates (at PQQ) when they join them in Jan.<\/p>\n

Right now this is what our sech. looks like….<\/p>\n

Wake up at 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

Josiah is off to school at 7 a.m.<\/p>\n

Joel & I walk Ethan & Summer to Joel’s aunt’s house (about a 10 min. walk) where she watches them for us.\u00a0 She also helps them with Spelling & some reading (such a BLESSING!!!).\u00a0 This is from 7:35-11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Josiah comes home about 12:10\/15 p.m.<\/p>\n

We eat lunch.<\/p>\n

Rest time till 1:30 or 2:00, depending on how our day has gone so far. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/p>\n

Homeschool time begins after rest-time and goes till about 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to dinner time….sometimes the kids play a game with Joel, sometimes they help me cook, sometimes they just play,\u00a0or sometimes they watch a movie while they wait for dinner.<\/p>\n

Dinner is usually over by 6:30\/7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Then it’s shower time, teeth brushing time, clean-up their room, etc.<\/p>\n

At 8:15 the kids get in bed.<\/p>\n

Joel reads a story while Angela cleans up the kitchen & does the dishes.<\/p>\n

Then it’s time for Joel & Angela to do their Portuguese homework.\u00a0 We are also encouraged to watch the news, sports, or something to hear more Portg.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, at the end of a typical day, we are pretty tired.\u00a0 Espically when you add in the heat, high humidity, the fact that Joel has to carry water from a well for us to drink.\u00a0 We have to walk most places & carry our grocries home….it’s just ALL so different than what we are used to. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 We do praise the Lord that we had a chance to slowly get used to these sorts of things.\u00a0 Living down south was not as difficult, but it was a step in this direction.\u00a0 And we have been blessed….someone gave us an\u00a0AC to borrow.\u00a0 We use it in our bedroom.\u00a0 We were also able to buy one for the kids’ room for really cheap.<\/p>\n

So all in all, things are going well.\u00a0 We are VERY BUSY, but we are just trusting that the Lord will give us the strength we need to make it though this different times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
