International Friends and ESL



We had an awesome opportunity to be a part of an International ESL class at a local church in our area. Since Bennett has been teaching himself the Japanese language and culture this has been a blessing. We have met some awesome friends in the process and look forward to volunteering more in the fall.


I was invited to the end of the year celebration given by the ladies group. The mens group had a dinner as well but I was not able to get any pictures.


The ladies were really nice in explaining to me the difference between American Japanese and Japanese food. They always laughed when I showed them what was considered Japanese cuisine here. It was nice to try authentic Japanese food.  


Bennett has really enjoyed this experience and looks forward to the direction that God leads him.

Backyard Nature Study

 
We love sitting in our kitchen watching nature. Every spring we discover a new bird. This year we have hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles. It's always exciting to see new birds at your feeders.
 
 
While walking through the woods the boys discovered a cocoon. We had never seen anything like it before so it was fun researching what it was. It turned out to be a tent caterpillars cocoon.

Nutrients for Life

 

I'm excited I got my free Nutrients for Life material in the mail today. I can not wait to utilize it this summer as part of our summer science fun.
