Excitement Builds

As you can imagine the closer we get to Christmas, the nosier it gets around here...the tradition here is to open presents on Christmas Eve, but Joyce has told them we will wait until Christmas day...I'm betting she gives in, a least a present or two!

Still battling colds, but getting some better...

Had 4 of the kids, Cesar, Antonio, Rosa, & Pedro, tested by a school principal for special needs children and she says none of them know anything...no reading, no math...which, of course, we already knew!

The rains stopped, but the paper says we will have record cold on the 24th & 25th....I was told Guatemala even received some snow in the mountains for the first time ever. I may have to practice my snowboarding!!!
