New! Baby chicks hatched while we were at church the Sunday before Christmas. Soeun got home first and was surprised to see them walking around the yard. And the family recently brought a second rooster from the province, so with the babies and new rooster its pretty noisy!
New! Since early December Soeun has been playing soccer weekly with a group of teenage boys from the neighbourhood.
New? Sundays have always been a juggle, we have tried lots of different combinations over the years in terms of local/expat church. Most of the time if feels like we can't be fully part of either. And this was all before kids and chronic illness joined the family. With the kids getting older we may need to adjust again...
New year... Soeun invited a few guys over to eat duck in the evening...20 people later and 5 more ducks....
New creations by the kids. They love building... the last half year we have had "spaceships", "houses", "boats", all big enough to climb into. This month the indoor preschool construction isn't one you climb inside. It's a carrier with some jet fighters etc, as well as some other boats. See photo. He took millions of these photos.
New perspectives on homeschooling. So I read about deschooling ages ago, and now looking back on the last half year it feels like the first few months with the kids at home were the hardest. They say not to do any school work at first, if you are taking your kids out of school, as getting used to being altogether at home needs to happen first. Feels like that how it worked out for us, not that we are doing any schooly type work yet anyway. Which makes me wonder how school families cope with school holidays! Kids would never be home long enough to get used to it?
New! Favourite song of the kids this month is Flawless by MercyMe.
