For several weeks, Drew attended a class held at another family's house with a Montessori teacher, Miss Virginia. Most of the kids here attend full time preschool so these kids were waiting for their fall term to start. He loved it! Now he's back home with me every day but I'm looking for something similar to do with a few other kids in our house 1 or 2 days a week.
Chase has started karate after school on Mondays and is currently doing swimming in PE. He really enjoys it. He has a little homework each day (he's only 7 and we already butt heads) and he is asked to have playdates with friends almost every day. This is the story of his life. Friends + Activity = Sheer Happiness for him, but ask him to write a sentence you can read and you can forget it. :) Oh, he can do it - but it takes WAY TOO MUCH TIME as far as he's concerned. It is our one goal this year - with his teacher - to get him to write legibly with words you can understand. Focus. Focus. Focus. This weekend he starts soccer (football). We'll keep you posted.
Birthday parties are a big thing here - we just had 2 in one week. A Lebanese friend and an Italian friend - and they were HUGE affairs! Both lasted a very long time. The kids had so much fun! Pics below of some party fun!
The boys continue to adjust very well. They do miss their grandparents and cousins, little friends from our moves, and maybe the occasional Double Stuffed Oreo, but their life here is very good. They haven't missed a beat.

| Driving the bumper boats (these went very fast - again, Ghana does not have the same safety regs as the US). :) |

| Chase opted for the clown - that's a first. |
