an excerpt from a letter i sent out yesterday...
we are looking into getting a membership at the Y in boulder so that i can take the kids swimming during the week. i think camille especially would love having swimming skills to channel her energy, physical and mental. i've been taking all three of them to the playground on nice days, and they love that. sometimes i can chat with other parents, which is nice.
you can pray for us that God would use this wonderful time of summer in a new and different way than the precious days we have when the students are here.
the kids had probably the worst night on record - many wakings from all three. e&i are pooped. i don't feel like getting out on days after nights like that, but that's usually the best thing!
My friend got a membership to the Y while she was visiting in the States. She could go exercise for an hour while the kids were at the Y day care; and then take them swimming afterwords. It was a nice break for her since her husband wasn't in the States ( he was in Korea working); and it was a treat for the kids. Another friend did the same thing, and enjoyed having a healthy and fun activity for everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteI will pray you get some better rest and do not feel as isolated. It always feels like a ghost town when a campus empties out. I just had my last day with my students! I will miss them, but I look forward to sleeping in!!! -Kelley-
